Project GAOA, Trail Bridges at Caples, Schneider, and Jobe

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

Fabricate, construct, and install two multi-user trail bridges on the Lake Margaret trail at the Caples and Schneider Creek crossings.

Option 1: Fabricate, construct, and install one multi-user trail bridge on the Lake Margaret trail at the Jobe crossing.

Option 2: Construct two sections of new trails that connect the existing Lake Margaret trail with the trail bridge locations totaling 0.8 miles following a pre-determined & flagged route.

2.0 Background

This is a 2021 approved GAOA project. Currently the three water crossings (Jobe, Caples, Schneider) consist of old, fire-scarred, and rotting logs with no handrails. Structurally sound bridges are needed at the three sites to allow the safe walking of the trail to Lake Margaret and improve or enhance recreational opportunities in the area.

3.0 Location

The project is located on the Amador Ranger District of the Eldorado National Forest, which is in Alpine and Eldorado Counties, California, in T10N R17E Sections 15,16, & 22. The Lake Margaret trailhead is located along Highway 88, approximately 56 miles Northeast of Jackson, CA and 0.5 east from the Kirkwood Mountain resort turnoff. The Caples Lake Caltrans Maintenance Station (helicopter staging area) turnoff is 2.3 miles east from the Kirkwood Mountain Resort turnoff. Exact location of helicopter staging area TBD. The Jobe trail bridge site (option 1) is 0.3 miles from the trailhead parking/staging area. The Caples trail bridge site is 0.75 miles from the trailhead parking/staging area. The Schneider trail bridge site is 2.2 miles from the trailhead parking/staging area. The trail re-routes are located before and after the Caples trail bridge site & before and after the Schneider trail bridge site. Both are flagged with pink ribbon.

4.0 Estimated Start Date / Period of Performance

September, 2025 / 120 Calander days

v. Equipment Cleaning: All off-road equipment used on this project shall be washed before moving into the project area so that the equipment is free of soil, seeds, vegetative material, or other debris that could contain or hold seeds of noxious weeds. “Off-road equipment” includes all logging and construction equipment and such brushing equipment as brush hogs, masticators, and chippers; it does not include log trucks, chip vans, service vehicles, water trucks, pickup trucks, and similar vehicles not intended for off-road use. Equipment will be considered clean when visual inspection does not reveal soil, seeds, plant material, or other such debris. Disassembly of equipment components or specialized inspection equipment is not required. Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer at least five days in advance of moving equipment in so that arrangements can be made for inspection. If the project area is known to contain noxious weeds, the equipment shall be cleaned before moving to other Forest Service system lands which do not contain noxious weeds.

vi.

J. Government Inspections:

1) Government Inspections are for the purpose of satisfying the Government that the services are acceptable and do not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for maintaining quality control. The Contracting Officer's Representative or designated inspector will conduct all inspections. The Contractor (or designated representative) is encouraged to be present to observe inspections.

Summary results will be made available on request.

2) Compliance Inspections are visual compliance inspections that will be made on a periodic basis while work is in progress. Inspections are not final and do not constitute acceptance by the Government but are made for compliance with the terms of the contract.

3) Final (formal) inspections for payment will be made on completed sub-items only. The contractor shall request final inspections in writing and give the Forest Service at least two working days advanced notice. Inspections will be completed within four working days after the notice is received. If the work is not ready for inspection at the time specified by the contractor, the cost associated with the inspection attempt may be charged to the contractor.

4) Disputed Inspections: The Contractor may request re-inspection without rework if the results are unacceptable. Re-inspection must be requested in writing within 48 hours after receiving written notice of the inspection results. Re-inspection will be completed within five working days after receiving compensation of the contractor's written request. The same sampling and inspection procedures will be used, but new samples will be taken. The inspection pattern will be shifted so that new samples will not overlap previously inspected samples. Results will be rounded to the nearest whole percent. If re-inspection results are within five percentage points of the first inspection, the original inspection result will be used in determining acceptability and payment. If re-inspection results are greater than five percentage points above or below the first inspection, the re-inspection results will be used. If the re-inspection results are within five percentage points of the first inspection.

the Contractor shall pay the actual costs of the re-inspection.

5) Reinspection after rework: Where re-work after a failed inspection may improve the inspection results, the Contractor may rework the area and request (in writing) a second inspection. The Government will charge the Contractor the cost of this additional inspection. Re-inspection will be completed within five working days after the notice is received. The results of the second inspection will be final, and no further rework will be permitted. Areas not ready for re-inspection at the time specified by the Contractor will not be reinspected, and the results of the first inspection will be final.

Work on this contract will be deemed acceptable when the Government’s visual inspections show compliance with all requirements of FAR Clause 52.246-12.

6) Public officials not personally liable: There shall be no personal liability upon the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer Representative (COR) in charge, their agents or employees, for any act performed in the discharge of any duty imposed or the exercise of any power or authority conferred upon them by, or within the scope of the contract, it being understood that in all such maters they act solely as agents and representatives of the Government.
