2. A 250 SF hazmat storage structure.

3. A 7,225 SF Fire Warehouse that includes office space, engine bays, and fire operations space.

4. A 2,100 SF Tree Cooler building

5. An emergency standby generator and automatic transfer switch for the Tree Cooler.

6. All associated site work including parking, vehicle circulation, grading, and utility connections.

a. Utility connections may include upgrading the single phase overhead power system to three phase underground, adding a sewer pump station, and replacing waterlines. The scope of this work will be determined after field investigations.

B. This document describes Forest Service needs and requirements for equipment and systems that exceed provisions outlined in the building codes.

1.03 EXISTING UTILITIES

A. In general, for all utilities; verify existing conditions and capacities, update “as-built” drawings as needed, coordinate and design for the new buildings.

The system will need to be analyzed to determine if the old pump station needs to be replaced, and a new pump station will need to be added for the Fire Warehouse and Tree Cooler.

b. Bunkhouse sewer will use existing Cornell pump station with gravity feed. Sewer system needs evaluations.

1.04 SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

A. Include parking, circulation, and utilities for the new and existing buildings.

B. The existing 75 SF paint storage building, and the 75 SF hazardous materials building may be relocated to better align with the new site design.
