1.3 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. The Work consists of the following:

1. The Work includes a full suite of repairs and upgrades including, but not limited to, the following:

h. Construct accessible paths as shown throughout the site and demolish the existing tables with concrete pads.

B. Project will be constructed under a single prime contract.

1.4 USE OF PREMISES

A. Contractor shall have limited use of premises for construction operations as indicated on Drawings by the Contract limits.

CALF CREEK RECREATION AREA REDEVELOPMENT 011000-2

B. Schedule operations so that Work is conducted during regular office hours which are 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday, no work on national holidays or weekends without written approval from the Contracting Officer. Allow 48 hour notice prior to proceeding.

C. Schedule and sequence operations necessary to complete the work, including coordination with other crafts relative to the Contractor's requirements. Schedule Work in such manner as to avoid delays in overall construction and permit proper installation of work.

D. Use of Site: Limit use of premises to work in areas indicated. Do not disturb portions of Project site beyond areas in which the Work is indicated.

1. Allow for Government occupancy of area facilities by Government or other authorized personnel. Conduct work in a manner that will minimize needs for disruption of other Government activities. Provide minimum 72 hours advance notice to Contracting Officer of activities that will impact other Government operations.

2. Parking Lot: Keep parking and access to trail available as much as possible when it safe for the public.

E. Utilities: Service interruptions will be allowed for short periods of time per schedule approved by Contracting Officer.

1.5 SPECIFICATION FORMATS AND CONVENTIONS

A. Specification Format: The Specifications are organized into Divisions and Sections using the 33-division format and CSI/CSC's "MasterFormat" numbering system.

1. Division 1: Sections in Division 1 govern the execution of the Work of all Sections in the Specifications.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS (Not Used)

PART 3 - EXECUTION (Not Used)

PART 4 - Site Conditions

4.1 Equipment USE:

A. Prior to entering the project area, all equipment and machinery will be cleaned for petroleum accumulations, dirt, plant material. All equipment and machinery leaks will be repaired prior to entering site. Such equipment includes large machinery, stationary power equipment (such as generators), and gas-powered equipment with tanks larger than 5 gallons

B. Heavy equipment use will be avoided during wet, muddy conditions to reduce the compaction of soils.

CALF CREEK RECREATION AREA REDEVELOPMENT 011000-3

C. During construction, spill containment berms will be used in all locations where equipment refueling occurs. On-site absorbent pads and booms (long enough to extend across Calf Creek) will be available should a spill occur. The above serve to prevent the potential for hazardous petroleum-based materials to contaminate Calf Creek.

D. To the extent feasible, heavy equipment work along the creek will be from the top of the bank, unless work from another location (instream) would result in less habitat disturbance, less floodplain disturbance, or better meet project design criteria. Operating heavy equipment in streams would only occur when project specialists believe that such actions are the only reasonable alternative for implementation or would result in less sediment in the stream channel or damage (short- or long-term) to the overall aquatic and riparian ecosystem relative to other alternative methods.

4.2 Fisheries/Aquatics

A. Any instream work or periods of prolonged equipment in the stream channel will not occur during spawning season of brown trout (October-December) and cutthroat (spring when stream levels begin to rise) unless first cleared by a qualified biologist. If work needs to occur during spawning timeframes, other mitigation features such as block nets and fish removal from the construction area will be used.

4.3 Health and Human Safety

A. Hazard trees would be trimmed or removed as warranted.

B. Signs to warn of hazards will be installed as necessary.

C. The public will be allowed to use the site or portions of the site when mixing vehicular and pedestrian traffic with maintenance activities does not pose immediate safety concerns. When it is not safe, the site will be closed in whole or in part to the public for overnight and day use, including hiking Lower Calf Creek Falls Trail.

4.4 Paleontology

A. A qualified paleontologist will be on site to monitor construction activities during any bedrock disturbance, particularly at the proposed overflow parking area and any place along the proposed bypass-trail. If fossils are encountered during construction, the resource must either be avoided or collected, depending on the threat to the resource and the practicality of avoidance for construction.

4.5 Soils

A. Storm drainage, erosion, and sediment control structures (swales, riprap, curbs, straw mats, vegetation, etc.) will be used to control erosion and sedimentation during and after construction.

CALF CREEK RECREATION AREA REDEVELOPMENT 011000-4

4.6 Vegetation

A. Where practical, native plants that need to be removed during construction will be saved and replanted in areas where revegetation is needed.

4.7 Water Resources/Hydrologic Conditions

A. A Utah Division of Water Quality Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan will be prepared prior to project construction to protect Calf Creek during and after construction.

B. A US Army Corp of Engineers/Utah Division of Water Rights Steam Channel Alteration Permit will be acquired prior to replacement of the culvert, low water crossing, and retaining walls by the creek.

C. Storm drainage from parking areas, roads, and facilities will be managed through engineering (slope, riprap, curbs, etc.) and by using sediment control structures (swales, straw mats, vegetation, etc.) to reduce the potential of contaminants entering Calf Creek during and after construction.

4.8 Wildlife

A. To minimize potential impacts to the ongoing hummingbird monitoring study, the banding location would be shifted away from the main toilet building and lower day-use area access route to an area across (southwest of) the existing lodgepole fence where no construction is proposed. On the hummingbird banding days, construction activities would not occur within immediate proximity to where hummingbirds are actively fed, captured, and processed, during the banding season (May 1 to September 30).
