C.2 Project Location and Access

Project is located at the Wrangell Ranger District Administrative Site at 525 Bennett Street in Wrangell, AK, approximately 80 miles northwest of Ketchikan. Wrangell is a remote community in Southeast Alaska, and is not connected to the mainland road system. It is accessible via commercial airline, Alaska Marine Highway System ferry service, and barge line. As of March 2021: commercial jet service occurs twice per day, one northbound and one southbound flight; ferry service occurs twice per week, one northbound and one southbound vessel.

C.3 Background The Wrangell Ranger District Administrative Site (aka the Wrangell Compound) includes a 9,400 SF two story office, 4,200 SF single story warehouse, 3,025 SF single story bunkhouse, and 3,360 SF single story garage. All buildings are wood-framed. The buildings were constructed in the mid 1980’s, and the heating and electrical systems were installed in 1986. All three heating systems (garage does not have a heating system) and much of the electrical service equipment is at the end of its operational life. The bunkhouse heating system is in the poorest condition of the three systems and must be addressed soonest. In addition, the bunkhouse lacks redundant heating sources (if the boiler goes down, there is no heat source) and lacks a cooling system. Throughout all four buildings, there are several electrical panels which are obsolete and/or violate code.

Building sizes: 9,400 SF two story office, 4,200 SF single story warehouse, 3,025 SF single story bunkhouse, and 3,360 SF single story garage. All buildings are wood-framed.

1. Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

2. Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

3. Constitute or imply acceptance; or

4. Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (I) below.

D. The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.

E. The Contractor shall promptly furnish, without additional charge, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

F. The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price.

If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

I. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.
