The base bid work includes removal and proper disposal of entrance station buildings (4 total), flush and vault toilets (5 total), septic tanks (3 total), asphalt loop pavement (3 sites totaling approximately 24,000 square yards), concrete pads, sidewalks, curbs, and metal/concrete rubble at multiple locations. Specific tasks include cleaning and pumping septic tanks (estimated 1,000 gallons per tank), demolition of toilet facilities, asphalt pulverization, selective demolition of buildings with utilities capped at least 5 feet underground, and site recontouring to natural landscape with backfill compacted to at least 95 percent maximum density in 6-inch layers. The option bid includes additional work at Jones Water Campground such as removal of vault toilets (2 units), picnic tables and fireplaces (11 units), retaining walls (11 units), culverts (4 units), signposts (3 units), and barricades. Required submittals include demolition and construction schedules, Arizona Asbestos Abatement Contractor license certification, landfill/manifest tickets for asbestos-containing materials, and equipment specifications. Asbestos abatement must comply with OSHA and NESHAP standards, with all ACM double-bagged in 6-mil plastic and disposed at approved landfills.
