STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Irving Peak Lodgepole and Ninemile Crossing Construction

Wenatchee River Ranger District, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest

Statement of Requirement

The Forest Service is seeking engineering services for construction work associated with upgrading undersized culverts to road bridges over Lodgepole Creek and Ninemile Creek along the Little Wenatchee Road (Forest Road 6500).

Work on this contract is anticipated to include, but is not limited to, construction survey and staking, developing and implementing an erosion control plan and a dewatering plan to include conducting fish salvage, removing and disposing of existing culvert and footings, road and channel excavation, reconstructing a steam channel, furnishing and installing a prestressed concrete slab bridge and precast concrete abutments, furnishing and installing a prestressed concrete bulb tee bridge and cast in place micro piles and pile cap, re-grading, reconstructing and repaving of roadway approaches, supplying and installing permanent traffic control features, and restoring and re-planting the site after construction is complete.

The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, and incidental supplies necessary to perform all work described in accordance with drawings and specifications of the contract.

Project Location

The project sites are located on the Wenatchee River Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.

To access the project area from Leavenworth, Washington, head west on US Highway 2 for approximately 15.1 miles then run north (right) on Washington State Highway 207. Follow State Highway 207 for approximately 4.4 miles then continue straight on to Lake Wenatchee Highway.

After approximately 5.3 miles, Lake Wenatchee Highway turns into White River Road. Follow White River Road for 0.8 miles then continue straight on Little Wenatchee Road. Follow Little Wenatchee Road for approximately 2.15 miles where it ends at the Forest Service Gate then the road from the gate on becomes Little Wenatchee River Road (Forest Road 6500). Follow Forest Road 6500 for approximately 6.1 miles to the junction of the 6500 and 6700 roads then continue straight on Forest Road 6500 for 1.2 miles to the junction of Forest Road 6500 and 6503.

Ninemile Creek Crossing - From the junction of the 6500 and 6503 road, continue straight on the 6500 road for approximately 0.7 miles to the Lower Ninemile Creek Crossing located around 2,280 ft in elevation in Township 27 N Range 15 E Section 4 at 47°51'46.5"N 120°58'30.5"W (47.862927, -120.975139).

Lodgepole Creek Crossing - From the junction of the 6500 and 6503 road, continue straight on the 6500 road for approximately 2.6 miles to the Lodgepole Creek Crossing located around 2,300 ft in elevation in Township 28 N Range 15 E Section 32 at 47°52'33.0"N 121°00'30.3"W (47.875845, - 121.008414).

The 6500 road is seasonally closed during the winter months with the crossings typically snow free in late May/early June. There are no known utilities within the areas, but utility line-locates are still required to verify none exist for geotechnical subsurface investigations and the final design.

Technical Specifications

The contract incorporates the USDOT, Federal Highway Administration’s Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects (FP-14). The standard specifications (FP-14) are available online at: http://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/specs/.

Existing Conditions

The Contractor shall verify all existing dimensions and conditions before proceeding with all work.

All dimensions shall be verified and/or determined in the field. The Contractor shall protect all improvements including existing culverts and roadway from damage during construction.

Project Control

Onsite work can begin as soon as weather permits (sites typically accessible around June 1 through October 31) but the government anticipates that field work will not begin until summer of 2027 based on lead time for materials procurement. All work must be completed no later than October 31, 2029.

Contractor is responsible for protecting workers from injury (refer to FAR 52.236-13, Accident Prevention, for full text).

The Contractor shall confine all operations (including storage of materials) on Government premises to areas authorized or approved by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). The Government is not responsible for loss of or damage to materials or supplies stored on-site during performance of this contract.

The Forest Service is intending to award and administer a construction contract for various road repairs and road maintenance along the 6500 Road and several spur roads that originate from the 6500 road. Repairs and maintenance segments are located before, between and after the two sites associated with this contract (Lodgepole and Ninemile) and have no alternate egress options. Work at both Ninemile and Lodgepole crossings, and their corresponding staging areas, that would prohibit or hinder repairs and maintenance on the 6500 road and forest roads that are solely accessed off the 6500 road, must be coordinated with the other contractors through the COR to minimize delays and allow work to proceed. The Contractor may need to adjust work accordingly to accommodate road repairs and maintenance (ideally work on Lodgepole the same year the road repair and maintenance contract are working to avoid full closure of the 6500 and 6504 roads as there is a detour around the Lodgepole site). The Contractor should anticipate some level of minor delays for importing materials while the road repairs and road maintenance contract is in progress, or plan on some level of mitigation, such as onsite stockpiling of material.

http://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/specs/

The contractor shall take special care under this contract to prevent contamination of water at the work sites with any petroleum residues from mechanical equipment operations. This shall include daily inspection and cleaning as appropriate.

Moisture Sensitive Soils

Contractors are cautioned that the roadway structure is designed so that the completed road will support highway legal loads during a limited use season. Construction equipment often subjects the uncompleted roadway structure to loadings it is not designed to support. This is especially critical during periods of excessive moisture and will require careful selection and scheduling to permit efficient operation. Any damage resulting from operations which renders the material unsuitable for use or results in potential siltation of streams will be corrected by the contractor at its expense.

Protection of Cultural Resources

Location of known historic or prehistoric sites, buildings, objects and properties related to American history, architecture, archaeology and culture, such as settler or Indian artifacts, protected by American Antiquities Act of 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431-433), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470) and the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1969 (PL 96-95 and 36 CFR 261.9(e)) shall be identified on the ground by the Forest Service. Forest Service may unilaterally modify, or cancel, this contract to protect an area, object of antiquity, artifact or similar object which is, or may be, entitled to protection under these Acts regardless of when the area, object or artifact is discovered or identified. Discovery of such areas or objects by either party shall be promptly reported to the other party.

Contractor shall protect all known and identified historic or prehistoric sites, buildings, objects and properties related to American history, architecture, archaeology and culture against destructions, obliteration, removal or damage during contractor’s operations. In accordance with 36 CFR 296.14(c), the contractor shall bear costs of restoration, provided that such payment shall not relieve the contractor from civil or criminal remedies otherwise provided by law.

Wheeled or track-laying equipment shall not be operated within such areas, except on roads. Unless agreed otherwise, trees will not be felled into such areas.
