TABLE OF CONTENTS

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION

During recent monsoonal storm events at the Chino Valley Forest Office and Administration Site, located at 735 North US Highway 89 in Chino Valley, Arizona, there was damage sustained to three of the buildings 8810516A-Chino Yard Office, 8810516B-Supervisor’s Office and 8810564A-Chino Shop.

Damages to the Chino Yard Office include the destruction of the roof, major water damage to interior walls and the ceilings. This building was tested for Asbestos and was found to have 5% chrysotile asbestos in the roofing materials and will need to be abated prior to the roof being replaced. This building provides permanent office spaces for four (4) full-time employees, which include the Forest Safety Manager, the Timber Staff Officer, the acting Assistant Fire Staff Officer, and the Forest Fire and Fuels Planner, who have all been displaced. The long-term displacement of these employees will disrupt and impede the effectiveness of strategic planning for the reduction of forest fuels and could lead to extreme fire conditions that could impact the lives of the public that live adjacent to our forest. These employees are also supporting local logging and biomass markets that support the rural prosperity of the local community.

The Chino Shop sustained damage to the metal roof, and some minor water intrusion beneath the door and around the two garage doors. This building provides office space to four (4) full-time and ten (10) season fire and fuels employees, as well as providing storage for all their firefighting equipment, who provide forest fuels reduction in the forest around this community and who support wildfire suppression during local fire events. Although these employees have not been displaced, if damage is not mitigated immediately, the building will become unoccupiable which could lead to delays responding to wildfires in the community.

The Supervisor’s Office sustained water intrusion from the upper windows and some minor damage to the metal roof. While investigating the roof damage it was found that the upper roof did not have a z-bar flashing. This building provides office space to 12 full-time employees, which include the Forest Supervisor, Deputy Forest Supervisor, the Forest Leadership Team, the Public Affairs Officer, the Fire Staff Officer and others. Currently these employees are not displaced; however, if these issues are not resolved quickly, the water intrusion could worsen, causing mold growth and impacting the health of the employees.

1.2 WORK SUMMARY

This project consists of providing all materials, equipment, labor, transportation, and incidentals for completion of the repair storm damage sustained on three buildings at this site.

The repairs are to include roof replacement, dry wall and insulation replacement, a door replacement, ceiling and insulation replacement, installation of gutters and downspouts, and to replace a portion of the side of the Chino Yard Office; to perform maintenance to the metal roofs on the Supervisor’s office and the Chino Shop; to repair window frames on upper windows, to caulk ALL of windows, and to install a Z bar at the roof line on the Supervisor’s Office; and to gutters and downspouts on the Chino Shop.

This project could also include, if additional funds are available, optional bid items. The optional bid items are exterior painting on the Yard Office; replace the weather stripping on two garage doors and a door sweep on a manway; and if mold is found in the Supervisor’s Office to replace the dry wall and insulation.
