PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Section includes the following:

1. Work Covered by Contract Documents

2. General Requirements

3. Attachments

1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. All field work is located in the Polebridge Ranger Station Area, located in Glacier National Park’s northwest corner, approximately 1.0 miles from Polebridge, Montana.

B. Work generally consists of construction of a new public water system that includes a new infiltration gallery, new water storage tank, and new water main or service lines to service area buildings. Four housing units and two administrative buildings will be connected to the new potable water service.

A new programmable logic controller, pump control panel, pump protection system, and tank monitoring system will be installed. The chlorination treatment system will remain unchanged. Work also includes the installation of fiber optic lines to five buildings. Refer to the attached Civil Plans.

C. Refer to 01 27 00 Definition of Contract Line Items for a breakdown of Contract Line Items and how bid items are to be split out.

D. All work will be completed under a single prime contract.

1.3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

A. Wildlife Protection

1. Refer to Section 01 35 05 Environmental Protection and Special Controls.

B. Natural Resource Protection

1. Refer to Section 01 35 05 Environmental Protection and Special Controls for additional requirements.

a. Imported gravel, rip rap, rock, straw, and other natural materials must be certified weed-free and from a Park-approved source.

b. Vehicles and equipment shall be cleaned prior to entering the Park.

C. Archeological and Cultural Resource Protection

1. Refer to Section 01 35 13.22 Archeological Protection.

D. Visitor Management

1. Incorporate visitor management and traffic control precautions and procedures into the

Safety and Accident Prevention Plan.

a. The project area interacts with areas used by both visitors and NPS.

b. Visitors have access to the Ranger Station loop area, B#1842 Vault Toilet, the Inside

North Fork Road, and the Bowman Lake Road. The majority of traffic that enters the Park at the Polebridge Ranger Station turns north to visit Bowman Lake or Kintla Lake; traffic turning south towards Logging Creek is light. Expect to see moderate visitor vehicle and bicycle traffic on all roads. Visitation typically tails off in early October and is light in the late fall and winter months. The gate beyond the Ranger Station loop typically closes at the first notable snowfall and remains closed until late April, or whenever the roads are free of snow and dried out.

c. Approximately eight NPS employees live and work in the Polebridge housing and maintenance areas. Approximately seven other NPS employees (stationed at Kintla, Bowman, or Logging) use the housing and maintenance areas regularly. All but two employees are seasonal employees and will depart between mid-September to mid- October.

d. Take great caution while operating equipment to prevent hazards to visitors and

NPS.

2. The Contractor is responsible for jobsite safety and security. The Contractor shall secure the jobsite to prevent any potential hazards to visitors and NPS staff at all times.

3. Minimize interference with NPS operations, visitors, and traffic near the project area.

Coordinate with NPS.

3. Utility Marking

a. The Contractor shall notify NPS of any ground disturbing work at least 10 business days in advance. Call Montana 811 at least five business days in advance of anticipated ground disturbance. The Contractor shall not proceed with any ground-disturbing work until explicit permission is granted by the COR after all NPS and outside utilities have been marked.

b. If ground disturbance is imminent in only a portion of the project area, the Contractor shall provide NPS with a map of the exact locations where utility markings are needed.

c. The Contractor shall ensure that all utilities are properly marked for the duration of ground disturbing work.

d. The Contractor shall verify the location of underground utilities prior to excavation work. Some utilities may only be locatable by potholing.

e. All existing utilities shall be protected in place by the Contractor; accidental damage or disruptions shall be remedied immediately at no cost to NPS.

4. Water System Testing and Winterization

a. Water service connections and main line installation will occur while the Polebridge area buildings are in “winter status.”
