GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 – GENERAL

ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: The park has 7 comfort stations, located in two campgrounds, which were constructed in the early 1960’s.

PART 4 - EXECUTION

4.1 DEMOLITION/REMOVAL OF EXISTING BUILDINGS

The demolition and removal of the existing comfort stations will need to be done prior to preparation and installation of the new ADA/ABA accessible comfort stations. Both building sites will have to be leveled, prepared, and utility rough-in complete prior to delivery and installation being accomplished. Center the new facilities over the existing location of the replaced comfort stations.

The existing comfort station buildings have been tested and are confirmed to both have asbestos in some of the building components. The asbestos assessment survey is provided with the other solicitation documents. It is the contractor’s responsibility to remove the asbestos prior to demolition of each building. Asbestos removal and disposal must be accomplished by a licensed Asbestos Abatement contractor and conducted in accordance with state and federal regulations.

Perform demolition in such manner as to eliminate hazards to persons and property; to minimize interference with use of adjacent areas, utilities and structures or interruption of use of such utilities; and to provide passage to and from such adjacent areas of structures.

Provide safeguards, including warning signs, barricades, temporary fences, warning lights, and other similar items that are required for protection of all personnel during demolition and removal operations.

New comfort stations will be connected to all existing utility lines (water, sewer, & electrical). Removal of old utility lines, installation of new lines, and connection to existing will be preformed by the contractor.

Replace the old water line to the existing shut off valve. Shut off valve location details can be found on plan set THRO2021-01.

When removing or connecting sewer lines ensure that the lines are flushed and no sewage is spilled. Contractor is to take all necessary precautions to prevent leaks/spillage and is directly responsible for any clean-up and removal of any spillage.

All electrical service to both comfort station sites is buried. Contractor is responsible for coordinating all electrical disconnect and connection with the local power companies and park maintenance staff.

Putting fill in place around the comfort stations will have to be approved borrow source. Ensure grade is matching existing grade and will not cause any undo drainage issue. Compaction will be needed to ensure that ground is stabilized to prevent runoff. Some links to help contractor with borrow/soil selection. The state of ND DOT maintains a list of "approved" sources for fill materials (see links below). There is some contact information on the second page of the pdf form.

http://www.history.nd.gov/hp/PDFinfo/GeneralSHPOBORROWFORM.pdf http://www.dot.nd.gov/dotnet2/view/certificatesofapproval.aspx Completely demolish and remove existing building(s), foundations, including all appurtenances related or connected thereto, as required for installation of new utility service lines.

Park personnel will be responsible to remove trees around the project sights that will potentially impede demolition of old and installation of new comfort stations. The contractor will be required to remove the stumps and fill the holes with the required borrow during the demolition phase of the project. Removed stumps will be disposed of outside of the park.

Upon completion of demolition work, all debris must be removed and project sites must in a clean condition that is satisfactory to the COR. All debris, including utilities, wood, brick, concrete, stone, metals, and structural associated materials shall become property of Contractor and shall be disposed of by them daily, off the site at approved site or stored in a dumpster on site to assist in visitor safety. There are no areas in the Park for storage of debris or trash. Contractor shall dispose and recycle debris in compliance with applicable federal, state or local permits, rules and/or regulations.

4.2 PREPARATION

A. General: Prior to delivery and installation of the comfort stations in the spring, the contractor will ensure the building pad is prepared to receive the building. This includes leveling and compaction of site pad and all rough-in utility lines are serviceable and ready to connect to.

4.3 INSTALLATION

A. General: Building design will meet or exceed all ABAAS/ADA requirements and will be constructed to the floor plan design specifications prescribed in plan set THRO2021-01 provided with this scope of work B. Proper installation and finishing of the pre-engineered comfort stations is the sole responsibility of the contractor to include site preparations, delivery, utilities and water hook-up C. The contractor is responsible for any damage/defects found on the exterior or interior of the pre-engineered building and if any component is judged to affect structural integrity of the building it will be rejected and will be the responsibility of the contractor to replace.

D. Patching will not be allowed if structural integrity of the building is affected E. The exterior will be split faced block texture. Color will be Mesa Buff or approved equivalent color. Roof design will be cedar shake shingle. The roof color will be Adobe or approved equivalent color.

F. 4”x12” ceramic wall tile up to 6’ all around the interior walls with a bullnose around the top of the wall. The remainder of the interior walls will be painted two coats with a pre-catalyzed water based epoxy (White Down color or approved equal) on the walls and ceiling. Floor tiles to be Krystal Slate Storm color (or equivalent) 12” x 12” porcelain floor tile. With transitions pieces for the doors. The grout will match the tile color.

G. The roof pitch will be a 3/12 with all comfort stations being the same pitch. The walls will be a minimum of 4” thick, the roof no less than 4” thick and floor 5” thick concrete.

H. The contractor will have to excavate the areas where the old and new footprints are for the new comfort stations and ensure compaction is met. Compact the fill every 4 inches to ensure even compaction. The finished surface will be level and flat with a max deviation of -1/2” to 0” from the true horizontal plane.

I. The compacted footprint will extend 1ft outside the area of the walkways around the new comfort stations. The new building will rest upon a road base material no less than 6” thick consisting of ¾” minus crushed rock compacted to 95% of optimal density under ASTM D1557.

J. Replace fill dirt in the hole after demo and with the installation of the new comfort stations, include topsoil to match existing grade of adjacent to both areas. All borrow must be from approved sources. Reuse any borrow from the excavation of the new site to fill as much as possible K. Contractor will install an ABA accessible walkway around the perimeter of each newly installed comfort station. Installation of walkway will be in accordance with the specifications identified in plan set THRO2021-01 associated with this scope of work
