Champion Mill Stabilization Project (Revised)

2017 - 0297

PROJECT LOCATION

The project is located in Lake County approximately fourteen (14) miles southwest of Leadville at the headwaters of Halfmoon Creek in the San Isabel National Forest. The Champion Mill sits in the shadow of Mount Champion at an elevation of 11,700 feet. Please see the attached map.

WORK SUMMARY

The project work will involve critical stabilization of the deteriorating Champion Mill by replacing compromised rafters, purlins and roof decking as necessary and reroofing the structure with galvanized corrugated metal. A portion of the structure will be replumbed and stabilized with steel cables and several support posts will be repaired or replaced. And a stone masonry wall will require bracing to prevent further failure.

PRE-BID MEETING AND SITE SHOWING

A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site showing will be held at Colorado Mountain College (CMC) in Leadville, Colorado on Thursday, June 29, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Colorado Mountain College is located at 901 South Highway 24 (campus is up on the hill). Please see attached map. We will meet at the gazebo and proceed from there.

NOTE: Due to the inaccessibility of the Champion Mill this time of year, the pre-bid meeting will not be held at the project site. Instead the pre-bid will be conducted offsite at CMC where the project details and logistics will be presented and any potential questions answered.

The purpose of the Pre-Bid meeting is to afford potential bidders the opportunity to inspect the proposed work and access conditions. Attending the entire Pre-Bid meeting is mandatory. Bidders are advised to be prompt. A sign-in sheet will be available at the Pre-Bid meeting for firms to register their attendance. It is the bidder's responsibility to make certain their attendance is recorded on the sign-in sheet. Each individual may represent him/herself or a single company for the purpose of bidding. Signing the Pre-Bid Meeting attendance list to represent more than one person or company is not permitted. Failure to sign-in and sign out, as directed by the Project Manager, will be cause for rejection of a bid.

Please review Meeting Requirements PRIOR to the meeting. All interested bidders MUST attend. Bidding documents must be obtained prior to the pre-bid meeting. Any Documents that cannot be loaded to the VSS System are the ONLY documents that will be distributed at the Pre-Bid Meeting. A copy of the structural assessment report will be provided at the Pre- Bid.

Bidders are cautioned that, notwithstanding any remarks or clarifications given at this meeting and site showing, all terms and conditions of the contract documents remain unchanged unless they are changed by written amendment issued by the OWNER. If the answers to questions, or any amendment to the contract documents create ambiguities, it is the responsibility of the bidder to seek clarification prior to submitting a bid.

PROJECT WORK DESCRIPTION

The project work will involve stabilization of the deteriorating Champion Mill by replacing compromised rafters, purlins and roof decking as necessary and reroofing the structure with galvanized corrugated metal. A portion of the structure will be replumbed and stabilized with steel cables and several support posts will be repaired or replaced. And a stone masonry wall will require bracing to prevent further failure.

A structural assessment was completed on the Champion Mill in 2016 to identify the repairs required to stabilize the structure. This project will focus on the “Critical Repairs” recommended in the report.

All repairs will be undertaken in collaboration with a consulting structural engineer with experience in historic building preservation. Wherever the specifications or assessment report disagree with the structural engineer on treatment recommendations, the advice provided by the structural engineer will be adhered to. A copy of the structural assessment report will be provided at the pre-bid meeting.

Please see the attached drawings and photos for additional structural details.

Item 1.0: Mobilization/Demobilization This item includes all costs necessary and incidental to move equipment and supplies onto the project area, perform minimal road improvements, if required, move equipment within the project area during prosecution of the project, and any other requirements necessary for the successful completion of this project per Section 1.0 of the General Bid Specifications 2009. The CONTRACTOR shall also operate and maintain such temporary works and equipment throughout the period of construction. This item also includes all labor, equipment, and costs associated with demobilization and clean-up of the project site following the completion of the project. Applicable temporary works, such as sanitation facilities, shall fully comply with all rules and regulations.

Measurement and payment No measurement for payment shall be made for mobilization and demobilization. Payment of two-thirds of the lump sum price bid for Item 1.0 of the Bid Schedule shall be made with the first monthly progress payment after completion of the work described above for mobilization. Payment of one-third of the lump sum price bid for this task will be made with the progress payment following completion of all work. In the event the price bid for mobilization and demobilization items is greater than 15 percent (15%) of the total contract price, original invoices supporting the mobilization costs will be required before payment is approved.

Remobilization, if required, will be paid in accordance with the General Bid Specifications Section 1.4.4.

Item 2.0: Project Safety, Health, and Environmental Action Plan (SHEAP) The job will involve working around inactive mine features and hazards, and it is the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to be aware of all OSHA regulations which apply to this contract. This task includes all the contractor’s expenses for employee time, labor, materials, and safety equipment and safety training necessary for preparing and executing a job safety plan. The Successful Bidder will be required to prepare the Project Safety Plan (SHEAP) and submit it for review and approval to the DRMS. The CONTRACTOR is required to develop and implement a Project Safety Plan in conjunction with project implementation. PROJECT MANAGER must receive the Project Safety Plan within five (5) working days of Notice to Proceed date.

