3. Any request to work outside of normal working days and hours shall be submitted to the CO and COR at least 3 business days before the requested event for authorization.

B. Park Entry:

1. The contractor shall furnish a list of personnel with phone contact information.

Vehicles associated with the contractor shall be waived entrance fee upon entering in a marked company vehicle or by providing the names of employees entering in personal vehicles.

D. Emergency Medical and Accident Reporting:

1. All accidents and incidents shall be reported to the CO and COR.

a. The Contractor or subcontractor shall contact Park Dispatch for any medical emergency or traffic accident occurring within the Park.

Emergency number: Dial 911 as needed.

LAKE 306435 Page 8 of 57

Park Dispatch: 702-293-8932 EMERGENCY Park Dispatch is called so that the entrance station will be prepared should any emergency vehicles (e.g. ambulance) need to enter the Park and so that any available Emergency Medical Services personnel in the Park might respond until such time as the ambulance arrives.

b. The Contractor or subcontractor is required to report ANY personal injury and / or property damage incident occurring within the park. This report must be made to a Law Enforcement Ranger at the first available opportunity before leaving the park:

Park Dispatch: 702-293-8998 NON-EMERGENCY

E. Environmental Compliance Requirements:

1. The Contractor and all employees working on the Project will be required to take “Desert Tortoise Awareness Training” which will be provided by the Government at no cost to the Contractor. This training will take approximately 30 minutes or less.

2. The Contractor’s employees shall never handle a desert tortoise.

3. The Contractor and employees shall immediately report the presence of any desert tortoise to the COR.

4. Herbicides shall not be used in or around the Project site.

5. The environmental compliance contact for this project is Toshi Yoshida. For questions or additional information, contact Toshi at: 702-293-8849.

F. Equipment Washing:

1. Equipment washing is required to preclude the introduction and spread of non-native species into the Park. Therefore, all equipment shall be cleaned outside of the Park before entering the Park. Equipment leaving the park for any reason must be re-washed before returning to the job site. Equipment that is moved from the job site, but remains within the original developed area, need not be re-washed prior to returning to the job site. It is also known that there are areas inside the Park that have non-native plants and weed species infestation. Therefore, before equipment can be moved from one developed area to another, it must be washed at the location identified on the Site Plan (see attached site plan and mileage table) to ensure weeds are not spread from one developed area to another.

2. The Contractor shall clean all equipment prior to the equipment entering Lake Mead National Recreation Area. It is recommended that cleaning be accomplished by hot water, pressure washing, using water only. All equipment surfaces shall be cleaned, with special emphasis given to the undercarriage. This includes, but is not limited to:

wheel wells, bumpers, radiator grills, springs, shock absorbers, wire harnesses, skid plates, oil pans, axles, frame ledges, buckets, tracks, belly pans, etc. Cleaning shall also include all dirt and debris inside the cab, or operator area. A Shop-Vac or commercial car wash vacuum system may be used for operator compartments, provided the method used effectively removes all visible debris. Equipment cleaning is

LAKE 306435 Page 9 of 57 for the purpose of removing any seed and soil accumulations to prevent the potential spread of non-native plant and weed species from outside the park to locations inside the park. Cleaning shall be performed in a manner that will reasonably remove all visible soil, plant and other foreign material. All equipment that requires washing shall be inspected by government personnel, or contractors/partners assigned to this duty, to ensure compliance.

3. Equipment that requires washing is generally defined as track or rubber-tired machinery intended for use primarily off-road. Examples include backhoes, loaders, earthmovers, graders, rollers, bulldozers, water trucks, etc; or four wheel drive or passenger vehicles that are driven in off road areas. Equipment may also be stationary, such as a material screening plant, conex storage containers, or a mobile office (mobile offices may be cleaned in the same manner as operator compartments as outlined in paragraph 2). The equipment is generally under the direct control of the contractor or sub-contractors, is likely to remain on the construction site for an extended period of time, and may contain adhered soil and seed from other project sites.

4. Equipment/Vehicles that do not require washing are defined as those normally used for highway driving only, and travel primarily on paved surfaces and well maintained service roads and parking areas (this includes approved staging areas). Examples include semi-tractor trailers, dump trucks, concrete trucks, pickup trucks, fuel trucks, service trucks, etc. These delivery and passenger vehicles are generally not under the direct control of the contractor, have no earth-moving function, and do not remain on the project site. These vehicles have a low probability of carrying adhered soil and seed from other projects. However, every vehicle and piece of equipment is subject to rejection from entering the park if there are obvious signs (covered in mud, plant material adhered to it, etc.) that it could be transporting non-native species into the Park.

G. Post Equipment Washing Inspections:

1. All equipment subject to inspection will be inspected by government, or other authorized personnel prior to leaving the paved surface or designated washing area identified on the Site Plan. Equipment determined to be free of soil or mud based on visual examination by government personnel will be cleared to enter the project area, or proceed to other areas of the park as appropriate. The Contractor shall arrange for needed inspections by contacting the NPS inspection office no less than 5 working days prior to the inspection. Such contact shall provide sufficient time to accommodate scheduling and travel to the site. Equipment not passing initial inspection must be rewashed outside the park at no additional expense to the government.

2. A list of government Inspectors for this project will be provided by:
