General Information

1.0 Purpose and Location

Purpose:

This is a non-personal services contract for road maintenance services at Spencer Whistle Stop.

Performance for this requirement includes road-side vegetation removal and road blading of gravel roads at the Spencer Whistle Stop.

The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

Background:

The Spencer Whistle Stop Road system is an isolated road system that is only accessible via the Alaska Railroad. The site has seen historic use as a gravel pit and shield rock source but is currently used as a recreation area for the public as well as outfitting and guiding operations.

1.1 Outline of Services: The Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, management, tools, materials, equipment, facilities, transportation, and other items necessary to provide the services outlined below and described in this Performance Work Statement (PWS).

1.2 Project Location: The project area is located along the Alaska Railroad approximately 9 miles south of the Portage Whistle Stop, adjacent to the Seward highway at Portage, Alaska.

1.3 Period of Performance:

a. Base and Option Items: 15 May 2022 through 15 October 2022 with a no work period between 16 June 2022 and 06 September 2022.

Contractor Requirements

2.0 Technical Requirements / Tasks

The Contractor shall coordinate activities with the CO and/or COR.

The Contractor shall provide 7 working days’ notice to the CO and COR prior to starting performance.

All equipment will need to be transported to the site via railroad. The Contractor is responsible for arranging transportation and paying fees associated with transportation to and from the site on the Alaska Railroad. Equipment and personnel can be loaded at the Portage Train Depot, located at milepost 80 of the Seward Highway.

Road blading will require scarification and processing of existing roadway materials to recover aggregate from shoulders and ditch lines. Optional work includes Spot Surfacing of road surface in locations designated by the CO and construction of several small portions of new road. Spot Surfacing will be done using material from an aggregate stockpile located approximately in the middle of the Spencer Whistle Stop Road system. New construction will require clearing and grubbing, excavation and embankment and aggregate surfacing from the local stockpile. See the attached Linear Grading Typical Section and FP-14 Section 212 for details on new construction requirements. Exact locations of new road construction will be marked on the ground by the CO. See attached site map for locations of different sections of road requiring maintenance and general locations of new construction.
