1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: Alan Bible Visitor Center, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Boulder City, NV. The project area is the vicinity around the Visitor Center to include the US Hwy 93 directly in front of the Visitor Center.

B. The Work consists of:

1. The installation of a directional bore and cable conduit between an existing hand vault in the NDOT right of way of US Hwy 93 and an existing pull box on the north side of the Alan Bible Visitor Center that connects conduit entry into the building’s mechanical room. The Work will require multiple bore pits, approximately 600 feet of directional bore and conduit, and the installation of a new pull-box. The conduit will house fiber optic cable that connects at the NDOT vault and in the building’s mechanical room.

2. Access verification

a. Access verification through the existing conduit running between the identified

Telecom Pull Box as depicted on the Overall Site Plan 01-C101 of the construction drawings. Access verification is to verify adequate space is available to install a 12fiber Fiber Optic Cable in the conduit from the Telecom Pull Box to the Alan Bible Visitors Center. If adequate space is not available notify the Contracting Officers Representative (COR) and the Contracting Officer immediately.

b. Access verification from the telephone pole located on the Southeast side of the Colorado Street and Great Basin Highway to the Safety-First buildings IT Server Room. Access verification is to verify adequate space is available to install a 12fiber Fiber Optic Cable in the conduit from the referenced telephone pole to the IT Server Room. If adequate space is not available notify the Contracting Officers Representative (COR) and the Contracting Officer immediately.

3. Provide and install a 12fiber Single Mode Fiber Optic Cable from the NDOT Fiber Vault to the Alan Bible Visitors Center. All 12 of the strands are to be spliced into the NDOT identified dark fiber within the NDOT Fiber Vault. At the Alan Bible Visitors Center all 12 fibers are to be terminated.

4. Provide and install a 12fiber Single Mode Fiber Optic Cable from the Safety-First Building IT Server Room to the NDOT fiber vault at the intersection of Great Basin Highway and Colorado Street, approximately 680ft. All 12 strands of the new fiber cable are to be spliced with the strands of identified dark fiber within the Fiber Vault.

All 12 strands of fiber optic cable are to be terminated in the Safety-First buildings IT Server Room.

a. In addition to the placement of the fiber optic cable a single 4in conduit will be required from the base of the telephone pole and ran to the south for entry into the NDOT Fiber vault located at the intersection of Colorado Street and Great Basin Highway, this conduit run is approximately 60ft in length. Placement will require trenching within the Boulder City Street right of way area, any required Right of Way permit for excavation is the responsibility of the contractor.

5. Fiber Optic Cable Testing: Upon completion of the cable installation and termination the contractor shall conduct Tier 2 testing in accordance with TIA-568.3-D and the cable manufacturers recommendations. A test results report shall be provided to the COR upon completion.

6. Provide As-Built drawing depicting both the fiber strands that are terminated and the ones that were spliced into the dark fiber from the IT Server Room at the Safety- First Building to the Alan Bible Visitors Centers termination point.

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

1.3 WORK PHASES

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

1. Phase One - Mobilization: Installation of traffic safety and erosion controls.

6. Standby unit rates used in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then 1/2 of equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment not used and on job site for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work.