The Project Safety Plan must be submitted to:

Craig Bissonnette PO Box 1619 Leadville, CO 80461

FAX (303) 832-8106

craig.bissonnette@state.co.us

At a minimum, the plan MUST provide specific, detailed responses to the following list of safety concerns that are likely to present themselves during the course of Project completion. When developing the Project Safety Plan, please list specific types of equipment to be provided by CONTRACTOR, including subcontractor(s), in order to address the safety concern, or specifically state the actions to be taken by CONTRACTOR, including crew and subcontractor(s) order to address the safety concern.

It is expected that the Project Safety Plan will be comprehensive and sufficiently detailed so that every member of the work crew, including sub-contractors, on site understands their responsibilities and the responsibilities of CONTRACTOR to ensure a safe and injury free work place. The Project Safety Plan must be provided to the work crew members in the language in which they are most readily able to comprehend.

Upon receipt of the SHEAP, the OWNER will either accept the plan, or request that more detail be provided.

The CONTRACTOR and their employees or sub-contractors are expected to follow the SHEAP during performance of every component of the Project. If the PROJECT MANAGER determines that the SHEAP is not being followed, either in whole or in part, the Project may be immediately suspended, without stopping the job clock, until such time as the SHEAP is implemented.

Measurement and Payment There will be no measurement for payment. Payment for this task shall be for the lump sum bid price under Item 2.0 of the Bid Schedule. This lump sum bid will cover all costs for developing and implementing the SHEAP, including writing and revising the plan as required, provisions and maintenance of safety equipment and personnel, conduct of daily safety meetings, employee training, and all other items necessary and incidental to fulfilling the requirements of this task and of the SHEAP. Payment of two-thirds of the lump sum price bid for Item 2.0 shall be made with the first monthly progress payment. Payment of one-third of the lump sum price bid will be made with the progress payment following completion of all work. Payment will only be made upon approval from the PROJECT MANAGER.

Item 3.0: Stabilize Upper Shed The upper stages of the structure, starting at the south top plates (south end of the upper shed), exhibit severe wracking toward the west. The leaning becomes more severe through the structure as the wall runs north. A plumb line dropped from a height of thirty feet (30’) to the floor of Deck 2 fell four feet four inches (4’-4”) from the base of the wall indicating an average lean of 8.22° from the vertical. A measurement taken within the ore bin demonstrated a deviation of three feet eight inches (3’-8”) over fifteen feet (15’); a lean of 13.74° from plumb.

CONTRACTOR shall stabilize and replumb the upper stage of the shed structure. Brace interior walls with three-eighths inch (3/8”) or greater, galvanized steel cables. Where cables attach to the structure, install timber or steel bearing plates to spread the load over a greater surface area to avoid point loading.

Install six inch by six inch (6” x 6”) or two inch by ten inch (2” x 10”) glulam (glue laminated timber) struts at a forty-five degree (45°) angle to wall and floor. Cost of fasteners must be included in the bid price for this task.

Measurement and Payment No measurement for payment shall be made for this task. Payment will be lump sum under Item 3.0 of the Bid Schedule, and will be made upon completion of the specified tasks and approval by the PROJECT MANAGER. The price bid shall include all materials, labor, equipment and any other items necessary and incidental to complete the tasks as described.

Item 4.0: Stabilize Support Trusses and Posts Trusses supporting the rooms projecting to the north, east and west from the upper shed have failed in multiple places as a result of the wracking in the main structure.

CONTRACTOR shall stabilize the load critical structural trusses supporting the north, east and west projecting rooms with timber posts, glulams or steel C-channel depending on location, deterioration and access. The method of reinforcement in the various locations will be determined onsite. Any timbers replaced will be of the same size and type and will be joined in the same manner originally employed.

Reinforce split post in middle stage of upper shed using six inch (6”) steel C-channel and one-half (1/2) inch bolts. The steel C-channel will span the compromised section of the post and extend above and below the split a minimum of eighteen inches (18”) and will be bolted every twelve inches (12”). Cost of fasteners must be included in the bid price for this task.

Measurement and Payment No measurement for payment shall be made for this task. Payment will be lump sum under Item 4.0 of the Bid Schedule, and will be made upon completion of the specified tasks and approval by the

Item 5.0: Stabilize North Wall of Lower Shed The weight of retained earth and debris is causing the masonry wall in the lower shed to bow inward and as a result, the sill plate and wall system sitting on the wall are consequently being thrust inward also.

CONTRACTOR shall replumb and stabilize the north wall of the lower shed by installing six inch by six inch (6” x 6”) wooden posts, braces and kickers to transfer the load vertically into the ground to reduce the pressure on the masonry wall below. Removal of rocks, timber and debris will be required to complete this task. Material removed will be placed neatly to the side in an area designated by the PROJECT MANAGER. Cost of fasteners must be included in the bid price for this task.

Measurement and Payment No measurement for payment shall be made for this task. Payment will be lump sum under Item 5.0 of the Bid Schedule, and will be made upon completion of the specified tasks and approval by the
