SUMMARY OF WORK - 01010

1.1 - Location

The proposed recreational site is located on the Mesa Ranger District of the Tonto National Forest near Mesa, Arizona.

1.2 - Site Work

The site serves as a day use area and access point to the Salt River, that is heavily used by multiple recreational groups. Lack of adequate parking on the site has led to dangerous parking occurring on the sides of the highway near the day use site. Due to the popularity of recreating on the Salt River and ever-increasing use along its corridor, this site needs a complete overhaul to maximize capacity in the parking area, control parking along the dangerous highway, and provide safer access points to the river.

All work shall be completed in accordance with the project specifications and drawings. The work includes all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to perform all operations for the work specified.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the layout survey, construction control, and establishing and maintaining all horizontal and vertical control required.

Demolition – The Granite Reef Recreational Site will require relocating one existing vault toilet. The toilet consists of a pre-cast concrete housing sitting on underground concrete vaults. Adjacent concrete around the existing vault toilet shall be removed and disposed of as marked by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). The hole left from the removal of the existing vault shall be backfilled with suitable backfill and compacted in accordance with the project specifications.

Trees in construction areas, as specified in the plan, will be removed and disposed of.

Trees outside of the construction zone will be avoided and protected as specified in the plan. Existing pavement, curbs and sidewalks, and dumpster pad shall be demolished and removed. Existing picnic tables within the construction area shall be moved and stored for reinstallation at new picnic sites. Existing grills shall be removed.

Reconstruction - of this site will include a paved access road and parking areas and loading zones. The western loop provides overflow parking. This loop also provides a ramp with river access to be used by outfitter guides and emergency responders.

01010-2

The center of the site provides a one-way loop with passenger vehicle parking spaces including three accessible van spaces, and an unloading zone that leads to a river access point. The one-way road that leads to the exit of Granite Reef Recreational Site, to the east of the site, will provide parking for passenger vehicles including a large unloading zone that leads to the third river access point. The new road and parking areas also include pavement markings, wheel stops and signs. The project also includes three pre-cast concrete vault toilet buildings, three dumpster pads, and new informational kiosks.

Reconstruction of the Granite Reef Recreational Site will include 8 single-family picnic sites that will be placed between the parking area and the riverbank. Each unit will have a concrete pad, picnic table, and a pedestal grill. Picnic units will have concrete pathways leading from the site to parking, toilet buildings, and river access points. The sidewalks shall conform to Forest Service Outdoor Recreation Accessibility Guidelines (FSORAG) requirements and the project specifications for construction and installation. Download it here: DRAFT (usda.gov)

Reconstruction of Granite Reef Recreational Site shall include the construction of three concrete river access points, including one boat ramp for outfitter guides and emergency responders, and two public river access points.

1.3 - Facilities and Services

A construction work camp will not be allowed. A Contractor’s staging and storage area will be allowed where approved by the COR. Transportation to and from the work site for personnel and materials will be at Contractor’s expense.

Electricity and potable water are not available at the site. Water for construction and dust control is not available from National Forest lands. Development, hauling and placement of water shall be considered incidental to other pay items.

1.4 - Material Sources

All materials are available from commercial sources.

Furnish all labor, equipment, instruments, materials, transportation, and other incidentals necessary to complete the construction surveying and staking in accordance with these specifications and acceptable engineering practice. In addition, set grade-finishing stakes, and stake structures.

Conduct construction surveying and staking under the direction of a licensed professional land surveyor. Periodic visits to the project site are required.

2.1 – Stakes

Furnish stakes of the type and quality normally used in highway survey work, and suitable for the intended use. Furnish stakes and hubs of sufficient length to provide a solid set in the ground with sufficient surface area above ground for necessary legible markings.

2.1 – Government-Furnished Data

The government will set control points, and will furnish the Autocad drawing of the project for use in generating construction staking.

3.1 – Construction Surveying

Perform additional calculations for convenient use of government-furnished data.

Provide immediate notification of apparent errors in the initial staking or in government-furnished data.

