1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: The project is located at Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas National Park, Garden Key, in Monroe County, Florida. Garden Key is located in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 68 miles west of Key West. Garden Key is only accessible by boat or seaplane. The logistics of transporting personnel, supplies, materials and equipment to the Dry Tortugas and maintaining a productive construction site far from the mainland will require careful planning and coordination by the Contractor.

B. The Work consists of the following:

The Work of this project consists of the repair of the brick masonry scarp wall at embrasures 49-54 and 59-64 (as well as Embrasures 65 and 66 as Bid Options) at Fort Jefferson. The scarp wall masonry is severely deteriorated and in many areas has collapsed into the moat due to the corrosion and expansion of internal iron elements. In general, the work includes, masonry demolition, removal of iron components of the historic Totten shutter assembly, partial reconstruction of the shutter assembly using cast concrete replacement components, reconstruction of the embrasure openings and repair and repointing of the scarp wall from approximately the magistral line to the top of the parapet.

This property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NR) and managed as a cultural resource asset. Historical significance extends to the entire site including all associated buildings, landscapes, engineering features and marine construction. This significance also extends to subterranean items including undiscovered or unexcavated archaeological resources. During construction care must be taken to protect all cultural and natural resources.

The site’s historical and environmental significance must be considered when planning and executing construction means and methods. All proposed work and modifications to

DRTO - 149152 01 11 00 - 2

historic features shall be in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s “Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings.” Contractor shall proceed with care and attention to preservation concerns. Conservative and cautious approaches when working on or around this resource will be given precedence over radical and unproven methods.

Repair and retention of existing historic fabric is a priority. If potential exists for irreversible damage or loss of fabric, Contractor will cease work and seek guidance and approval from Contracting Officer (CO) before resuming work. Actions deemed detrimental to the resource or actions that place the resource at risk of damage or loss to its historic integrity, regardless of cause, will not be undertaken without prior review and approval by the Contracting Officer.

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

1.3 WORK UNDER OTHER CONTRACTS

A. General: Cooperate fully with separate contractors so work on those contracts may be carried out smoothly, without interfering with or delaying work under this Contract. Coordinate the Work of this Contract with work performed under separate contracts.

1.4 GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED MATERIALS

DRTO - 149152 01 11 00 - 3

2. While the Contractor Work Area shown on the drawings will be closed to the public during construction, the counterscarp needs to remain open to NPS personnel and the visiting public. If closure of the counterscarp is necessary for limited periods of time, the Contractor shall coordinate the details of this closure with the Contracting Officer. Use of the sally port will be restricted/limited by NPS from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm.

3. Contractor Mooring Area: Contractor Mooring Area shown on drawings will be available to Contractor vessels on a limited and temporary basis for loading and unloading of materials and equipment. The mooring area will not be available to the Contractor when the tour boat, NPS Ft. Jefferson or other official vessels (such as Coast Guard vessels) are scheduled to use the main dock. Contractor vessels using the mooring area will need to be relocated immediately following completion of their tasks. In order to provide temporary controls and limit public access to the area, the Contractor shall coordinate use of the mooring location with the Contracting Office. Contractor shall provide a minimum of 48hrs notice of any Contractor vessel arriving at DRTO.

4. Limits on Number of Contractor Personnel: An environmental assessment for the project was performed resulting in a finding of no significant impact (FONSI). This FONSI was based on a limitation being placed on the number of Contractor personnel that can be housed at the site to perform the work of the project. The Contractor’s crew (including subcontractor personnel) shall not exceed ten (10) individuals staying overnight on Garden Key and using water and sewage utilities during a 24-hour period.

