1.4 – Examination of Sites

A. Bidders are encouraged to visit the site, compare the drawings and specifications with any work in place, and inform themselves of all conditions, including other work, if any, being performed. Failure to visit sites will in no way relieve the successful bidder from the necessity of furnishing any materials or performing any work that may be required to complete work in accordance with drawings and specifications, without additional cost to the Government.

B. Information regarding the sites of the work provided in drawings or specifications is believed to be reasonably correct, but the Government does not warrant either the completeness or accuracy of such information, and it is the responsibility of the contractor to verify all information independently and to make other examinations of the conditions to be encountered during construction.

C. The contractor acknowledges that he/she has investigated and satisfied himself/herself as to the conditions affecting the work, including, but not restricted to, those bearing upon transportation, disposal, handling and storage of materials, availability of labor, water, electric power, roads, and conditions of the ground, the character of equipment and facilities needed prior to and during prosecution of the work. The contractor further acknowledges that he/she is satisfied as to the character, quality, and quantity of surface and subsurface materials or obstacles to be encountered insofar as this information is reasonably ascertainable from as inspection of the sites. Any failure by the contractor to acquaint himself/herself with the available information will not relieve him/her from the responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work.

D. Where Contractor bases his bid upon quantities scaled from Contract Drawings, he/she shall verify true scale with the COR prior to submitting his/her bid when scale is not shown or unclear.

1.5 – Timing of Work

No restrictions are placed on weekend work.

The project must be completed within 240 days after Notice to Proceed.

Access to the lookout sites during bad road conditions is prohibited due to vehicles causing resource damage. Road conditions generally improve after winter in late March – early April to allow access to the lookout tower.

1.6 – Government – Furnished Facilities

The site is available to the Contractor for staging and storage during the project. The site offers very limited room for staging, storage, and stay. Any damage resulting from the Contractor’s use of the sites will be repaired or replaced at the Contractor’s expense at the direction of the Contracting Officer’s Representative

Water and sanitary facilities are not available. Cell phone capability is available on mountain top. All temporary services and use areas shall be completely removed and the use areas shall be restored upon completion of use. Transportation to and from the work site for the Contractor's personnel and materials will be provided at the Contractor's expense.

1.7 – Material Sources

All materials shall be obtained from commercial sources unless noted otherwise. Materials referred to by trade name, make, or catalog number shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality; substitutions of equal quality can be made by submitting a data sheet of the proposed substituted item to the Contracting Officer’s Representative, for approval.

1.8 – Clean up and Disposal – Non-Hazardous Waste

Waste accumulation in approved containers and material staging is allowed at the site. Disposal of waste material will be off National Forest Land and in compliance with local, state, and federal laws regarding disposal of construction waste. Before final acceptance of the project by the Government, the Contractor shall remove from Government land all waste materials and rubbish resulting from this work.

1.9 – Precautionary Measures

A. Protection of Work: The Contractor shall take precautions to protect all work during the construction period. The Contractor shall provide and maintain adequate protection during severe weather conditions to prevent damage to the work, materials, and equipment. The existing elements of the lookout tower shall remain undamaged and structurally sound during all phases of this contract. Any damage to the towers, including site access gate, or their functional elements resulting from the Contractor’s work at the sites shall be immediately repaired at no additional cost to the Government.

B. Safety: The Contractor is responsible for safeguarding employees, public, existing facilities, and forest resources from his/her operations. All operations shall comply with the requirements and restrictions of OSHA, the Arizona Occupational Safety and Health Code, and the Workman’s Compensation Board. The Contractor shall erect signs and barricades to make unguarded operations safe as required. Signs and barricades shall be maintained at night and on weekends. Precautions such as safely storing materials shall be practiced to prevent injury to others in the area.

C. Security: Security is not provided by the Government. The Contractor shall take all precautions deemed necessary to secure the worksites, improvements and equipment. This may include security fencing at the Contractor’s discretion. Lookout towers are often prone to vandalism. It is therefore recommended that the Contractor make every attempt to bar public access to the lookout tower during periods of construction inactivity such as nights and weekends.
