PROJECT QUESTIONS FROM SITE VISIT:

1. Question: Where is access to the Truttman Barn debris?

Answer: Access for equipment is on the left side of the standing barn/workshop. Tree limbs along the access should be trimmed by the contractor as needed for equipment access. The contractor should coordinate with NPS before trimming tree limbs. Any grass needing mowing should be mowed by the contractor. The contractor should coordinate with NPS before mowing grass to be sure it is outside of nesting season. A concrete pad extending from the barn/workshop should be marked off by the contractor to assure no traffic travels over it.

2. Question: Is the partially collapsed tin roof that is partially attached to the standing barn/workshop also be removed as part of this project?

Answer: The partially collapsed tin roof addition on the standing structure will be removed as part of this project. Timbers still attached to the standing building should be removed if possible or cut flush with the structure’s walls. Materials removed are to be hauled off by the contractor.

3. Question: Will tree limbs and fallen trees be removed as part of this project?

Answer: At the Truttman barn site, limbs and tree debris on the ground should be hauled off by the contractor. Tree limbs and debris can be left on site at the Seroity cabin site.

Any trees on or leaning over Seroity cabin should be safely downed by the contractor and cut into manageable lengths and left on site. The contractor should coordinate with NPS before any trees are removed.

4. Question: Will the access area in front of Seroity cabin be mowed?

Answer: The contractor is responsible for mowing and brush removal if it is needed for access. The contractor should coordinate with NPS before any mowing or brush removal to be sure it is outside of nesting season.

Questions from emails:

5. Just to clarify the scope of work indicates that are that Truttman barn location we are to pick up the debris that has fallen. There is a barn and surrounding structures that are standing. Do those standing structures remain or are they to be demolished?

6. If the standing structures are to remain, can we gain access to the back of the property with heavy equipment and trucking in order to remove the fallen debris in the back of the property?

Answer: Access will be to the left of the shop barn. The contractor will need to trim some tree limbs to move equipment under the trees.

7. On the Seroity cabin property, do we can access with heavy equipment and trucking to get next to the cabin? Answer:

Answer: Access will be by Randall Trial which is a gravel road off Highway 1.

8. We are a little concerned with any potential unidentified hazardous material, such as asbestos roofing, lead paint, etc.

ANSWER: There are shingles on both structures, possible asbestos in the mastic under the tiles in the cabin, and possible lead-based paint. The contractor is responsible for testing materials and proper disposal of the materials if hazardous materials are found.
