2.4.5 Requirements Common to All Contractor Provided Temporary Housing:

2.4.5.1 Implementation

The D-B Contractor is required to provide safe and acceptable-quality accommodations to GRSA residents who are displaced during the construction project.

When the D- Contractor has identified a temporary housing unit, they will schedule an inspection with the Owner’s Construction Management Representative (CMR). The Contractor and CMR will walk through the unit together, and the CMR will evaluate the acceptability of the unit based on the acceptability requirements listed below. The Contracting Officer (CO) or designated representative will make the final determination of whether a unit is acceptable, based on this report. The CO may waive certain criteria if it is in the best interest of the Government. The Contractor may not move displaced tenants into a housing unit prior to written approval of the CO. A separate inspection of a housing unit and a subsequent CO approval will be required each time the Contractor wishes to move a new tenant into a unit.

The D-B Contractor is responsible for maintaining the temporary housing units so that they continue to satisfy the acceptability criteria for the duration of the occupation. Written correction requests will be submitted to the CO, who will immediately notify the Contractor. Any correction must be completed in a reasonable time frame, as determined by the CO, based on the severity of the condition, the time needed to acquire materials and other considerations.

These same criteria, approval requirements and maintenance requirements apply to all temporary housing units, whether they are rental units (apartments, single-family homes, etc.), Contractor-owned facilities, located on or off GRSA property or other temporary housing arrangements.

The Contractor will be responsible for covering all costs associated with the temporary housing not included in the bulleted list below. Examples of costs the Contractor are responsible for include but are not limited to rent, water, wastewater and garbage collection.

2.6 Areas Available for Contractor Use

Figure 3: Map, Areas Allowed for Contractor Use

AECOM 22

Project Duration and Handover:

The map in Figure 3 represents NPS approved areas available for contractor use. The following are descriptions of each area represented numerically in the map.

1. RV area: This small RV site is located at the heart of the park’s residential, maintenance and administrative area. There are four RV pads, each measuring approximately 15’ wide by 40’ long, and each of them has access to water, sewer and power. Two of the spaces will be made available to the contractor free of charge. A third site will cost approximately $415 per month, and can be used for contractor housing, if desired. The fourth site will be reserved for park use. Any trailer used for housing is limited to 25’ in length, maximum.

There will be no charge for utilities. The site is surrounded by trees that must not be damaged by contractor activities; also, grading and excavation are prohibited. The site may be useful as a “local” staging area for smaller items or to locate a job or CMR trailer, due to its proximity to the project and the availability of utilities.

1. Old road to corral: This area is located on an old roadbed serving the corrals. The old roadbed itself is fairly level, but the terrain on either side of it is sloped and is covered with trees. Tree removal is not allowed in this contractor use area. The road would have to be re-graded for contractor use and topsoiled by the contractor at the end of the project. There is a drainage swale at the northern end of the road, where it joins the in-use road to the corrals. The contractor would be required to properly pass the drainage under the road if they desire through traffic. The approximate length of this road is 525 feet. The site has access to a 6-in water main that could be tapped to supply potable water. An underground electric line also runs adjacent to the site and could be used for temporary power. The park reserves the right to have the contractor remove temporary utility extensions, culverts, or other temporary improvements at the contractor’s expense after the project is finished. The site could be made useful as a staging area or for locating a job office or CMR trailer, but it would have to be serviced by a portable toilet due to the lack of wastewater service. There would be no fee for the use of this area.

2. Future road to additional housing: This area is just beyond the paved road serving Unit

45. The area is somewhat steep and is covered with trees. Tree removal is allowed along this alignment, but the development plan must be approved by the Contracting Officer prior to ground disturbance or tree removal. The area may have to be re-graded and topsoiled at the contractor’s expense after contractor use, at the park’s discretion. The approximate length of this road is 500 feet. The site has good access to a 6-in water main that could be tapped to supply potable water. An underground electric line also runs adjacent to the road and could be used for temporary power. The park reserves the right to have the contractor re-grade and topsoil the road, and/or to remove temp utility extensions at their own expense after the project is finished. The site could be made useful as a staging area or for locating a job office or CMR trailer. The site could also be used to accommodate one or more mobile housing units for temporary staff housing if a septic system meeting all applicable regulations is installed. The park would consider allowing the contractor to leave the site grading and utility improvements in place if they are beneficial to the park. There would be no fee for the use of this area.

3. No. 4 – Maintenance boneyard: A gravel road extending south of the park’s Maintenance facility leads to a storage “boneyard.” The park has agreed to provide an area measuring 60’ x 40’ for contractor use. The area is ready for use; grading or tree removal are not needed and in fact are not allowed. There is no electricity or water at this site. This area is appropriate for use as a staging area. It is not appropriate for use as a CMR trailer or for temporary housing. There would be no fee for the use of this area.
