Construction on Guam[Munitions & Explosives of Concern (MEC)]
MEC Program: Applies to all DoD projects— Ensures safety during ground-intrusive activities
— Latest CNO Exemption E1-16B changes the TOl to 60mm.• Enables 18” lift method resulting in “semi-processed soil”
• Semi-processed soil required to remain on-site. Further screeningrequired to 20mm TOl to be classified as “MPPEH free soil”
— Letter of Clarification: Guidance on MEC Standardsoutside the DoD fence line.
— Requires significant planning and scheduling considerationwell in advance of construction

Construction on Guam(Natural I Cultural Resources)
— Endangered Species Act (ESA) protected species are addressedunder two Biological Opinions (BO) issued by U.S. Fish and WildlifeServices. The 2017 SO was issued to address 11 species(including orchids, tree snails, and butterflies) that were added tothe ESA list in 2015 and to re-consult on the Marianas Fruit Bat.
— Most of the BO requirements are addressed under separate naturalresources contracts.
— Another programmatic requirement is to implement a HazardAnalysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) program. The objective ofthe HACCP program is to reduce or eliminate the spread ofinvasive species that could be caused by this buildup program.Most contracts will be required to develop their own project specificHACCP plan.
• Cultural Resources— 2011 Programmatic Agreement (PA) establishes a protocol for DoN
to consult with the Guam Territorial Historic Preservation Officer forthis program.
— Most of the PA requirements are addressed under separate culturalresources contracts.
— Another requirement is for DoN to provide cultural resourceawareness training to contractor personnel.

Construction on Guam(NAVFAC Specific: eCMS)
• Goal: Electronic Construction Management System (eCMS) improvespost-award document management (e.g. RFIs, submittals, etc.) andoverall project-level communication
• eCMS is a web-based, enterprise project collaboration tool—Allows collaboration via web-site (e.g. web browser, internet service, and digital
authentication)
— Leverages COTS software (e.g. best commercial practices based on marketresearch)
— Leverages cloud capabilities (speed and storage)
— Provides other browser-based tools (e.g. scheduling tool for 3-week look ahead)
• eCMS is intended for GOV and KTR users associated with project
— Use eCMS in lieu of e-mailing docs—does not replace Dr Checks or eContracts
— Reduce number of “hard” copies (i.e. paper media)
— Provided at minimal cost to the Contractor or other users41
