About this file
This is a federal contract specification document for the Mesa Falls Boardwalk Replacement project issued by the USDA Forest Service, Region 4, located in the Ashton/Island Park Ranger District of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in Fremont County, Idaho.
The project scope includes removal and replacement of boardwalk lumber, stringers, deck boards, and connecting hardware for the Mesa Falls boardwalk, plus replacement of lumber and hardware for ten benches along the boardwalk and asphalt pathways. Existing metal railings, posts, anchors, and supports will remain in place for reuse. Work must occur between September 8, 2026, and November 12, 2026, with no extensions permitted due to weather constraints. The contract duration is 301 calendar days, with an estimated start date of January 15, 2026. The contractor must submit a stream protection plan, traffic control plan, and construction schedule for approval prior to work commencement. Equipment must be pressure-washed before entering National Forest lands to prevent noxious weed transportation. Water and utilities are unavailable at the site; the contractor is responsible for coordinating temporary power installation and costs. Toilet facilities are available. The project requires compliance with multiple specifications including Rough Carpentry (Section 061000), Heavy Timber Construction (Section 061323), Wood Patio Decking (Section 061533), Structural Glued-Laminated Timber (Section 061850), and Staining and Transparent Finishing (Section 099300). All lumber must comply with AWPA U1 preservative treatment standards, with UC4A treatment required for members in contact with ground and UC3B for above-grade lumber. Materials include pressure-treated dimension lumber, timber, fasteners, metal framing anchors, and exterior wood stains using Sherwin Williams or approved MPI-listed products. The contractor must maintain quality control systems, submit test and inspection reports, provide as-built drawings, and implement a waste management plan with documentation of salvage, recycling, and disposal activities.

2. For excavation or embankment volumes, the average end area method shall be used to compute volumes. However, if in the judgment of the Contracting Officer (CO), the average end area method is impractical, measurement shall be made by volume in hauling vehicles or by other three-dimensional methods.
3. For Structures, they shall be measured according to neat lines shown on the drawings or as altered by the CO, in writing, to fit field conditions.
4. For items that are measured by the linear foot, such as pipe culverts, fencing, guardrail, piping, utilities, and underdrains, measurements shall be made parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are placed.
5. For aggregates weighed for payment, the tonnage shall not be adjusted for moisture content, unless otherwise provided for.
6. For standard manufactured items (such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits) identified by gauge, weight, section dimensions, and so forth, such identifications shall be considered the nominal weights or dimensions. Unless controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturer's tolerances shall be accepted.
B. Earthwork Tolerances - Adjustments of horizontal or vertical alignment, within the tolerances specified in this contract, or shifts of balance points up to 100 feet shall be made by the contractor as necessary to produce the designed sections and to balance earthwork. Such adjustments shall not be considered as "Changes."
