Comments on specific features observed are as follows: The old cattleguard will be removed and salvaged and a new cattleguard will be installed at a different location as shown in the plans. If location of fence installation is in very rocky area a rock cairn may be constructed instead of an H brace. Shelters shall be single family units 16’-6” x 16’ posts to posts o.c. with 20’ x 20’ roof dripline. A known distributor of this product is RCP Shelters. The private historic waterline shall not be disturbed. Existing fire rings and concrete pads in existing sites will be removed by the Forest Service. The ground is very rocky. The existing borrow pit may be used for rock disposal. The specifications for pipe zone material, compaction, and density testing are important for this project and bid proposals should reflect consideration of this fact. A clearance of 5 feet each side of centerline shall be allowed for the waterline trench (per specification 311000 3.5 c.
