c. The Contractor shall furnish and install a new gravel staging area (if needed) and access road from behind the Cow Palace to the location of the Temporary Bridge at the lake shoreline. The new road will be restored following construction, and the salvaged aggregate will be placed on the existing main road adjacent to the cow place. No prep work required.

j. All downed trees at the site will be removed by the Owner before this Contract starts. Any additional tree removal for the access road will be the Contractor’s responsibility and will need to be approved by the COR. 6 trees will be remaining, the contractor will need to place them along the shore line in 2 groups of 3. This will occur between the steam shed and the temporary bridge. The butt ends will be on land when completed.