5. Contractor Housing: There is one dormitory facility referred to as “The Crew’s Quarters” with bunk beds (10 beds total) that the Contractor may use to accommodate its staff. The cost of these accommodations is $30.00 per person/per night. If the Contractor proposes to use these dormitory facilities to accommodate its staff, the Contractor shall include in its technical proposal the number of beds by days that it intends to use. Further, during contract performance, the Contractor is responsible for tracking the number of beds used each month and making payment to Dry Tortugas National Park on a fixed payment schedule (every 3 months). The Contractor shall submit a report to the Government indicating the actual number of beds used by date with each payment. Facilities and supplies available in the Crew’s Quarters includes two toilets, two showers, one lavatory, one satellite television, three refrigerator/freezers, one freezer, one ice-maker, one microwave, range/oven, two coffee makers, pots, pans and tableware. The Contractor agrees that its staff shall not damage these accommodations and shall use reasonable amounts of electricity, water, and waste disposal. This requirement for conservation of electricity, water and waste disposal is required due to the remote location of the site and the Park’s schedule for waste and water management. No cleaning or other services are provided by the Government.

6. Provisions: The Contractor and or Contractor’s personnel shall provide their own food/condiments/drinks/toiletries and any other personal items for the length of their stay.

e. National Park Service Crew Boat (Motor Vessel Fort Jefferson): The Government has a crew boat that may be available for the Contractor to arrange transportation for its construction personnel to the site rather than relying only on commercial modes of transportation. While the Contractor may make arrangements for its personnel to be transported to the construction site based on the Government crew boat’s availability and schedule, the Government crew boat’s schedule and availability is uncertain and subject to weather conditions and other operational requirements such as staff availability, boat repairs, etc. Since this alternative

DRTO - 149152 01 11 00 - 6

method of transportation might be available but is not being provided as Government-furnished property/services, the Contractor shall be responsible for determining what method to use to transport its personnel to the construction site.

If the Contractor chooses to use the Government crew boat and the crew boat is unable to make a trip, the Contractor shall bear all responsibility and expense for transporting its crew to the site; and this shall not be recognized as a Government delay of work or be an acceptable reason for the Contractor to make a request for equitable adjustment or additional time under the contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for making arrangements for the Government crew boat with the park personnel.

Information and restrictions that apply to passengers on the Government crew boat include the following:

1) All food items must be placed in cardboard boxes or coolers labeled with the owner’s name.

2) All other cargo must be labeled and easily identifiable as to the owner of the property.

3) Prior Park (and USCG) approval must be obtained in order to gain access to the docking facilities at the West Trumbo Point Naval Annex.

4) The trip is approximately 5-1/2 hours of travel time from Key West to Dry Tortugas. The Government crew boat typically departs at 9:00 am from Key West Trumbo Point Naval Annex every other Tuesday. Return trips to Key West are generally the following Thursday, departing at 7:00 am from Dry Tortugas. There would be no charge for use of the Government crew boat when used with the normal operational schedule and solely for the transportation of Contractor personnel, groceries and personal items.

Scheduled trips are generally every other week. The Government crew boat is unavailable when the crew have scheduled leave, training, scheduled maintenance at a ship yard or have chartered trips supporting research. On an annual average basis, the Government crew boat will make approximately 18 resupply trips to Dry Tortugas.

5) Arrangements for use of the Government crew boat shall be made at least two weeks in advance of travel.

6) All Contractor personnel cargo must be loaded, secured and unloaded by the Contractor or its personnel. The Government is not responsible for lost or damaged goods.

7) The Contractor and Contractor’s personnel or subcontractors’ personnel must present proper identification at the naval base gate and be escorted to the boat. The Government will not be responsible for personnel unable to access the boat prior to departure.

8) Private vehicles may not be parked overnight on the base. A small parking area is located directly outside the main gate and can be used to park privately owned vehicles. The Government shall not be liable for vehicle

DRTO - 149152 01 11 00 - 7

damage or theft if the Contractor’s or subcontractor’s personnel park their vehicle at this site.

9) Entry to the naval base may be denied anytime the national security level is elevated to orange or red or the naval base determines the individual(s) may not enter.

10) The Contractor shall be responsible for completing liability waivers for each person traveling on the Government crew boat. These waivers must be presented to the captain prior to the Government crew boat getting underway.

