GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 – GENERAL

1.1 PROJECT LOCATION

This project is located within the Longmire area of Mount Rainier National Park, the park’s primary operations center. Longmire includes administrative facilities, employee housing, a campground, water and wastewater treatment systems, and the historic Longmire Suspension Bridge. Longmire is situated approximately 12 road miles east of Ashford, Washington, and is accessed via State Route 706 and the Paradise Road. It is approximately 65 road miles from Tacoma, Washington. The project work area extends approximately 2,200 feet and is primarily located adjacent to paved roadways on both sides of the Nisqually River. Work areas include the Longmire operations area on the north side of the river and the roadway leading to the Community Building and Longmire Campground on the south side.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK

This project is essential for establishing fiber optic connectivity to NPS facilities within the park, specifically on the south side of the Nisqually River. The scope includes the installation of conduit, handholes, and pull tape. Fiber optic cable installation and termination will be performed internally in a subsequent phase.

The project comprises three distinct sections (refer to Appendix A for the project map):

A. Section 1: Contractor will install conduit and handholes between existing handholes near the EOC (L-216) and Water Lab (L-678) buildings:

1. The project commences at an existing gray plastic handhole located on the north side of the

EOC building.

2. New conduit will be trenched along the west side of the access road to a designated point, where trenchless installation under the roadway will be executed using horizontal directional boring or pneumatic piercing (“missile bore”). Bore pits should measure between 4-6 feet in length, 3-4 feet in width, and 2-4 feet in depth on either side of the roadway. Upon completion, conduit will be installed and each pit will be fitted with a handhole to facilitate cable pulling.

3. From the road crossing, new conduit will follow the east side of the access road, extending to the main Longmire road and continuing south along Longmire road to the Water Lab. A new handhole will be positioned adjacent to this building, alongside a short branch of conduit that stubs off at the building's exterior.

4. The distance between the existing handhole beside the EOC and the proposed handhole next to the Water Lab is approximately 535 linear feet.

5. Excavation difficulty for this section is considered moderate (rocky layers & cobble below topsoil).

B. Section 2: Contractor will install conduit and a handhole along a portion of the route between the Water Lab (L-678) and the Community Building (L-006):

1. Conduit will exit the handhole next to the Water Lab, circumvent the concrete bridge footing, and cross the Longmire Suspension Bridge using flexible conduit transitions at both

01 00 00 - 5 ends. This design ensures durability in response to bridge flexing and seismic activity.

2. On the south side of the bridge, the conduit will transition from the west to the east side

(using conduit sweeps at all 90-degree angles), allowing the conduit to run parallel to the south side of the access road, eliminating the need for an underground road crossing.

3. A handhole will be placed near the southeast end of the bridge, adjacent to the asphalt along the access road, to facilitate cable pulling.

4. Conduit will extend from the newly installed handhole at the southeast bridge side to an existing handhole located either beneath or beside the access road between Longmire Bridge and the Community Building (on the south side). Since this handhole cannot currently be located, identification and connection by the contractor will be required. Asphalt cuts may be necessary if the handhole has been paved over. If handhole replacement is needed, it is recommended that the contractor have a new handhole on hand in case replacement is required.

5. The position of the existing handhole is estimated to be between 200 and 600 linear feet from the bridge’s southern end. The total distance from the bridge’s south end to the handhole outside the Community Building is roughly 1275 linear feet.

6. Excavation difficulty is considered moderate on the north end of the bridge and high on the southern side due to rocky terrain.

C. Section 3: Contractor will install conduit and one handhole between the existing handhole outside the Community Building (L-006) and the intersection with the Water Treatment Plant road:

a. New conduit will connect the existing handhole on the west side of the Community

Building to a recently installed conduit terminating near the gate at the Water Treatment Plant road.

b. A new handhole will be installed at the location where the conduit must turn onto the Water Treatment Plant road. Extension of conduit from the new handhole may be necessary to connect to existing conduit to the Water Treatment Plant (2” Sch 40 PVC, up to 100 feet).

c. The total distance from the Community Building handhole to the new handhole location is approximately 400 linear feet.

D. This project is limited to the installation of conduit, handholes, and pull tape, and does not include the installation of cabling or electronic equipment.

