This work is required only if Option 1 (Dwelling 1) or Option 2 (Dwelling 4) is selected, resulting in a trench that crosses Nellie Road.

D. CONTRACTOR USE OF SITE

1. General: Contractor shall have limited use of the site for construction operations. Limit use of premises to areas indicated. Do not disturb portions of the Project site beyond areas in which the work is indicated.

2. Limits: Confine construction operations to staging areas defined on the drawings.

3. Site Disturbance: Limit earthwork, clearing, and grading to the minimum area necessary to complete work.

4. Noise and Work Hours: Comply with Town of Wellfleet noise ordinances and work-hour restrictions defined in this section.

5. Public Roadway Impact: Where construction affects public roads (Nellie Road and Ocean View Drive), maintain traffic flow, provide signage, traffic control, and flaggers as needed to prevent closures.

6. Other Road Impacts: Where construction impacts Coast Guard Road for deliveries, mobilization, or hauling, phase work to prevent road closures and provide traffic control, signage, and flag personnel.

E. Storage of Materials: Confine storage of materials to staging area defined on drawings and specification. Protect stored materials from damage and environmental exposure.

F. Preservation of Natural Features:

1. Prevent damage to natural surroundings. Restore damaged areas, repairing or replacing damaged trees and plants, at no additional expense to the Government.

2. Provide temporary barriers to protect existing trees and plants and root zones.

3. Do not remove, injure, or destroy trees or other plants without prior approval. Consult with Contracting

Officer and remove agreed-on roots and branches that interfere with construction.

4. Do not fasten ropes, cables, or guys to existing trees.

5. Carefully supervise excavating, grading, filling, and other construction operations near trees to prevent damage

6. Provide temporary stakes and barrier tape to protect existing trees, plants, and root zones.

7. Exercise caution and carefully supervise excavating, grading, filling, and performing other demolition operations and activities near trees to prevent damage.

8. Eastern Box Turtle: Between April 1 through October 31 any box turtle found within the limit of disturbance (LOD) for a project site shall be moved outside the LOD in order to avoid impacts to box turtles during construction. The Contractor shall provide site review sweeps prior to equipment use at the beginning of the day, after breaks and after lunch to avoid impact to the eastern box turtle. If for any reason a turtle is killed it MUST be

CACO NELLIE 01 11 00 - 5

reported to the Contracting Officer, the COR and US Fish & Wildlife.

9. Trees greater than or equal to 3-inches dbh (diameter at breast height) shall be saved wherever possible. Removal of any trees greater than or equal to 3-inches dbh shall occur only between March 31 to November 1 to avoid potential impacts to federally listed bat species and migratory birds. If Contractor requires additional trees greater than or equal to 3-inches dbh to be removed for demolition operations removal shall be coordinated with the COR and Park for approval (allow three weeks for approval) to clear for bats. If for any reason a bat is killed it MUST be reported to the Contracting Officer and Massachusetts Wildlife Heritage and Endangered Species program (MNHESP). State listed bat species include the Northern long eared bat and the Little Brown Bat. Federally listed bat species, the northern long eared bat, requirements shall be applied.

G. Driveways, Entrances & Accesses: Keep driveways and entrances serving premises clear and available to the occupants, Government's employees and emergency vehicles at all times. Do not use these areas for parking or storage of materials.

1. Schedule deliveries to minimize use of driveways and entrances.

2. Schedule deliveries to minimize space and time requirements for storage of materials and equipment on-site.

3. Contractor shall maintain access throughout duration of construction and restore access roads, driveways/access paths to preconstruction or better condition.

4. Maintain access at streets and public ways for emergency vehicles and local resident traffic.

H. Construction Camp: Establishment of a camp within the park will not be permitted.

I. Hauling Restrictions: Comply with all legal load restrictions in the hauling of materials. Time of day restrictions are in accordance with work hours. Load restrictions on park roads are identical to the state of Massachusetts load restrictions with such additional regulations as may be imposed by the Park Superintendent. Information regarding rules and regulations for vehicular traffic on park roads may be obtained from the Office of the Park Superintendent.

A special permit will not relieve Contractor of liability for damage which may result from moving of equipment.

J. Parking Restrictions: Within limits of disturbance, as shown on the contract drawings or/as directed by the Contracting Officer. The construction site is adjacent to public residential homes. Limit vehicles and park contractor vehicles and equipment within the limits of disturbance.

K. Archeological Monitoring: The entire project site has been heavily disturbed during previous construction activity, and the work of this project likely will not impact previously undisturbed areas. However, it is possible that deeply buried archeological features or deposits may be located in the vicinity of the project, though unlikely the demolition of cesspool and excavation work would affect these should they exist. A NPS Archeologist will monitor ground disturbing work and has the authority to stop the work if any potential archeological resources are unearthed. Every precaution shall be taken to avoid and/or minimize impacts to areas adjacent to the bathhouse that do not fall within the demolition limits.

1. The contractor shall limit all subsurface excavation to within the limits of the exact areas where items to be removed are located to the greatest extent possible. Whenever possible, when using equipment for excavation and removal, especially at the parking lot, the contractor shall use a bucket with a flat blade, not one with teeth. If heavy equipment is to be operated outside of the previously disturbed area, construction matting shall be employed to prevent impacts to the ground surface.

1.3 PUBLIC USE OF SITE

Prohibit public access within the Limits of Disturbance during construction. Provide signage and safety barriers as needed. Maintain access for government, emergency and resident traffic at all times. Unscheduled road closures are not permitted. Sequence and schedule work to maintain government vehicle access, emergency vehicle access and

CACO NELLIE 01 11 00 - 6

resident only access.

1.4 UTILITY FEES

There are no utility connections available at the site(s). The contractor shall provide its own utilities. The contractor shall obtain and pay for all utility permits, fees and inspections whether temporary or permanent.

The GPR survey shall comply with ASTM D6432- Standard Guide for Using Ground Penetrating Radar for Subsurface Investigations. Clearly mark all detected and known utilities prior to the excavation. Where utilities are identified and suspected to cross the path of new work, utilize an excavation spotter to prevent damage. Any damage to utilities shall be repaired by the contractor at no additional cost to the Government.

7. If damage occurs to an unknown utility, repair utility and notify the Contracting Officer and COR as soon as possible. An equitable adjustment will be made in accordance with the Changes clause of the contract.

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.

8. Equipment not used and on job site for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work.

Equipment still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

9. Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented and itemized separately.