Before surveying or staking, discuss and coordinate the following with the COR:

(1) Surveying and staking methods,

(2) Stake marking,

(3) Grade control for courses of material,

(4) Referencing,

(5) Structure control, and

01330-2

(6) Any other procedures and controls necessary for the work

All construction surveying and staking shall be within the tolerances shown in Table 170A. Survey field notes shall be prepared in an approved format. Furnish all field notes and calculations that support pay quantities. All field notes and supporting documentation become the property of the government upon completion of the work.

Start work only after staking for the affected work is accepted. The construction survey and staking work may be spot-checked for accuracy and unacceptable portions of work may be rejected. Resurvey rejected work and correct work that is not within the tolerances specified in Table 170-A. Acceptance of the construction staking does not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for correction of errors discovered during the work and for bearing all additional costs associated with the error. Remove and dispose of all flagging, lath, stakes, and other staking material after the project is complete.

(a) Control Points Relocate control points in conflict with construction to areas that will not be disturbed by construction operations. Furnish the coordinates (Northings & Eastings) and elevations for the relocated control points before the original points are disturbed.

(b) Roadway cross-section When required take cross-section normal to centerline. The centerline spacing between cross-section locations shall not exceed 50 feet. Take additional cross-sections at breaks in topography and at changes in the typical section. For each cross-section, measure and record points at breaks in topography, but at least every 15 feet. Measure and record points to at least the anticipated slopes and reference locations. Reduce all cross-section distances to horizontal distances from centerline.

(c) Slopes stakes and references Set slope stakes and references on both sides of centerline at the cross-section locations. Establish slope stakes in the field at the actual point of intersection of the design roadway slope with the natural ground line. Set slope stake references outside the clearing limits. Include all references point and slope stake information on the reference stakes. When initial references are provided, slope stakes may be set from these points with verification of the slope stake location with field measurements. Re-catch slope stake on any section that does not match the staking report within the tolerances established in Table 170-A. Take roadway cross-section data between centerline and the new slope stake location for determination of earthwork quantities if required by Section 160.05(b) or Section 161.02(b), set additional references even when initial references are provided.

(d) Clearing and grubbing limits Set clearing and grubbing limits on both sides of centerline at roadway cross-section locations, spurs, campsite use pads, and other areas requiring clearing.

(e) Centerline re-establishment

01330-3

Reestablish centerline from control points. Spacing between centerline points shall not exceed 50 feet. Establish centerline as many times as necessary to construct the work.

(f) Grade finishing stakes Set grade finishing stakes, for grade elevations and horizontal alignment, on centerline and on each shoulder of roadway. Except for roads 14 feet or less in width, NO centerline stakes shall be required. Set stakes at the top of subgrade and the top of each aggregate course. Where turnouts are constructed, set stakes on centerline, on each normal shoulder, and on the shoulder of the turnout. In parking areas, set stakes at the center and along the edges of the parking area. Set stakes in all ditches to be paved. The maximum spacing between stakes in any direction is 50 feet. Use brushes or guard stakes at each stake. Reset grade finishing stakes as many times as necessary to construct the subgrade and each aggregate course.

(g) Drainage structures Stake drainage structures to fit field conditions. The location of the structures may differ from the plans. Perform the following:

(1) Survey and record the ground profile along centerline of structure.

(2) Determine the slope catch points at the inlet and outlet.

(3) Set reference points and record information necessary to determine structure length and end treatments.

(4) Stake ditches or grade to make the structure functional.

(h) Intermediate surveying and staking Perform all surveying, staking, recording of data, and calculations as necessary to construct the project from the basic layout and controls established in (a) through

(g) above. Perform additional surveying and staking necessary to execute individual work items. Re-measure roadway excavation quantities if it has been determined that any portion of the work is acceptable but has not been completed to the lines, grades, and dimensions shown on the plans or established by the CO.

3.2 - As-Built Drawings

The Contractor shall maintain a set of the contract drawings depicting as-built conditions.

These drawings shall be maintained in a current condition and shall be available for review. All variations from contract drawings shall be indicated in red on the drawings.

Upon completion of the contract work, as-built drawings shall be submitted by the Contractor.
