They protect groves of giant sequoias and the Kings Canyon as well as historic sites, vast tracts of Sierran foothills and high-Sierra wilderness, and diverse habitats ranging from 1300’ in elevation to 14,494’. The two parks were created separately but are now managed jointly as a single entity.

The work under this contract includes features to meet the requirements of Attachment 03

2. PURPOSE

The purpose of this contract is to provide for creation of 20 upright wall-mounted wayside frames, each with a space for one high-pressure laminate panels that is 35.875”w x 47.875”h. The frames shall be constructed of aluminum with a powdercoated finish. The exhibits will be exposed to climate extremes, including deep snow cover, full sun, high temperatures, and falling pine needles and small branches, and should be durable and resistant to weathering and vandalism. The panels to be installed in the frames will be provided by the NPS.

The frames will have two changes from traditional NPS wall-mount wayside frames:

• The frames will be installed in a kiosk with limited clearance above the tops of the frames, requiring the opening for the panels to be along the vertical edges, with 10 frames opening along the left side and 10 opening on the right side.

• The frames will be attached to two wooden beams that extend horizontally across the kiosk structure.
