Description of Requirement:

Project Scope It is the intent of the Government to award a firm fixed price order for the base and possibly Option 1001 at the time of award. Due to the unknown nature of Option 1002 the Government reserves the right to exercise this option as a time and materials modification if the work is needed. The schedule for Option 1002 represents the estimated quantities and minimum labor categories required to perform the work. Contractors may add additional labor categories if needed.

Option 1002:

Quoter’s shall submit prices for item categories in Option 1002. Each price entered in the Schedule of Items, for an individual line item, constitutes the quoter’s proposed maximum total price for fully burdened rates for completion of one unit of measure. Option 1002 will be exercised as a not too exceed modification if needed. Other direct costs and items not originally priced in the Schedule of Items will be negotiated and set at the time Option 1002 is exercised. A Statement of Work (SOW) will be provided to the Contractor prior to the negotiation of the work with the Contractor prior to exercising Option 1002.

The work includes, but is not limited to, the following major items of work as shown on the plans and specified in the attached Forest Service Supplemental Specifications.

The following descriptions and general specifications are provided as an outline of major work items, and shall not be construed as an inclusive or complete listing of all items of work under this contract:

The intent of this contract is to:

• Remove the Corner Bay administrative facilities, structures, and debris, and associated above and below ground utilities.

• Remove debris and excess items at the nearby Corner Bay sort yard and marine access facility.

• Restore the Corner Bay administrative site to conditions reasonably similar to pre-developed conditions, including re-contouring and re-planting the site.

• Develop a site for a new Forest Service administrative camp.

• Excavate and remediate legacy contaminated soil, if discovered during performance of the work.

The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, supplies, permits, testing, excavation, backfill, grading, and incidentals necessary to perform all work required to complete the project in accordance with the provisions of the contract.

Project Location The project is located on Chichagof Island adjacent to Corner Bay on the south shore of Tenakee Inlet. See attached zip file for maps.

GPS coordinates: 57°44'05.7"N 135°08'55.5"W. The legal description is R63E, T48S, Sec. 1, Copper River Meridian (Sitka C-4 quadrangle).
