B. The work covered by this project was originally developed as three separate projects.

Accordingly, there are three separate plan sets that were each developed at different times. Due to funding considerations these three projects are combined as one construction project. While the plan sets are provided separately, the project specifications have been combined into a single document to eliminate duplications. The contractor shall become familiar with all three plan sets and coordinate construction activities for all work simultaneously.

C. The Work includes the following:

Plant Set Part 1

The Work includes rehabilitating and improving two existing overlooks at the crater rim. This work will include constructing new pavements to reduce erosion, correcting site deficiencies, and adding new architectural features to enhance aesthetics and improve visitor experience.

Plan Set Part 2

The Work includes construction of a new accessible trail and overlook. The new trail will extend from the west end of the existing Merriam Point Overlook parking lot south, approximately 140 feet, to a new accessible overlook near the crater rim. This work will include the completion of existing parking lot and sidewalk modifications, excavation and grading for the proposed trail and overlook improvements, installation of a new asphalt surfaced accessible trail and overlook and installation of fencing and visitor amenities in accordance with the project plans. Finally, a new bronze tactile map will be placed near the overlook.

Plan Set Part 3

The work includes a new precast concrete vault toilet near the overlook entrance. The vault toilet will include architectural enhancements corresponding to the park’s architectural standards.

1.2 GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED ITEMS

A. The Government may furnish products and materials for incorporation into the work.

CRLA - 229427 01 11 40 - 2

e. Commercial Vehicle Safety Inspections: The Contractor, employees, contractors, and subcontractors shall fully cooperate regarding safety inspections of commercial vehicles within the Park. Commercial vehicle safety inspections are conducted unannounced for employee and visitor safety.

CRLA - 229427 01 11 40 - 3

1.2 RESOURCE PROTECTION

A. General: The park is committed to protecting natural and cultural resources found within the park and adjacent lands. The Contractor must comply with the following rules and conditions:

1. Invasive Species: The introduction of non-native invasive species can threaten rare and endangered species or can create new populations of non-native species not traditionally found in the park.

All Contractor located fill material (gravel, sand, aggregate, rock etc.) for this project shall be free of weeds as listed on Crater Lake’s “Watch List” in Table 1 attached to the end of this document. Materials obtained from outside sources shall be newly mined from locations in the source pit that have the least potential to harbor weed seed or propagules. If the source pit has not been recently mined, the over burden will be removed to a minimum depth of 3 feet and only the newly mined material will be removed and used for this project. Material will not be sourced from stockpiles of materials.

Fill material used in projects on NPS lands must be inspected for presence of invasive plants. Certified weed free materials though existing state and national certification processes are generally not applicable because the Crater Lake list includes a number of species that are not on most state lists. However, sites with weed-free certifications from our certifying agencies will likely be acceptable, and sourcing from these sites is encouraged.

An onsite inspection must be conducted at the site of origin for the fill material by the Contractor, NPS personnel, or an inspector from a certifying agency. Therefore, one of the following options for inspection will be chosen by the NPS for the project:

Option 1 – The Contractor is responsible for onsite inspection of fill materials for invasive weeds according to the State’s noxious weed list and/or a specific weed list provided by the NPS. Contractor-provided expertise and methods to establish weed-free status must be appropriate for weeds of concern in the local area. Inspections shall be in accordance with the following North American Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA) standards as follows:

• The pit owner/operator meets with Inspector at the gravel/borrow pit site for first inspection.

• The entire border shall be walked or driven.

• All storage areas, gravel/sand piles shall also be inspected and meet the standards.

• Area around all equipment, crushers, and working areas must be inspected to meet the standards.

CRLA - 229427 01 11 40 - 4

• Areas shall be inspected annually with a minimum of one inspection in the growing season.

• An inspector will follow all safety protocols set forth by the owner/operator while on site.

• An inspector may not inspect a material site of which said inspector has ownership or financial interest.

• Responsible party will control prohibited weeds within the entire area of property, this includes stockpiles regardless of origin, parking area and driving area.

Option 2 – The NPS is responsible for approval of fill material sources based on inspection of proposed sources by a NPS invasive species coordinator or other qualified specialist (botanist, range specialist, etc.) to determine weed-free status.

Materials found to contain prohibited plants will be rejected. The contractor shall then either a) find an alternate source or b) modify means and methods to collect material from a different part of the pit, c) process the material to remove weeds, d) propose other methods that are acceptable to the NPS.

The contractor is required to thoroughly clean all vehicles, equipment, tools, supplies, and materials prior to entering the park. The park requires, and will perform, inspections to ensure non-transport of non-native species PRIOR to arriving at the park entrance.

Contact the Contracting Officer or their representative at least (3) three days in advance of park entry to arrange for inspection(s) at the loading dock or point of origin. There shall be absolutely no mud, dirt, soil, organic debris, sand, gravel, or plant part on the equipment or vehicle being inspected.

Vehicles and equipment found with mud, dirt, soil, organic debris, sand, gravel, or plant parts shall be rejected, and shall not be allowed to enter the park. No additional compensation shall be made to the contractor for rejected vehicles.

Haul trucks will have their loads covered during transport.

2. Endangered Species: Endangered species are protected by Federal law. Obey all park regulations. Drivers must obey all traffic laws and keep an eye out for animals on or alongside road. Contact park headquarters at immediately if an animal is hit or injured or will not move off of the road.

Whitebark Pine: Protect whitebark pine from all impacts. The Contractor shall coordinate with the Park Botanist to ensure whitebark pine within the project area and any staging areas are identified and coordoned off (including rooting zones). NPS will identify the areas to for exclusion, and the contractor shall mark the areas with marking ribbon or temporary barrier fence. Keep equipment and personnel out of marked areas.

Do not remove any whitebark pine (including seedlings), prune branches, or cause disturbance within the rooting zone.

CRLA - 229427 01 11 40 - 5

3. Archaeological Resources: Archaeological resources are physical evidences of past human activity, including evidences of the effects of that activity on the environment.

Archaeological resources are found above and below ground and underwater. The Park will provide an archeological monitor when deemed necessary. If the monitor discovers resources, the contractor shall stop work or relocate work to a non-sensitive area and contact the contracting officer immediately. The contractor shall avoid any areas of discovery until such a time until continuation of work in that area is approved by the contracting officer. Archaeological resources typically found in the park or at the project site(s) will be discussed further at the preconstruction meeting.

4. Soundscape / Noise: The contractor shall minimize noise levels at the project site to protect the soundscape of the park. Perform noise-producing work in less sensitive hours of the day or week or as directed by the contracting officer.
