1.3 CONTRACTOR USE OF SITE

A. General: Contractor’s use of the site for construction operations during the construction period will be limited by parking restrictions noted herein. Contractor's use of the site is also limited by the Government's right to perform work or to retain other contractors on portions of Project. The Contractor shall coordinate his/her work with other contractors working within the project area.

The Contractor shall allow other contractors hired by the Government access and use of the project area insofar as this access does not directly impede the Contractor’s immediate plan of operations.

B. Storage of Materials: The Contractor will be allowed to use the Park’s Liscomb Pit as a staging and materials storage area. Liscomb Pit is located on Fire Road 200 off Route 233 near Eagle Lake. Confine storage of materials in Liscomb Pit to locations mutually acceptable to the Contractor and the Contracting Officer. Access to the Eagle Lake Carriage Road loop from Liscomb Pit shall be via the temporary construction access road constructed by the Contractor.

C. Preservation of Natural Features:

1. Prevent damage to natural surroundings. Restore damaged areas, repairing or replacing damaged trees and plants, at no additional expense to the Government.

2. Provide temporary barriers as necessary to protect existing trees, plants, and root zones.

3. Do not remove, prune, injure, or destroy trees or other plants without prior approval.

Consult with Contracting Officer and remove agreed-on roots and branches that interfere with construction.

4. Do not fasten ropes, cables, or guys to existing trees.

5. Carefully supervise excavating, grading, filling, and other construction operations near trees to prevent damage.

6. Do not operate machinery off of existing road surfaces without approval of the contracting officer and without first placing timbers to protect ground cover from compaction and disturbance.

D. Driveways and Entrances: Keep driveways and entrances serving premises clear and available to Government, Government's employees, and emergency vehicles at all times. Do not use these areas for parking or storage of materials.

ACAD-161676 01 11 00 - 3

If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then ½ of the equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, the established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment that is not used and on the jobsite for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided that the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work. Equipment that is still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

9. Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented and itemized separately.
