Poison Spider Trailhead Rehabilitation Pre-bid meeting Notes 8/29/2022

Meeting held onsite @ 1400 hrs. Mountain time

Present: Stan Johnson (District Engineer, BLM); Ashley Wareham (Harrison Field Services);

Tammy Hampton (Medved Global)

Notes:

• Project MUST be complete by February 28, 2023 to prevent interference with the 2023 Jeep Safari.

• Access road and parking lot closures permitted, but not required. Primary driver is whether closure would be required for safety reasons

• Kiosk will be left in place; that bid additive item should be removed from consideration

• Gravel placement begins at uphill edge of asphalt

• Riprap placed per plans, including over sloped area between parking lot and access road, as shown in plans

Q&A:

• Does the riprap have to match the site rock?

o That’s preferable, but not required by specs. If our Recreation program thinks non-native riprap has a negative impact on visual resources, contractor may be able to top imported riprap with onsite stones

• How will road drainage work?

o Road drainage is generally addressed by Dtl. A-1 on page S3 of plans.

• How far west of the paleontology trail should the new culvert extend?

o Extend culvert ~4’ away from trail on uphill side of the trail o Though some rock incision will be necessary on the uphill side, the contractor can build up the trail to achieve the 12” cover over the new culvert

• Will an excavator be allowed on the paleo trail?

o Yes, though there shouldn’t be a need to take it any further down the trail than the location of the culvert.