12. Hurricane Plan: A copy of the most recent version of the Everglades/Dry Tortugas Hurricane Plan is attached to the solicitation and made a part hereof (See Appendix).

B. Storage of Materials: Confine storage of materials to North Coaling Dock or other designated staging areas indicated on drawings. Storage in bastions and casemates must be coordinated with the Contracting Officer. Contractor shall prepare a Storage Plan that describes what equipment and materials will be housed on the island and where it will be stored during regular working conditions as well as during major weather events.

C. Preservation of Natural Features: The Contractor will take special care to protect areas and features of the site and surrounding water/marine environment that are not to be disturbed from the work in progress.

1. Prevent damage to natural surroundings. Restore damaged areas, repairing or replacing damaged trees and plants, at no additional expense to the Government.

2. Provide temporary barriers to protect existing trees and plants and root zones.

3. Do not remove, injure, or destroy trees or other plants without prior approval.

4. Do not fasten ropes, cables, or guys to existing trees.

5. Carefully supervise excavating, grading, filling, and other construction operations near trees to prevent damage.

6. Position scaffolding and temporary staging so as to avoid impacts to sessile marine organisms such as coral and sponges. National Park Service will provide a qualified biologist to identify State-listed plant species that could be affected by the project and investigate the potential for relocating individual plants. Notify the Contracting Officer if impacts are anticipated.

7. In the event that natural features are inadvertently damaged, Contractor shall notify Construction Management Representative immediately.

D. Preservation of Cultural Resources: Due to the elevated historic status of this resource, preservation treatment approaches must concur with The Secretary of the Interior’s “Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties,” along with The Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Treatment of Cultural Landscapes.”

This property is a National Historic Landmark and it will continue to be managed as an important resource. It may contain historic features that include buildings, structures, landscapes and associated landscape features (sidewalk, planters culverts, fences, site walls, retaining walls, etc.

and engineering features such as bridges, towers, lighthouses, etc.) It is also possible that certain site features within the project boundary are not mentioned in the NR document, but those unnamed items are considered potentially eligible and are treated with the same level of concern.

DRTO - 149152 01 11 00 - 8

During construction, care must be taken to protect cultural resources. When planning construction means and methods, preservation and protection of this resource is paramount. Contractor will proceed with care, using conservative and cautious approaches when working on and around historic fabric. Recognized and approved methods, favoring hand tools over power tools along with demonstrated experience and skill, will take precedence over radical and unproven procedures. If potential exists for irreversible damage or loss of fabric, contractor will cease work and seek guidance and approval from CO (Contracting Officer) before resuming work. Actions deemed detrimental to the resource, that would otherwise place the resource at jeopardy of loss to its historical integrity, regardless of cause, will not be undertaken without prior review and approval by CO.

E. Driveways and Entrances: Keep walkways, boardwalks, sally port and counterscarp clear and available to Government, Government's employees, and emergency vehicles at all times. Do not use these areas for parking or storage of materials.

1. Schedule deliveries, pick-ups/removals to minimize use of docks, seaplane ramp, counterscarp and sally port. Major delivery or pick-up of material shall not take place during peak visitor use times (10:00 am – 3:00 pm).

2. Schedule deliveries, pick-ups/removals to minimize space and time requirements for storage of materials and equipment on-site.

F. Hauling Restrictions: Vehicles shall not be driven inside the Fort unless moving materials or debris. Comply with all legal load restrictions in the hauling of materials. (Dimensions of bridge and counterscarp and associated load restrictions are indicated on drawings). Information regarding rules and regulations for vehicular traffic on park roads may be obtained from the Office of the Park Superintendent. A special permit will not relieve Contractor of liability for damage which may result from moving of equipment.

1.6 PUBLIC USE OF SITE

A. Contractor shall at all times conduct his operations to ensure the least inconvenience to the public.

Counterscarp closures will be permitted before 10:00 am and after 3:00 pm, upon specific approval of Contracting Officer (See 1.5.A.2).
