3. The drawings which accompany this project are meant for reference and bidding purposes only. These drawings are not the original construction drawings, and although the requirements of these drawings are binding, the plans and elevations shown on them are not meant to be relied upon for construction.

1.3 – Big Springs Fire Lookout Cab

A. General:

Big Springs Lookout is located on the north rim of the Grand Canyon on the Kaibab National Forest. This 100’ Aermotor tower was constructed in 1934 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The dimension of the tower cabin is approximately 7’x 7’.

Big Springs Fire Lookout Tower

B. The Big Springs Fire Lookout Tower is listed on the National Historic Lookout Register. As such, the existing appearance and construction of the lookout shall be maintained and preserved. The purpose of this project is to restore exterior wall finish, preserve the existing windows and completely renovate the interior of the lookout cabin.

Because this is a listed Historic structure, all materials, except as explicitly stated otherwise in these specifications, should be “replaced-in-kind” in terms of material dimensions and placement. The outward appearance of all details must match that which currently exists on the structure, except where explicitly stated otherwise in these specifications. (The type of material may differ from original construction).

As a result, the Contractor is responsible for any necessary site investigations, detailed and accurate material lists, and all field measurements necessary in order to replace-in-kind all features, including lumber and reconstruct-in-kind all finished details. Exceptions to this replace-in-kind requirement are listed in these specifications.

Attention to detail and accurate field measurements of the existing materials are the responsibility of the Contractor and will be critical for the proper renovation of the lookout cabin’s exterior appearance, which includes windows and exterior wall finish. Exceptions to the replace-in-kind requirements for the lookout cabin are listed in these specifications.

C. The drawings which accompany this project are meant for reference and bidding purposes only. These drawings are not the original construction drawings, and although the requirements of these drawings are binding, the plans and elevations shown on them are not meant to be relied upon for construction.

It is anticipated that the Contractor will field measure existing items and may field fabricate the replacement items on-site to the greatest extent possible in order to ensure accuracy and minimize fabrication errors.
