This work schedule shall then be updated each month, as required, and submitted to the COR at least seven (7) days before the effective date of that schedule. If no schedule change is requested, no schedule update will be required. This schedule is extremely important as it controls the times at which the quality assurance inspections are performed, ensuring that the said inspections are done only after the required service has been completed.

1.7.4. Recreation Season and Visitation: The contractor shall recognize that during the designated recreation season (1 MAY – 30 SEP), certain areas of the project may experience increased visitation compared to others. This heightened activity will necessitate additional efforts to maintain cleanliness and ensure compliance with the standards outlined in the contract.

1.7.4.1.1. Transient Visitation: The Contractor shall be prepared for sanitation requirements that may fluctuate due to a large transient and unhoused population in Mendocino County. The Contractor is responsible for dynamically adjusting its cleaning schedules and resources to meet these non-standard cleaning demands, especially in high-traffic locations.

(C) When mutually agreed, to forgo the work and reduce payment due to the contractor accordingly for the work not performed.

1.8.2. Alternative Schedule During High Water Years: During periods of high Lake water levels at Lake Mendocino, services may be reduced or restricted due to limited access. Certain parking areas may experience flooding, and the road to the Bushay area may become inaccessible by vehicle. The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will collaborate with the contractor to adjust the service schedule as necessary under these conditions.

High water conditions typically occur between February and August, coinciding with our camping season. This alternative schedule permits the delay of camping services until access to the campground is restored. This schedule will apply exclusively to Inlet Road, Bushay Recreation Area, and Miti Campground. “Peak season” dates are adjusted for these areas.

As directed by the Park Manager, the COR will inform the contractor if the alternative schedule is to be implemented. The alternative schedule will replace the normal schedule for the remainder of the option year. The COR and Park Manager will notify the contractor no later than May 1 regarding the schedule to be used. The contractor shall not receive payment for services not performed.
