SECTION 01 11 00 - SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. This Section includes the following:

1. Work covered by the Contract Documents.

2. Contractor use of premises.

3. Public use of site.

4. Occupancy requirements for buildings.

5. Work Restrictions.

1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Chase County, Kansas.

B. Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve was created to preserve, protect and interpret for the public an example of a tallgrass prairie ecosystem, and to preserve and interpret for the public the historic and cultural values represented on the Spring Hill Ranch. The 10,894 acre preserve is located north of Strong City, Kansas in the heart of the Flint Hills region. The preserve provides visitor activities ranging from interpretive tours to backcountry hiking. The preserve consists mostly of high quality Flint Hills tallgrass prairie and localized historically significant ranch developments including the Spring Hill Ranch Headquarters, Deer Park Place, and the Lower Fox Creek Schoolhouse. One culturally defining feature of the preserve is the three story limestone barn. The barn is over 120 years old and is a significant contributing element of the Spring Hill Ranch National Historic Landmark.

C. The project is intended to rehabilitate the wood and metal portions of the two existing barn ramps connecting to the third floor. The Work includes:

1. Demolition and recycling of existing wood decking members.

2. Removing rust from top surface of existing steel beams and applying coatings.

3. Construction of timber deck with rough sawn, full dimension 3-inch by 12-inch and 2-inch by 10-inch pressure treated wood, totaling approximately 2,950 board-feet.

4. Providing and installing new steel edge rails, totaling approximately 160 lineal feet.

5. Filling gap at concrete abutment with soil and topping with gravel.

6. Protecting the natural and built resources at the site from damage.

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

1.3 CONTRACTOR USE OF SITE

A. General: Contractor shall have limited use of the site for construction operations during the construction period. The site is defined as the 110-foot long by 55-foot wide area immediately to the north of the existing barn on the exterior of the building. Contractor shall construct and

TAPR - 171649 01 11 00 - 2

maintain a portable chain-link fence to delineate the perimeter of the site. Do not block or otherwise encroach on the gravel surfaced roadway located immediately to the north of the existing barn ramps. Tour buses, management vehicles and hikers frequently use this roadway as their route into the Park.

B. Storage of Materials: Confine storage of materials to these areas:

1. The gravel surfaced portions of the 110-foot long by 55-foot wide construction site.

2. An approximately 1,000 square foot gravel surfaced area in the parking lot located easterly, and within 500-feet, of the construction site.

3. An approximately 1,200 square foot gravel surfaced area located on the hill northerly, and within 300-feet, of the construction site.

C. Preservation of Natural Features:

1. Prevent damage to natural surroundings. Restore damaged areas, repairing or replacing damaged trees and plants, at no additional expense to the Government. If any grass areas are disturbed by the construction, these areas shall be replanted with Buffalo Grass, using a seed source acceptable to the Contracting Officer.

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. Consult with Contracting Officer and remove agreed-on roots and branches that interfere with construction.

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

5. Carefully supervise construction operations near trees to prevent damage.

6. Preventing the spread of invasive plant species is of major concern to the Government.

Before entering Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, the vehicles and equipment to be used in the work shall be pressure washed to thoroughly clean them of all soil, plant seeds and vegetative materials. Special attention shall be given to equipment undercarriages and tires/tracks where soil, plants and seeds accumulate.

D. Driveways and Entrances: Keep driveways and entrances serving premises 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 to minimize use of driveways and entrances.

2. Schedule deliveries to minimize space and time requirements for storage of materials and equipment on-site.

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

F. Hauling Restrictions: Comply with all legal load restrictions in the hauling of materials. Load restrictions on park roads are identical to the state load restrictions with such additional regulations as may be imposed by the Park Superintendent. 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.

A. Coordinate preparation and processing of schedules and reports with performance of construction activities and with scheduling and reporting of separate Contractors.

B. Coordinate Construction Baseline Schedule with the Schedule of Values, list of subcontracts, Submittals Schedule, progress reports, payment requests, and other required schedules and reports.

1. In developing the Construction Baseline Schedule, ensure that the Subcontractor’s work at all tiers, as well as the prime Contractor’s work, is included and coordinated.

2. Secure time commitments for performing critical elements of the Work from parties involved.

3. Coordinate each construction activity in the network with other activities and schedule them in proper sequence.
