Installation:

Demolition & Disposal Contractor will carefully remove and haul away for proper disposal of the existing 126 square foot double vault toilet. This work, along with the installation, must make every effort to stay within the concrete/ asphalt area to prevent material and equipment from touching the adjacent landscape. Installation of temporary barriers is encouraged to prevent debris from entering the sensitive landscape requiring additional remediation (cleanup) on part of the contractor.

Excavation and Elevation Contractor shall comply with all applicable OSHA Standards for excavation. Existing excavation is expected to fit new vault liner, however contractor shall have equipment on site to adjust if needed. Stockpile topsoil removed from excavation in a separate pile at site, if necessary. Excavate for the installation of the concrete restroom vault to a depth that will allow the structure site to be free draining after installation is completed. Place appropriate manufactured recommended bedding material.

The finish floor elevation shall be 6 inches above the natural grade measured at the front entrance door unless otherwise approved by NPS. Ideally, the back of the vault shall be slightly higher to allow water to freely drain out of the toilet rooms. NPS may specify a finish floor elevation within a plus or minus 0.05 feet of the specified floor elevation.

No excavation shall be left open for more than two (2) days. Any excavation left open overnight shall be fenced with wire or plastic mesh fence (minimum height of 36 inches) and secured to steel posts placed ten (10) feet apart. The bottom of the fence shall follow the contour of the natural ground around the excavation.

Backfill and Compaction Natural ground at the bottom of the vault excavation shall be compacted sufficiently, per manufacturer guidelines. Bedding material shall be supplied, installed and compacted per manufacturer guidelines.

Backfill around structure with additional bedding material if required, or native backfill if manufacturer approved. Rocks larger than six (6) inches shall not be placed within six (6) inches of the exterior vault walls.

Fill, adjacent to the building entry shall have excavated material placed in eight (8) inch loose lifts and compacted with a minimum of two passes with a mechanical compactor (jumping jack, vibratory plate, etc.).

Finish Grading Spread excess excavated material from the vault around the precast concrete restroom structure. Intended final grade is six (6) inches below the finish floor at the front entrance door unless otherwise approved by NPS. These six (6) inches of space as the finished and final layer under this contract will allow room for the placement of the final road base and pavement at a later date under a separate contract.

All areas disturbed by excavation, backfilling, and stockpiling of excavated material shall be hand raked to remove exposed rocks over one (1) inch in size. Oversized rocks shall be removed from the surface and disposed in a designated area within 200 feet of the site.

Precast Concrete Restroom Contractor will apply the provided seal between the vault and concrete floor before the toilet riser is installed. Seal and install the exhaust piping and roof structure to restroom structure in accordance with manufacturer specifications.

Vault Construction:

The prefabricated LDLE plastic liner shall be installed according to manufacturer recommendations, including proper bedding and backfill materials for a sealed fit.

Disposal of Debris:

All excess material other than native backfill shall be removed and legally disposed of by contractor.

Payment:

Lump Sum at final project completion.