E. Conduit Paths & Handhole/Vault Placement

1. Pathway & Containment: The Contractor shall ensure the use of detectable/locatable tracer wire and pull-tapes with linear length markers in all installed segments.

2. Subsurface Handholes/Vaults: The Contractor shall supply and install a total of five (5) handholes, and recommend keeping a 6th handhole on hand in case placement of an additional handhole is necessary.

3. See Section 27 05 43 Parts 2.4 and 2.5 for handhole and conduit specifications respectively. See Part 3.2 for excavation specifications.

F. Testing and Acceptance

1. Documentation: Deliverables shall include As-Built drawings (showing handhole/vault locations and conduit routes), and a final termination map.

2. Workmanship: All work shall be performed in a "neat and workmanlike manner" in compliance with NEC, BICSI, and local base telecommunications standards.

1.3 WORK RESTRICTIONS

A. Site Access:

1. Building Access: Contractor staff should not entail any special needs for building access. Per federal regulations, staff without sufficient physical security credentials shall require an escort by NPS staff within any non-public areas within buildings.

2. North Side of Project Site: When entering the park at the entrance booth, inform the employee that you are with a contractor working on a project in Longmire and they will grant access without a fee. The project site is accessible with no access restrictions.

3. South Side of Project Site: The Longmire Suspension Bridge has a maximum gross vehicle weight limit of 3 tons (6,000 pounds), as determined by the FHWA. Vehicles or equipment that exceed this limit are not permitted to cross the bridge at any time. To access the south side of the Nisqually River with heavier vehicles or equipment, use the Longmire back gate road. Reach this road by taking Skate Creek Road (FS Road

52) to about milepost 9.5, then turning onto FS Road 5230. When you arrive at the wye intersection marked by a "Gate Ahead" sign, turn left and follow the road to the park boundary gate, which requires a key for entry. Ensure the gate is always locked and never left open. Distance of the detour from one side of the bridge to the other side is approximately 22 miles.

4. A DGM-5X key will be signed out on a temporary basis to the contractor’s onsite project foreman by the Park Supply Technician or their designee, enabling access to the Longmire back road gate from the south side of the Nisqually River for project purposes. Coordination for obtaining the key will be managed by the COR and/or Project Inspector. The key is strictly intended for entry to the Longmire back road gate for construction activities described in this Statement of Work and must not be used for any other purpose.

B. Construction Time Period: Timing of work shall be coordinated with the Contracting Officer and follow the approved Contractor’s work schedule.

C. Work Hours: Work hours are from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm Monday through Friday. Weekend and holiday work will normally not be allowed. Special requests may be made through the Contracting Officer.

D. Staging and Storage of Materials: Confine storage of equipment and materials to the staging/lay-down/storage areas identified within the area designated by the Contracting Officer or as established at the preconstruction meeting. All staging and stockpiling areas shall be returned to pre-construction conditions following construction.

E. Vehicles & Equipment: Confine parking to areas designated for parking or staging of materials and equipment throughout the non-public areas of the project site.

1. No unattended motors/engines are permitted. No idling of motors or engines for extended periods of time is permitted.

3. Equipment must be free of any fluid leaks (fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, etc.) upon arrival to the work site and will be inspected at the beginning of each shift for leaks. Leaking equipment will be removed off site for necessary repairs before the commencement of

01 00 00 - 7 work.

F. Existing Utilities: Notify Contracting Officer of proposed locations and times for excavation.

1. Pursuant to the Federal Enclave Doctrine, Washington State laws concerning utility locates (RCW 19.122) do not apply on lands within exclusive federal jurisdiction, however OSHA and other applicable federal regulations and statutes still apply. It is imperative for the safety of all personnel involved that the need for utility locates be fully communicated ahead of time with both project and contracting staff, and requests fully signed off prior to any excavation taking place.

2. Utilities infrastructure within the boundaries of the Park is owned by a combination of Mount Rainier National Park and other utility companies (primarily Puget Sound Energy, Lewis County PUD, and CenturyLink). An internal park-level utilities locate request form MUST be completed in full and submitted through the COR for ANY AND ALL underground utilities. The Park will contact DigSafeWA OneCall (“811”) on the contractor’s behalf as needed for locates of contracted utilities.

