SECTION 01 10 00

SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. The work of this project consists of providing all labor, materials, and equipment to demolish and reconstruct the Anhinga Boardwalk and Trail as shown on attached drawings 160/122,495.

B. The Anhinga trail and boardwalk is located at the Royal Palm Area of Everglades National Park. It is located 4.5 miles inside the national park entrance on State Road 9336.

C. The Anhinga Boardwalk and Trail are one of the most heavily visited attractions in the park. Time is of the essence in getting the boardwalk and trail replaced and back in service in as little time as necessary.

D. The work will be constructed under a single contract.

1.2 USE OF PREMISES

A. Seasonal Shutdown: No work will be allowed during the heavy visitor season (Nov 15 to April 15).

In the event this project is not completed before the heavy visitor season, the Contractor shall demobilize from the site and resume work after April 15 whether additional contract time is approved or not. Before demobilizing, the Contractor shall complete work sufficiently so the visiting public will have full access to the trail and boardwalk without encountering any dangerous or unsafe conditions. The contract time will be suspended during the shutdown and resume in April when the work resumes.

B. There is no water access to the site. Watercraft or floating work platforms can only access the site from the Trail. Moving any watercraft from the trail to the water shall be done without any ground disturbing activities. Motorized watercraft will not be allowed on the project site.

C. No vehicles or vehicle mounted equipment can access the boardwalk section of the trail.

D. Use of Site: Limit use of the premises to the area immediately adjacent to the work site. Do not disturb portions of the site beyond the work area.

1. Preservation of Natural Features:

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

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

c. Do not remove, injure, or destroy trees or other plants without prior approval. Consult with Contracting Officer and remove agreed on roots and branches that interfere with construction.

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

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

2. Preservation of Cultural Resources:

PI-14-0001 01 10 00-2

a. No known archeological resources are in the area of this construction. If previously unknown archeological resources are discovered during the work of this project, the Contractor will immediately stop work in the area of discovery and notify the Contracting Officer.

b. The existing stone retaining wall along the water behind the Visitor Center is historic.

Work along the wall demolishing the existing asphalt and installing new asphalt shall be done in such a manor at the prevent damage to the wall. Equipment will be operated with enough clearance between the machine and the wall to insure the wall is not struck or damaged. Removal and replacement of the asphalt within 12 inches of the wall shall be done by hand.

E. Storage of Materials: Confine storage of materials to the immediate work area and the designated staging area in the parking lot.

F. Construction Camp: Establishment of a camp within the park will not be permitted.

1.3 WORK RESTRICTIONS

A. Wildlife:

1. At no time will harassing or feeding of any wildlife be tolerated.

2. Any excavation left open at night shall be thoroughly checked in the morning for reptiles.

3. Alligators: The Anhinga Trail is a popular site for wildlife especially alligators. Depending on water conditions and time of year, the area may be heavily populated by alligators. Although alligators generally shy away from people, their behavior can be unpredictable. For the safety of workers on this project, the following guidelines shall be adhered to:

a. Do not approach within 12 feet of an alligator on land.

b. No workers shall be in the water at night or at dawn and dusk until the area is well lit by sunlight.

c. No worker shall be in the water alone. A group of workers will less likely encourage the curiosity of an alligator.

d. Whenever workers are present in the water, a spotter (not in the water) shall be designated to watch the area for alligators coming close to the work area.

4. Eastern Indigo Snake: The Eastern Indigo Snake is known to inhabit the area of this project.

The snake is an endangered species and is protected by law. Do not to injure, harm, harass or kill this species. Cease work and immediately contact the Contracting Officer if a snake is found within the project site.

B. On-Site Work Hours: Work shall be performed during daylight hours. Requests for any work outside those hours must be submitted for approval at least 48 hours in advance. The Contractor is allowed to work on weekends and holidays to expedite completion of the work.

C. Existing Utilities

1. Existing Utilities: Notify Contracting Officer of proposed locations and times for excavation.

2. Contractor shall be responsible for locating and preventing damage to known utilities. If damage occurs, repair utility at no additional expense to the Government.

3. If damage occurs to an unknown utility, repair utility. An equitable adjustment will be made in accordance with the Changes clause of the contract.

PI-14-0001 01 10 00-3

D. Hurricanes: The government requires closing of operations between 72 and 48 hours of anticipated landfall of a tropical storm or hurricane as determined by the National Park Service. All project materials will be adequately secured or removed from the site within that time frame.

1.4 PRECONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE:

A. Before start of construction, the Contracting Officer will arrange an on-site meeting with the Contractor. The meeting agenda will include the following as a minimum: correspondence procedures, designation of responsible personnel, payments to the Contractor, park rules and regulations, construction schedule, shop drawings, and project closeout requirements.

1.5 FIELD VERIFICATION:

A. Field verify all new and existing dimensions affecting the work of this contract before ordering products. Any discrepancies between construction drawings, construction specifications, and field conditions shall be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer before work is to be performed. Any work that is performed without notifying the Contracting Officer will be done at the contractor's own expense.

1.6 CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS:

B. The visitor center, public restrooms, parking area, and Gumbo Limbo Trail shall remain open to the public for the duration of the project.

C. The road crossing between the designated staging area in the parking lot and the trail crossing at the east end of the Gumbo Limbo trail shall remain open to traffic (vehicle and/or pedestrian) except for short closures when materials or equipment must cross from the staging area to the work area. A flag man shall be used to stop traffic at the crossing, when necessary, and to protect/warn pedestrians along Anhinga trail when transporting materials to or from the boardwalk. The parking lot curb shall be protected from damage when transporting materials

D. During the solicitation process, contractors shall provide proposals to accomplish the work under two different scenarios: 1) Allowing visitors use of the trail and boardwalk during the project, and

2) Not Allowing visitors’ use of the trail and boardwalk during the project. The time allowed, and target times estimated, are described below. Contractor proposals should include proposed times to accomplish each portion of the project.

E. Under Scenario #1 (allowing visitors), Construction Area 1 shall be completed first, before work begins on Construction Area 2. Under Scenario #2 (no visitors), the order of work on the boardwalk may be proposed by the contractor for consideration by the government, with no required order of accomplishment. The target time for accomplishment of work in Area 1 under Scenario #1 is 90 calendar days, and under Scenario #2 is 60 calendar days. The contractor’s proposal may vary from the target durations, and should be so described in proposals for consideration.

F. No work on the asphalt trail (Construction Area 3) may begin until all work in Construction Areas 1 and 2 is completed. Visitors will NOT be allowed access to the trail during this portion of the project, regardless of Scenario followed. Construction Area 3 work should be completed within a maximum of 14 calendars day from starting.

G. Area 4 (adjacent to the Visitor Center) shall be the final area of work, after Construction Area 3 is completed. This area shall be completed within 5 calendar days of starting.
