1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION / SUMMARY:

The work to be performed under this contract includes the restriping of approximately 38,180 linear feet of road centerline with 4” double yellow pavement marking on the Two Medicine Road from the intersection of MT-49 to the end of the road at the Two Medicine Lake parking area. The estimated quantity of 4” yellow striping is 76,360 total linear feet (38,180 LF road centerline times two 4” width lines). Apply one coat of paint. The existing pavement striping has been worn away and is nearly impossible to see, especially during wet or dark conditions. This creates hazardous driving conditions. Motorists are more likely to drift into the oncoming lane or attempt an unsafe pass if centerline road striping is not clearly visible.

There are several short passing zones on the Two Medicine Road. Ignore existing dashed striping and place 4” double yellow centerline striping for the entire length of the Two Medicine Road.

Ignore parking areas, Entrance Station lane markings, white fog lines, and specialty striping. A map of the Two Medicine Road is included in the attached files.

There is one Contract Line Item included in this contract – Restripe Two Medicine Road Centerline Striping. Provide a price for all preparatory work, mobilization, materials, supplies, facilities, traffic control, labor, supervision, and any other expenses needed to complete the work in full for the contract line item.

The Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with the recommendation of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) latest edition of the Manual Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards.

See Section 5.0 for specific period of performance requirements. Take seasonal road closures, visitation, NPS operations, and weather factors into account when creating a construction schedule. Day time, evening, and night work is permitted, assuming that weather and road conditions are suitable for pavement marking application.

Glacier National Park specific requirements for this service includes:

A. Road closures of 15 minutes or less will be permitted.

B. Minimize interference with Entrance Station operations.

C. Contractor shall be responsible for preventing tracking of the fresh paint by use of sufficient signs, flaggers, cones, etc.

D. All signs and warning devices shall be in accordance with MUTCD.

E. Immediately remove all hazardous rubbish. Do not bury waste inside the park.

F. Any animal-attracting materials must be stored in hard-sided containers or vehicles. The contractor is required to adhere to all rules of the Bear, Wildlife, and Sanitation
