6Replace Signal Mountain Public Boat Launch Courtesy Dock Grand Teton National Park Scope of Work

A. Introduction

1. Grand Teton National Park needs a replacement for the courtesy dock at the Signal Mountain Public Boat Launch. The existing courtesy dock in place is in poor condition and requires frequent repair. The dock is removed from the lake every fall where it stays on the boat ramp for the winter until the lake melts in May. Because the dock does not have wheels, the dock is dragged approximately 250’ on its polyethylene floats every time it is put in and out of winter storage.

B. Scope

1. Base Bid:

i. Manufacture, deliver, and install replacement courtesy dock.

ii. Install new lakeside anchors of sufficient size and in correct position for new dock, accounting for size and weight of dock and the fluctuation of lake levels. Attach new lakeside anchors to dock with new contractor supplied cable. The existing land anchors will be reused with new contractor supplied cable.

iii. Contractor shall remove existing boat dock, lakeside anchors, and cable from boat ramp area and legally dispose of them in a landfill acceptable to authorities having jurisdiction. The existing dock is approximately 80’x8’ with an approximately 40’x4’gangway. See attached photos of existing dock. NPS staff will remove existing dock, lakeside anchors, and cable from lake and place on boat ramp.

2. Optional Reductive Bid Item:

i. If it is determined the existing lakeside anchors and cable are of sufficient size, in adequate condition, and in the correct position (or can be moved to the correct position), the existing lakeside anchors and cable will be reused. The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring the anchors are in the correct position or shall move the anchors to the correct position if necessary. This determination will be made based on the contractor’s proposal at time of award.

a. The existing lakeside anchors were surveyed for their condition in 2018 by NPS Submerged Resources. The report is attached to the SOW.

3. Optional Additive Bid Item:

i. If NPS staff is unable to remove existing dock, lakeside anchors, and cable from the lake as described in B.1.iii., the contractor shall be responsible for this task. This determination will be made at time of award.

4. Along with the proposal, the contractor shall state whether they will reuse existing lakeside anchors or install new lakeside anchors. If new anchors are installed, contractor shall state their plan for installing new anchors and removing existing anchors. If existing anchors are used, contractor shall state their plan for moving existing anchors to the correct position (if needed).

C. New Courtesy Dock Requirements

D. Specification of New Dock

1. Below are specifications based on the specifications of docks currently in use on Jackson Lake. Contractor shall submit specifications with quote/proposal. Where the contractor specifications differ from the park’s specifications, the contractor shall state the reason for the difference and how the proposed specifications meet the intent of the park’s specifications.

Proposed/quoted dock must meet or exceed the purpose of each specification below. Again, these specifications are based on docks currently being successfully used.

1. Period of Performance:

i. Award Date through 05/22/2025

ii. Preference for timing of installation of new dock below in Section G.1.d.

iii. Signal Mountain Boat Ramp may be closed for up to one day for installation.

2. Place of Performance:

i. Signal Mountain Public Boat Launch Grand Teton National Park Moran, WY 83013 43.838626, -110.616693 F. Attachments

1. Signal Mountain Boat Ramp Courtesy Dock Anchor Conditions Report

2. Photos of existing courtesy dock

3. Price Schedule, to be filled and attached with quote G. Project Management and Coordination

1. Items required with quote:

i. Technical specifications and drawings/pictures of proposed items.

ii. Proposed Installation Plan

a. Plan will include means and methods of installation, necessary boat ramp and parking area closures, etc.

iii. Proposed Installation Schedule

a. First preference for installation of new dock is after the lake has melted but before the dock has been put back into the lake (end of April – May 9th) OR after the dock has been removed from the lake but before winter (October 16th – mid-November). These approximate dates are based on the Signal Mountain Lodge operating season. Note that the spring melt off date for Jackson Lake varies depending on the year and ice sometimes persists on the lake through mid-May.

b. Second preference for installation of new dock is before May 22nd OR after September 30th. These approximate dates are based on the Signal Mountain Marina operating season.

c. Boat ramp and dock receive heavy usage during the summer. Installation during the busy summer months between May 22nd and September 30th is not possible without significant impact to park visitors and concession operations. Every effort should be made to install new dock outside of these dates.

d. If installation occurs in the fall after the regular operating season and the dock has been placed in its winter storage position, the contractor will install the new dock to its summer position to demonstrate use and installation to park staff. Park staff will then move the dock to its winter storage position.

I. Park Specific Requirements

1. USE OF PREMISES
