Statement of Work 4/30/2024

Stone/Truck Hauling for Monument Trail Big Cypress National Preserve

1. Background:

a. Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) is a United States National Preserve in South

Florida, about 45 miles west of Miami on the Atlantic coastal plain. The 720,000-acre Big Cypress (along with Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas) are the first national preserve in the United States National Park System and established on October 11, 1974.

b. Big Cypress manages water flow coming out of Central Florida through Lake Okeechobee over the land as sheet flow through what is now as a River of Grass. During periods of high-water volume, Big Cypress canals diverts an extremely high volume of water to the city of Everglades City. Traditionally, manmade structure known as ditch plugs, act to slow the volume of water down to prevent flooding in Everglades City and has become a major part in reducing the Service’s Liability risk in the local community.

2. Objectives:

a. Monument Trail (Off Road Vehicle Use) is within Big Cypress National Preserve.

Supply, Haul and Deliver 5,000 Tons of DOT limerock base. Monument trail is 10.01 miles in length. Visitor use of swamp buggies and off-road vehicles, along with seasonal flooding of the Preserve, causes substantial wear and tear of the extensive trail system, each year. As a result, stone is required to fill large holes and ruts throughout the trail.

The contractor must provide sufficient trucks/drivers to deliver stone/aggregate in 20-yard dump trucks during the four-week delivery period.

3. Place of Performance:

a. Big Cypress National Preserve

Monument Trail – 14.3 miles E of:

33100 Tamiami Trail E.

Ochopee, FL 34141 (25° 51.801'N, 81° 5.998'W)

4. Period of Performance:

The period of performance is estimated to be 31 calendar days. Advance coordination with NPS COR required. Required delivery terms: within 4-weeks from date of first delivery.

5. Scope:

Haul specific material from stone quarry to exact location 14.3 miles East of BICY headquarters. Google Earth maps will be attached of dump site and GPS locations. The contractor will provide load tickets for each truck delivery to National Park Service personnel or load ticket box provided by NPS. Hauling will continue until all aggregate tonnage is delivered. Contractor shall have enough trucks on hand to deliver the 5,000 tons within the period of performance. Breakdowns of trucks should be replaced immediately with another to meet 31-day delivery schedule. Each dump truck should have at a minimum, 18–20-yard capacity. An alternate dump site has been designated and will be utilized in the event the primary dump site reaches capacity or if deemed necessary by park staff. Alternate dump site map, along with GPS location will be attached.

6. Tasks: Contractor shall complete the following tasks and requirements:

• Workdays: 8-hours daily, Monday-Friday excluding holidays, beginning at 7:30 a.m.