3. Contractor shall be responsible for locating and preventing damage to known utilities. If damage occurs, repairs shall be made at no additional expense to the Government.

4. If damage occurs to an unknown utility, an equitable adjustment will be made for repairs in accordance with the Changes clause of the contract.

G. Existing Utility Interruptions: Do not interrupt utilities serving facilities occupied by Government or others unless permitted under the following conditions and then only after arranging to provide temporary utility services according to requirements indicated:

1. Notify Contracting Officer not less than five (5) business days in advance of proposed utility interruptions.

2. Do not proceed with utility interruptions without Contracting Officer’s written permission.

H. Preservation of Natural Features:

4. Before entering the park, all workers shall check vehicles, equipment, tools, boots, and backpacks for weed seeds, mud that could harbor weed seeds, and plant parts. All equipment shall be power washed and inspected before work begins to ensure it is free of non-native weeds and/or seeds. The park requires and will perform inspections to ensure non-transport of non-native species BEFORE equipment is off-loaded. Contact the COR at least (3) three days in advance of park entry to arrange for an inspection(s) at the loading dock or point of origin.

5. Re-use fill, rock, or topsoil from the project area, if possible. If not possible, or for utility bedding purposes, Contractor shall submit a list of proposed sources, end-use, and temporary storage requirements for imported material, 30 calendar days before delivery.

The sources of imported rock, sand, gravel, and soil shall be inspected for invasive non-native plants, weeds, and/or seeds. The material must not be stockpiled at the quarry for more than 1 week after washing. If material comes from older stockpiles, the quarry must be certified weed-free by the County Noxious Weed Coordinator, or a qualified weed inspector designated by NPS. For details on obtaining pit inspections and topsoil specifications, contact Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and provide at least 14 days’ notice that an inspection is needed. Imported material shall be free of non-native weeds and/or seeds. Imported material shall be shipped directly from the source

01 00 00 - 8 to the park without intermediary storage or staging. Shipping vessels shall be covered, if necessary, to prevent spillage or blowing off their contents while in transit.

7. Provide temporary barriers to protect existing trees and plants and root zones.

8. Do not remove, injure, or destroy trees or other plants without prior approval. Consult with Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and remove agreed-on roots and branches that interfere with construction.

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

10. Carefully supervise excavating, grading, filling, and other construction operations near trees to prevent damage. Where utility excavation or trenching intersects root systems of larger trees, cut roots greater than 3 inches in diameter cleanly with a sharp tool such as a saw (i.e. do not tear with the excavator).

11. Care shall be taken not to disturb any wildlife species (reptiles, migratory birds, raptors, or bats) found nesting, hibernating, estivating, or otherwise living in, or immediately nearby, worksites.

12. Remove all materials, including trash and food wastes, from project site daily to reduce the attraction of murrelet predators, such as crows and jays.

13. All disturbed ground shall be reclaimed using appropriate best management practices, which may include planting or seeding with native vegetation, or, in the case of small treatment areas, allowing native vegetation to reclaim the area naturally. Contractor shall consult with Contracting Officer’s Representative to determine the best methods for restoration.

I. Archaeological Resources: Archaeological resources are physical pieces of evidence of past human activity, including evidence of the effects of that activity on the environment.

Archaeological resources are found above and below the ground and underwater.

1. No archaeologically sensitive areas have been identified within the proposed project area. However, archaeological monitoring will be required during all ground-disturbing activity unless deemed otherwise by the NPS. Contractor shall provide a minimum of three weeks’ notice before beginning trenching or excavation so that an archaeologist can be available.

2. If unknown archaeological resources are discovered during construction, the contractor shall stop work or relocate work to a non-sensitive area until resources can be properly recorded and evaluated and contact the Contracting Officer immediately. Measures shall be taken to avoid further resource impacts or to mitigate their loss or disturbance.

J. Driveways and Entrances: Keep driveways, areas specifically designated by the Contracting Officer, and entrances serving premises clear and available to Government, Government employees, user groups, and emergency vehicles always. Do not use these areas for parking or storage of materials.
