About this file

This is a comprehensive technical specifications document for the GAOA SMV Building 97 Heat Cable and Snow Retention project in Grand Lake, Colorado, issued by the USDA Forest Service.

The project scope requires installation of heat cable systems on the north and south sides of Building 97, including electrical system reconditioning to provide dedicated power, and installation of S-5 Colorgard 2.0 Metal Roof Snow Guards on both elevations. The contract is structured with three base bid items (Mobilization/Demobilization as lump sum, Heat Cable Installation—North Side as lump sum, Heat Cable Installation—South Side as lump sum, and Snow Guard Installation as lump sum) and one optional item (Soffit Repair at actual quantity per square foot, approximately 200 square feet). The specifications address all aspects of work including selective demolition, utility line removal, rough carpentry, millwork, sheet metal flashing, joint sealants, and painting. The electrical division encompasses comprehensive requirements for wiring, grounding systems, controls, instrumentation, and testing procedures. Contractor responsibilities include factory-assembled control panel testing, detailed submittals in both hard copy and electronic CAD format, operation and maintenance manuals with schematic diagrams and functional descriptions, insulation resistance testing of all circuits (minimum 200 megohms), motor overload protection calibration, and final operational testing of all systems under the supervision of qualified engineers. The specification mandates U.L. 508 certification for control panels, compliance with NEC and applicable state codes, and comprehensive documentation including as-built drawings, equipment data sheets, troubleshooting guides, and spare parts lists delivered in both printed and electronic formats prior to project closeout.

SECTION 00 30 10

DEFINITION OF BID ITEMS

1. PART 1 -GENERAL

1.0 SUMMARY

A. The basis for measurement and payment for all work performed under this contract shall be as listed in the “Bid Form.” Unless the work is specifically called out to be measured and paid for in the Bid Form, payment for such work shall be included in other applicable items of the Bid Form.

There shall be no separate measurement and payment for any such work not specifically listed in the Bid Form.

B. The Contractor shall complete unit and total pricing for ALL items. If “optional” items are presented the “optional” item work shall be bid as mutually exclusive (stand alone) items. The Contracting Officer and the government reserves the right to award individual optional items, as funding becomes available.

C. The application of any pay item to more than one site will be marked by prefixes to differentiate between them on the Bid Form.

D. When more than one class, size, type, thickness, etc. is specified in the Bid Form for any pay item, suffixes will be added to the item number to differentiate between the pay items.

E. This item is intended to compensate the Contractor for operations including, but not limited to, those necessary for the movement of personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to the project site; for payment of premiums for bonds and insurance for the project; and for any other work and operations which must be performed or costs that must be incurred incident to the initiation of meaningful work at the site and for which payment is not otherwise provided for under the contract.

F. Items listed in the Bid Form as lump sum shall be on a lump sum all required basis. No direct measurement will be made for lump sum bid items. Bid items calling for unit prices show estimated quantities of work to be performed. These quantities, although shown with as much accuracy as possible, are approximate only and are for bidding purposes only. Payment to the contractor shall be made on the quantity of work actually performed by the Contractor.

G. The summation of all bid items under the Bid Form shall equal all work required by the drawings and Specifications regardless of whether individual items of work are described under bid item descriptions or not. Payment shall be made at the contract unit bid or lump sum prices listed in the Bid. The prices listed therein shall be payment in full for all labor, tools, equipment, materials, etc., which are required to construct respective bid items according to the Contract Documents, including all work and materials incidental thereto.

H. Payment for unit bid items and lump sum bid items only partially completed at the end of monthly pay periods shall be based on a percentage of work completed as determined by the Government.

May 1, 2025 GAOA SMV Building 97 Heat Cable and Snow Retention 00 30 10 Definition of Bid Items 2/6

As example is the construction of pipelines where the unit bid price includes the excavation and backfill of the trenches, installation of pipe, trench compaction, flushing and testing, although the Contractor may have installed a certain length of pipeline, yet has not completed the testing and/or restoration work. The actual payment for that bid item will be reduced to reflect the actual amount of work completed.

I. Capping and abandoning of existing water lines and demolition of water fixtures not specifically called out in a pay item but shown on the drawings is incidental to the work and no separate pay item will be included for this work.

J. Providing valve keys shall be incidental to the work. Provide, at a minimum, two valve keys for each type/size of valve nut.

K. For pipelines, the following method will be used to determine partial payment for work not complete unless determined otherwise by the Government:

Description of Work Percentage of Lineal Feet Installed Excavation, Backfill and Compaction Of Trench, and Installation of Pipe

75%

Flushing, Pressure and Leakage Testing And Disinfection of Pipeline when Required

15%

Surface Restoration Other than that Covered by other Bid Items

10%

Total 100%

For valves, meters, and other similar work items, the following method will be used to determine partial payment for work not complete:

Description of Work Percentage of Each Installed Installation of Work Item 75% Installation of Work Item to Finished Grade and Final Restoration

25%

Total 100%

1.1 DETERMINATION OF QUANTITIES

A. The following measurements and calculations shall be used to determine contract quantities for payment.

1. For individual construction items, longitudinal and lateral measurements for area computations shall be made horizontally or corrected to horizontal measurement unless

May 1, 2025 GAOA SMV Building 97 Heat Cable and Snow Retention 00 30 10 Definition of Bid Items 3/6 otherwise specified. Measurements for geotextiles, netting and erosion control blankets shall be along slope lines.

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 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, utilities, and underdrains, measurements shall be made parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are placed.

5. For standard manufactured items (such as wire, pipe) 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."

1.2 UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

A. Payment shall be by units defined and determined according to U.S. Standard measure and by the following:

1. Cubic Yard (CY): A measurement computed by one of the following methods:

a. Excavation, Embankment, or Borrow. The measurement computed by the average end area method from measurements made longitudinally along a centerline or reference line.

b. Material in Place or Stockpile. The measurement computed using the dimensions of the in-place material.

c. Material in the Delivery Vehicle. The measurement computed using measurements of material in the hauling vehicles at the point of delivery. Vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity. Leveling of the loads may be required when vehicles arrive at the delivery point.

2. Each (EA): One complete unit, which may consist of one or more parts.
