1.2 Scope of Work
1.2.1 List of Works
The Works to be executed under this Contract shall include, but not be limited to, the design, construction,
installation, testing, commissioning, and remedying of defects of the following land-based items:
 Terminal land levelling (fill and pavements) in the Stage 2A area from nominal existing level +2.00 m
(Chart datum) to finished level +3.50 m (Chart datum), and in the Stage 3A behind and above the berth
rock berm to finished level +3.50 m (Chart datum).
 Ground improvements including those at the Phase 2 - Stage 3A berth (Berth 20) - not including dynamic
compaction.
 Demolition of an empty container storage yard facility (Stage 2A Initial) including all fills required to
facilitate ground improvement and allow for installation of the permanent container yard facilities.
Demolished Materials can be re-used in the Works provided they meet the project Specifications.
 Container yard facilities including rubber tired gantry crane (RTGC) runways, and heavy-duty concrete
block pavements to support container handling equipment, and container storage.
 Expansion of reefer storage including reefer racks and plugs.
 Internal roadways, parking, and holding areas together with connections to the existing internal road
system.
 All necessary ancillary works and services including storm drainage, power distribution, data, CCTV,
security, and communication systems ducts, water supply distribution, fire water distribution, fencing,
lighting, grounding, road and container yard signage and markings, including those at the Phase 2 -
Stage 3A berth (Berth 20).
 Interconnections of all services including electrical power, potable water, sanitary sewer, and
telecommunications to the networks identified in the Employer’s Requirements, including those at the
Phase 2 - Stage 3A berth (Berth 20).
 Firefighting facilities and equipment including extension of the salt water fire water distribution system.
 Reconfigure the truck entrance area to accommodate one additional truck in-gate, including truck kiosk
and canopy extension.
 Maintenance area for RTGCs in the Stage 2A container yard.
 Intermodal yard expansion including extension of four tracks (Track Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5), heavy-duty paving,
extension of RTGC runway beams, and associated safety systems required for safe and efficient operation.
Existing rail track Nos. 1 and 6 shall be left in place and heavy-duty pavement added up to the rails to
allow container stacking.
 Provisional Items:
 Dynamic compaction ground improvement of the general overall project footprint.

 Ecological Box Culvert Drain 2 between the perimeter ecological boundary containing mangroves
bordering the Naval Zone and Colonia Brisas del Puerto municipality and the existing Phase 1 box
culvert segment installed under Berth 19. This work is considered “marine” with respect to Table A.
 Various additional provisional items (if instructed).
1.2.2 Contract Forms and Packages
The construction works for the development of CMSA Container Terminal Stage 2A will be tendered as
follows:
 Main Works package includes items listed in Section 1.2.1.
1.2.3 General Description of the Facilities
The new container terminal is planned to provide for a future throughput capacity of 1,500,000 TEUs per
annum when fully built out. The site is being developed in phases.
The general finished surface level of the terminal is to be at approximately +3.50 m above MLLW and is to tie
into the existing quay in front of the Stage 2A area. The quay coping level is +3.50 m (Ref.) above MLLW.
The terminal utilizes super post Panamax rail mounted container cranes to load and unload container vessels.
The containers are transported from the quayside to the container yard on container tractor/trailer units. The
containers are stacked using RTGCs on the yards and reach-stackers in specific areas. Empty containers are
generally handled with empty container handlers or reach-stackers.
1.3 Design Requirements
1.3.1 Design Life
The design working life is defined as the period for which structural elements, pavements, buildings, electrical
and mechanical systems (E&M), services, drainage systems, etc., are to be used for their intended purposes
with acceptable maintenance, but without major repair and/or replacement being necessary.
Acceptable design working life, period to first maintenance and guidance on routine maintenance activities
for the civil, structural, electrical and mechanical elements of the Works is described in Table A, and for the
building elements in Table B. Table A and Table B also indicate what would be considered to be unacceptable

 300 mm over 25 years from completion of construction of the relevant section.
 150 mm over five years from completion of construction of the relevant section.
 100 mm over two years from completion of the relevant section.

2.3.2 Seismic Performance
Geotechnical design will include assessment of liquefaction potential and soil improvement as required to
meet seismic performance levels and settlement criteria:
 Contingency Level Earthquake (CLE) shall not result in liquefaction levels:
 Leading to casualties due to structural damages.
 Leading to collapse of permanent structures including the ecological culvert and the reefer access
platforms.
 Causing bearing capacity failure of container rows, although localized differential settlement of
approximately 0.5 m may occur after the CLE, in addition to post liquefaction consolidation
settlement.
 Appropriate stability analyses shall be undertaken to demonstrate the stability of all perimeter bunds and
revetments. The minimum factor of safety against slope failure shall be 1.5 under static loading and 1.0
under the post earthquake condition, with liquefied soil.
