SCOPE OF WORK

EXHIBIT DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES

WADE AND CURTIS CABIN EXHIBITS

8810 County Road 34, Maybell, CO 81640

1. PROJECT BACKGROUND

Dinosaur National Monument (DINO) is located on the southeast flank of the Uinta Mountains on the border between Colorado and Utah at the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers.

Its 211,000 acres encompass six distinct ecological zones and nearly one billion years of geologic time. Given the scale of time along with the complexity and remoteness of much of Dinosaur National Monument, it is difficult for most visitors to understand and appreciate many of the significant resources and stories of the monument on their own.

Gates of Lodore is a lightly developed area on the northern end of the monument. It is located approximately 80 miles from Craig, CO, the closest community with basic services It is the launch point for visitors who are rafting the Canyon of Lodore on the Green River. Visitors who raft or boat on the river are either on private, non-commercial trips or organized commercial trips operated by one the monument’s concessioners. At Gates of Lodore, there is a ranger station, campground, and boat launch point. Near the boat launch is the historic Wade and Curtis cabin which was used for many years as volunteer housing. The monument recently secured funding to restore/rehabilitate the small cabin as a visitor facility. This project will design and construct new exhibits to go into the rehabilitated cabin and outdoor exhibits near the boat ramp. These exhibits will provide an improved visitor experience to the area and introduce visitors to the general themes/resources that visitors will encounter on their river trips. This includes brief introduction to the river and canyon geology, ecology, and human history. It will also provide key safety messages for visitors launching on river trips.

The Wade and Curtis Cabin is listed as a historic structure on the National Register of Historic Places. A cabin rehabilitation project, which will remove non historic elements and modify the entrance to allow for accessibility, is planned for 2023, and will need to be coordinated with the new exhibits. Exhibits will need to be designed and installed in a way to not impact the historic fabric of the structure. Electricity for lighting and a couple of outlets is the only planned utility service that will be available in the restored cabin. Heating and cooling will not be available. Any materials or adhesives used will need to withstand heat and cold typical of northwest Colorado (-20 F in winter and 100 F in summer). The facility will not be staffed and visitors will be unmonitored when they are in the facility. Materials used in any exhibit panels, models, or replicas will need to be vandalism resistant. Gates of Lodore receives on average 10,000 – 13,000 visitors per year.

Federal laws include the Architectural Barriers Act, Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act as amended, and the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act. The contractor shall be aware of and pursue principles of universal design throughout all phases of the design build process. Universally designed exhibits and environments can be accessed, understood, utilized and appreciated to the greatest extent possible by all users regardless of ability. Universal designs reflect not only accommodations to select groups, but approaches that are broadly inclusive and integrated into a larger whole to the benefit of all users. Principles of Universal design are detailed in Appendix C of Attachment 4, Programmatic Accessibility Guidelines for National Park Service Interpretive Media Accessibility requirements for visitors with specific disabilities shall be addressed within the designed and built exhibits. If the site or criteria of the project do not address accessibility as defined in the attachments, pose challenges to accessibility, a full description of required corrective actions shall be provided to the COR of the accessibility solutions. See Attachment 4, Programmatic Accessibility Guidelines for National Park Service Interpretive Media for requirements addressed under specific disabilities.

2.8 Design Parameters

The contractor shall plan and design exhibits for the Wade and Curtis Cabin in accordance with the project attachments, in close consultation with the COR and project subject matter experts, and the following:

2.8.1 Space Allocation

The contractor shall comprehensively evaluate the Wade and Curtis Cabin’s floorplan and pursue space alternatives with the goals of improving visitor flow, improving the interpretive experience, and improving the spatial and functional relationship between the exhibits.

The planning and design under this contract covers approximately 385 square feet of the Wade and Curtis Cabin’s interior space and approximately 200 square feet of the outdoor area including building signage. The distribution of the exhibit area and visitor services is not limited to its current configuration.

Specifically, the contractor shall plan and design the following areas in accordance with Attachment 13: DINO Wade and Curtis Cabin Space Allocation Plan and as follows:

· Primary Exhibit Area (approximately 385 sq. ft.)

· Outdoor Exhibit Area (approximately 200 sq. ft.)

2.8.2 Themes

The contractor shall work with the park to refine the following themes described below, into exhibit themes which shall inform the exhibit design:

1. Dinosaur National Monument’s scenic river canyons, world-class geologic resources, and biological diversity provide opportunities for people to encounter uncrowded wild landscapes and environments, understand and appreciate the complexity of ecosystems, contemplate their place in nature, and renew their sense of well-being.

2. The Green and Yampa Rivers serve as living laboratories in the Colorado River system to demonstrate the difference between controlled and natural-flowing rivers and their effects on ecosystems and their inhabitants. These rivers illustrate the past, present, and future struggles over how to manage life-sustaining water in the arid West.

3. For thousands of years, humans found both homes and challenges in the rugged and remote landscape of Dinosaur National Monument. Abundant cultural resources and rich histories allow reflection upon the kinship between ancient and modern cultures; the exploration, continuous occupation and use of this area; and the intertwined relationships of people and their environments in their quest for survival, discovery, and adventure.

4. In the 1950s, Echo Park’s wild beauty inspired and galvanized leaders in the conservation movement to defeat a proposal to build dams within Dinosaur National Monument. Their efforts not only protected the sanctity of the national park idea and marked a first step in the eventual passage of the Wilderness Act, but also continue to frame discussion over the use and stewardship of public lands.

2.8.3 Use Rights

The contractor shall acquire use rights and production quality copies of all third-party images and other intellectual property (IP) required to produce the graphic layouts in the exhibit as specified in Attachment 1, Exhibit Planning, Design, and Fabrication Specifications, Section 17. The contractor shall budget 10% of the planning and design budget for acquisition of use rights and production quality images and other IP used in the exhibits.

This will be a not-to-exceed (NTE) contract line item (CLIN) for the acquisition of images and usage rights, not including labor. All costs associated with this work will be reimbursed on an actual cost basis. Back up information will be required with invoices requesting payment for this work.

2.8.4 Production Budget
