9) Equipment staging locations

10) Site hazard assessment

11) Weather limitations

12) Emergency contact information

Government review does not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for safe operations.

8. Performance Periods

Task Anticipated Performance Window

Bulkhead removal October 1, 2026 – January 30, 2027

Block Transportation for Testing January 1, 2027 – April 15, 2027

The Government will provide a minimum of five (5) business days advance notice before each mobilization.

The Contractor shall acknowledge availability within two (2) business days.

All work will be performed Monday – Friday between the operating hours of 07:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. (MT). Federal holidays excluded.

9. Place of Performance

Mount Elbert Power Plant

5583 Highway 82

Twin Lakes, Colorado 81251

Additional work location:

Mount Elbert Forebay Inlet-Outlet Structure (Latitude 39°06'08.4"N, Longitude 106°21'12.8"W).

10. Operating Constraints

Offerors should consider:

a. Mountain roads

b. Narrow roadway access

c. Steep grades

d. Sharp turning radii

e. Snow and ice

f. Limited staging areas

g. High elevation

h. Wind conditions

Lake County Road 24 from Colorado Highway 82 up to the inlet-outlet structure is narrow

(estimated 25 feet), steep in areas (up to 10% grade), and has several sharp turns (estimated inside radius 50’). The county road is on a south facing slope, but areas are shaded and may retain ice and snow at certain times of the year.

The bulkhead segments are large and planer, 10’ 11” tall by 10’ 3” wide. Wind moving a suspended load is a primary concern. For the protection of personnel and property, either party may deem the wind speed is too high for safe operation. (See Figure 2 for elevation and path)

The Government is not aware of bridge load restrictions affecting site access. The Contractor remains responsible for determining compliance with all transportation restrictions applicable to the selected equipment.

11. Safety Requirements

The Contractor shall comply with:

a. OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC

b. Applicable State of Colorado requirements

c. Crane manufacturer's operating requirements

d. Applicable ASME B30 standards

e. All contract safety requirements

Operations shall immediately cease whenever conditions become unsafe.

12. Weather Limitations

Lifting operations shall not occur when:

a. Wind exceeds the crane manufacturer's allowable operating limits.

b. Lightning is present.

c. Visibility prevents safe operation.

d. Snow or ice creates unsafe crane setup conditions.

e. Any condition exists that would create an unacceptable safety risk.

Weather delays shall not be considered contractor nonperformance.

13. Operator Qualifications

a. Crane operators shall possess all licenses and certifications required by Federal and State law.

b. Signal persons and riggers shall meet applicable OSHA qualification requirements.

c. Documentation shall be provided upon Government request.

14. Insurance

Prior to the first mobilization, the Contractor shall provide to the COR and Contracting Officer

(CO) with a Certificate of Liability Insurance, in accordance with FAR 28.310, meeting the contract requirements for work performed on a Government installation.

15. Damage Responsibility

a. The Contractor shall exercise reasonable care in handling Government property.

b. The Contractor shall be responsible for damage resulting from negligent lifting, transportation, rigging, or handling performed by Contractor personnel.

c. Any damage shall immediately be reported to the COR.
