About this file
This document is a comprehensive set of construction specifications for the Lehman Caves Lighting, Electrical, and Telecommunications Upgrades project at Great Basin National Park. The project involves replacing the existing lighting system and electrical infrastructure within Lehman Cave, which features approximately 1/2 mile of walking paths with trail and feature lighting. The work includes installing new marine or cave-quality LED lighting with durable, non-corrosive stainless-steel components, replacing existing wiring, conduits, panelboards, transformers, outlets, and switches, and providing safety phones and convenience power.
The project will be constructed under a single prime contract from October 15, 2025 to April 30, 2026, with the cave closed to the public during this period. The National Park Service will handle some demolition work inside the cave, while the contractor will be responsible for observing and tracing existing pathways. Key requirements include using materials tested for cave environments, maintaining strict environmental protections, and ensuring minimal impact to the cave's delicate ecosystem. The specifications detail extensive technical requirements for electrical systems, communications infrastructure, pathway installation, and equipment identification, with a strong emphasis on preservation and minimal disruption of the cave's natural environment.

1. If 6 month duration is not feasible, documentation of the prior testing of the material in a cave environment may be submitted in lieu of testing, reviewed by the Contracting Officer, and if found suitable, approved. If not approved, testing in Lehman Cave is required.
2. Intent is to study material, not only in an inert state but also when functioning, such as lights.
D. Project will be constructed under a single prime contract, with select scope items completed by the
Government, Great Basin National Park (GRBA) park staff.
1.3 CONTRACTOR USE OF SITE
A. General: Contractor shall have full use of the approved designated project areas for construction operations during the construction period. Contractor’s use of the site is limited only by the
Government's right to perform work or to retain other contractors on portions of Project. Limit use of premises to areas within the Contract limits indicated on drawings. Do not disturb portions of Project site beyond areas in which the Work is indicated. The boundaries will be field verified by the Contractor for Contracting Officer approval. There will be no visitor access within the approved designated fenced in project areas.
1. All emergency egress points are to remain unobstructed at all times during construction.
2. The project areas shall remain accessible to the Government at all times.
3. The Contractor shall coordinate construction areas and the limits of construction for
Contracting Officer approval prior to the start of construction.
4. Minimize footprint of construction area and impact on visitor experience to the extent possible.
B. General: Contractor shall have limited use of site for construction operations. Limit use of premises to areas within the Contract limits indicated on drawings. Do not disturb portions of Project site beyond areas in which the Work is indicated.
1. Limits: Confine constructions operations to the contract limits within the cave, corridor from cave to parking lot, and the parking lot’s designated access and laydown areas.

In the event that construction activities inadvertently discover a previously unidentified archeological site, component; the contractors work will cease in the immediate area and notify the Contracting Officer.
Any willful destruction of the archeological site, component can result in the prosecution of individuals under the Archeological Resource Protection Act of 1979 (16 U.S.C. 470), and other statutes that protect the Park’s cultural resources.

2. Any uncovered archeological resources must be protected. If archaeological resources are encountered during work, contractor shall stop work at that location immediately and notify the Contracting Officer. Any artifacts recovered are property of Great Basin
National Park.
L. Archeological Monitoring provided by NPS: An Archeological Monitor will observe all ground-disturbing site work, including but not limited to, construction of temporary facilities and all areas of cut and hardscape surface removals, at all archeologically sensitive areas, from a safe location mutually agreed on by Contractor and Monitor. As new ground is broken, Monitor will examine excavated materials, using construction layout centerline and perimeter staking as a reference point to record locations of findings.

6. Standby unit rates used in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then 1/2 of equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.
7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

Overhead………………15% Profit…………..………10%
2. Total aggregate limit of markup (OH&P) for Contractor and Subcontractors on modification work shall not exceed 25%. The NPS will not be responsible for allocation of percentages between contractor and subcontractors at any tier.
3. If Contractors form a partnership, partnership may only receive home office overhead and profit in same amount as an individual Contractor (refer to paragraph 1.3,E,1 above). It is the responsibility of the partners to decide on division of revenue.
4. Combined Increases and Decreases: On proposals involving both increases and decreases in the Contract Price, overhead and profit mark-ups are required on net increases and deducted on net decreases.
5. At no time can profit be calculated on Overhead or itself, it must be calculated on direct costs of work only.
