DEMO AD PARKING LOT #6 – CANA

1. PARK INTRODUCTION

Canaveral National Seashore is comprised of 58,000 acres. Three quarters of that is within Mosquito Lagoon which is a part of the Indian River Lagoon system. Canaveral means "place of cane," and is one of the oldest recorded geographical names in North America. Merritt Island is thought to have been named by Pedro Marratt, a surveyor who charted the island in the early 1800's. But humans left their imprint here long before European explorers ventured ashore. First Natives, attracted by the fertile estuaries and temperate climate, harvested oysters/clams and discarded the shells in heaps that archeologist’s study today in the national seashore such as the mounds at Seminole Rest, Turtle Mound, and Castle Windy.

2. PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project is to remove Parking Lot #6 in the Apollo District of the Canaveral National Seashore. The project includes asphalt removal, scraping the sub-base material down to leave 3 inches for stabilization, and then replanting the upland area with native plants of similar species to the surrounding area. The parking area along the shore has been eroding and undermined the parking lot but this project does not include shoreline stabilization. Shoreline stabilization from the Mean High-Water Line (MHWL) to the water’s edge of Mosquito Lagoon (lowland area) is not part of the project.

Offerors are encouraged to propose process improvements and industry best practices in their proposals.

3. REQUIRED SERVICES/TASKS

The Contractor shall provide all labor, tools, equipment, materials, and supervision required to perform the following tasks:

Complete the removal of the approximately 11,000 SF of asphalt pavement from the surface of the parking lot. With the asphalt layer removed, leave the clean sub-base material for planting and soil stabilization. The removal shall include the whole of the parking lot as well as both the north and south access aprons. The main road shall be left with a typical edge appearance, as if the parking lot was never there. All removed materials shall be disposed of in accordance with an approved Debris Disposal Plan. Contractor shall install silt fence around the perimeter of the parking lot along the shoreline and sides of the entry road. Once project is complete, remove and dispose.

Install native plants as specified below. See Attachment C Planting Plan for diagram.
