1.2 WORK REQUIRED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Work includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the following:

1. Existing toilet buildings will be removed from the following Lookouts:

a. Red Rock

b. Mount Hough

c. Smith Peak

d. Dixie Mountain

e. Mills Peak

f. Mills Peak Parking Area Restroom

g. Thompson Peak

2. New toilet buildings will be installed at the following Lookouts:

a. Red Rock

b. Mount Hough

c. Smith Peak

d. Dixie Mountain

e. Mills Peak

f. Mills Peak Parking Area Restroom

g. Thompson Peak

h. Pike Country

i. Argentine

3. Provide new wood stairs at Dixie Mountain.

4. Concrete landings for toilet facilities without stairs shall be an Add Option to the Bid.

Base Bid shall be to provide a level and graded area the same size as the proposed concrete landing of natural material sloped away from the restroom.

1.3 SUMMARY OF WORK

A. The existing restrooms will be demolished it their entirety. Where the existing wood siding is in good condition, salvaged and turn over to the Government.

B. There will be two approaches to the design of the exterior of the restrooms. For the historic restrooms the contractor will rebuild the restrooms to match the existing restroom design as much as possible. The existing size, shape, roof line, and material will be incorporated into the new design to the greatest extent possible. Any modifications to the existing size and shape of the restroom to accommodate the waste system will be designed to respect the existing aesthetics and view shed.

Each historical restroom will have the following characteristics:

1. Wood framed construction

2. Wood swinging door

3. Wood batten paneling, either vertical or horizontal

SUMMARY OF WORK

01 11 00 - 2

4. Synthetic tile shingled roof

5. Roof slope to match existing roof slope as close as possible.

D. The second approach will be to provide an accessible prefabricated restroom at Pike County. The prefabricated restroom must meet the following requirements:

1. Made in the USA

2. Fully prefabricated and sectional

3. Assembles in one day with two people

4. Heavy duty, 4-season use

5. Withstands high snow and wind loads
