SECTION 01 11 00 - SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. This Section includes the following:

1. Work Covered by the Contract Documents.

2. Work Sequence

3. Government Furnished Materials

4. Contractor Use of Site

5. Government’s Occupancy Requirements

6. Work Restrictions

7. Special Construction Requirements

1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: Yosemite National Park. The project is located outside of the National Park Service (NPS) boundary for Yosemite National Park at the El Portal Wastewater Treatment Plant. The project is located approximately twenty-seven (27) miles east of the city of Mariposa via CA Highway 140.

B. The work to be performed under this Contract shall consist of furnishing tools, equipment, materials, supplies, and manufactured articles, and furnishing all labor, transportation, and services, including fuel, power, water, and essential communications, and performing all work or other operations required for the fulfillment of the Contract in strict accordance with the Contract Documents. The work shall be complete, and all work, materials, and services not expressly indicated or called for in the Contract Documents that may be necessary for the complete and proper construction of the work in good faith shall be provided by the Contractor as though original so indicated, at no increase in cost to the Government.

C. The work to be performed under this Contract includes rehabilitation of two digesters at the El Portal Wastewater Treatment Plant. The primary digester holds approximately 229,000 gallons and the secondary digester holds 102,000 gallons. Cleaning of the digesters has not been performed in recent years. Significant accumulations of solids consisting of sludge, sand, and other debris normally found in wastewater digesters should be expected. Cleaning shall include screening of pumped digester sludge (capable of removing particles ¼-inch and larger), a dewatering process to remove water from the screened sludge resulting in a minimum of 20% biosolids by weight, and transferred to a designated staging area (the fluid separated during the dewatering process will be deposited into a plant drain). Once the digesters are emptied, any solids on the walls, ceilings, floors and equipment must be water blasted until clean as shown on the plans and specified herein. The Contractor shall haul off all solids in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Do not disturb portions of the project site beyond areas in which the work is indicated. The Contractor shall restore all disturbed surfaces, features, drainage patterns, roadside ditches, trails, etc. to preconstruction conditions.

B. Storage of Materials: Confine storage of materials to preapproved areas identified as staging areas and other adjacent salvage storage areas as directed by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall return all storage areas to the same condition that they found them at the start of construction.

C. Preservation of Natural Features (General): The following information is provided as a work summary only. For complete specifications for preservation of natural features see Specification 01 35 50, “Archeological, Natural, Cultural & Physical Resources Protection.”

1. All equipment shall be power washed and inspected before entering the Park to ensure it is free of non-native weeds and/or seeds.

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

D. Driveways and Entrances: Keep driveways, access roads and entrances serving premises clear and available to Government at all times. Do not use these areas for parking or storage of materials.

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

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

b) Height restrictions: 12 feet 10 inches

c) Seasons: Open all year (chains may be required in winter).

YOSE – 185130 01 11 00 - 5

c) Seasons: Open all year (chains may be required in winter).

d) Delays or closures may occur due to rockslides and related issues. Closures are more frequent in winter. Closures may be long-term.

e) The Contractor shall assume that Big Oak Flat Road may experience full closures of up to two months in length, at any time. The Contractor shall not make any claims for traffic delays or closures of Big Oak Flat Road.

4. Access is also available from Wawona Road, a continuation of SR-41 from the Oakhurst/Fresno, CA area.

1.3 GENERAL SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES

A. Project Submittal Matrix: Establish dates for making necessary submittals, include time required for review, ordering, manufacturing, fabrication, and delivery when establishing dates. Include additional time required for making corrections or revisions to submittals noted by Contracting Officer and additional time for handling and reviewing submittals required by those corrections.

1. Coordinate submittal schedule with list of subcontracts, the schedule of values, and the Contractor’s construction schedule.

C. Processing Time: Allow time for submittal review, including time for resubmittals, as follows. Time for review shall commence on the Government’s receipt of submittal. No extension of the Contract Time will be authorized because of failure to transmit submittals enough in advance of the work to permit processing, including resubmittals.

1. Initial Review: Allow 15 days for initial review of each submittal. Allow additional time if coordination with subsequent submittals is required.

2. Resubmittal Review: Allow 15 days for review of each resubmittal.

D. Electronic Submittals: Identify and incorporate information in each electronic submittal file as follows:

1. CM-16E Transmittal Form: All material submittals shall be transmitted using NPS form CM-16E, which will be provided by the Contracting Officer.

E. Identification: Submittal number or other unique identifier, including revision identifier.

1. Submittal number shall use a sequential number (e.g., .001). Resubmittals shall include an alphabetic suffix after another decimal point (e.g., .001.A).

F. Resubmittals: Make resubmittals using the same process used with the initial submittal.

1. Note date and content of previous submittal.
