Requirements

PART 1: GENERAL

1.01 SUMMARY:

A. Description of Work: Furnishing labor, equipment, supplies, and materials, to design and reconstruct the Dean S access road, providing access to a new day use parking area, ten dispersed camping sites, double vault toilet, an RV Camp Host pad and a walking trail system.

Per the SOW, the new access road alignment will generally follow the existing access road to minimize earthwork and site disturbance. The access road will have a length of approximately 4,600 feet and provide access to the new camping sites, parking area, and cul-de-sac turn-around. Two (2) cattleguards will be incorporated into the design. The Preliminary Master Site plan identifies five (5) culvert crossings and one low water crossing. The day use parking area will include a ten (10) to fifteen (15) space parking lot on the north side of the road. The section will match the existing road and slopes and will not exceed two (2) percent in any direction for parking stalls and pedestrian circulation. The design of the parking area will not include retaining walls or other structural grading solutions. All pedestrian circulation will be accommodated by the grading and compacted surface, no additional hardscape will be included. Grading will accommodate access to the vault toilet. The RV Camp Host pad will include integration with the access road, grading, improved surfacing, power, sewer dump, electrical hook up, parking area, picnic table, and fire ring with grate. The sewer dump will include design and permitting of an on-site septic system per the SOW. The system is assumed to be a traditional septic tank effluent pump or gravity system (STEP or STEG) with a standard drain field, it does not include secondary or level II treatment. Ten dispersed campsites with vehicle access will be provided at the approximate locations specified in the SOW. Four dispersed sites will be designed to accommodate a camper turn-around or pull through. All sites will be designed with a steel picnic table, fire pit with cooking grate, and improved gravel surface. The trail system will be designed as shown on the Preliminary Master Site Plan. This design will include a typical section a width of the 36-inches, and a native tread surface. There will also be a new primary overhead powerline that will be installed by TRECO.

B. Location: Work under this Contract is located at Dean S Reservoir Recreation Site in Custer County, Montana. The work locations are shown on the drawings.
