1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: This project is located on Shuttle Bus Road Grand Canyon Village, Grand Canyon National

Park, AZ.

B. The Work consists of:

1. The proposed approach is to design and construct a shuttle bus maintenance facility that places all functions in one building to include administration, maintenance of both battery electric and alternative fuel (LNG) buses, and storage. Administration areas would have offices for staff and dispatch; a training space for drivers; restrooms and showers. Maintenance areas would have 4 vehicle work bays with lifts; a wash bay;

parts storage; office space for lead mechanic; and a room with lockers for mechanics. The maintenance area would accommodate alternative fuel types including battery electric buses (BEBs) and longer buses.

In addition to the admin/maintenance building, bus washing would be provided in a separate building. The near 3-acre site would accommodate bus parking for up to 42 buses with charging systems, and a separate parking for up to 60 personally owned vehicles (POVs) for bus drivers and admin staff; vehicular circulation to promote safety and accommodate efficiencies in bus cleaning and end of day operations; a fence around the compound, and access to the adjacent CNG fueling facility. Once complete, the existing facility shall be removed, and the site rehabilitated.

2. The scope of this project consists of the design and preparation of the plans, specifications, and estimates

(PS&E) for construction, acquiring government furnished permits, and supplemental services. Project is designed to comply with a Silver Certification Level according to the United States Green Building

Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED™) Rating System, as specified in Section 01 81 13 "Sustainable Design Requirements," however, will not obtain certification.

C. Project will be constructed under a single prime contract.

1.3 WORK PHASES

A. The Work shall be conducted in two phases in the following order, with each phase substantially complete before beginning next phase:

GRCA 250440 - Division 1 Specifications pg. 3

1. Phase One: Design Phase: Work of this phase shall be complete within 180 calendar days after Notice to

Proceed.

2. Phase Two: Construction: The construction shall begin with a Construction Notice to Proceed upon acceptance of final design documents and shall be substantially complete and ready for occupancy at time of Substantial Completion 550 calendar days from Notice to Proceed.

3. Phase 3: Construction (Option): Work of this phase shall be complete within 183 calendar days after award of the option.

1.4 WORK UNDER OTHER CONTRACTS

A. General: Cooperate with separate contractors so work on those contracts may be carried out smoothly, without interfering with or delaying work under this Contract. Coordinate Work of this Contract with work performed under separate contracts.

1.5 CONTRACTOR USE OF SITE

A. General: Contractor shall have full use of the site for construction operations during the construction period.

Contractor's use of the site is limited only by the Government's right to perform work or to retain other contractors on portions of Project.

B. Storage of Materials: Confine storage of materials to the accepted limit of disturbance within the construction area.

C. Parking: Confine parking to within the construction boundary.

D. Stockpiling: Confine stockpiling to within the project boundary

E. Preservation of Natural Features:

1. Prevent damage to natural surroundings. Restore damaged areas, repairing or replacing damaged trees and plants, at no additional expense to the Government.

2. Provide temporary barriers to protect existing trees and plants and root zones.

3. Do not remove, injure, or destroy trees or other plants without prior approval. Consult with Contracting

Officer and remove agreed-on roots and branches that interfere with construction.

4. Do not fasten ropes, cables, or guys to existing trees.

5. Carefully supervise excavating, grading, filling, and other construction operations near trees to prevent damage.

F. Driveways and Entrances: Keep driveways, Shuttle Bus Road, Maintenance and other NPS properties, and the

LNG bus fueling facility and entrances serving premises clear and available to Government employees, concessionaires, and emergency vehicles at all times. Do not use for parking or storage of materials.

1. Schedule deliveries to minimize use of driveways and entrances.

2. Schedule deliveries to minimize space and time requirements for storage of materials and equipment on-site.

G. Construction Camp: Establishment of a camp within park will not be permitted.

H. Hauling Restrictions: Comply with legal load restrictions in hauling of materials. Load restrictions on park roads are identical to state load restrictions with such additional regulations as may be imposed by the Park

Superintendent. Information regarding rules and regulations for vehicular traffic on park roads may be obtained from the Office of the Park Superintendent. A special permit will not relieve Contractor of liability for damage which may result from moving of equipment.

GRCA 250440 - Division 1 Specifications pg. 4

I. Bridge Restrictions: No notable weight/length restrictions. Attention should be given to the layout of the Center

Road/Shuttle Bus Road intersection.
