Mobilization, if applicable, may be included for equipment solely used on the modification work but must be listed separately.

5. Estimate the full rate for equipment only for the duration that the equipment will be utilized to accomplish the work of the modification.

6. Standby unit rates used are to be in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the US Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then ½ of the equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, the established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment that is not used and on the jobsite for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided that the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work. Equipment that is still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

9. Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented and itemized separately.

10. The estimated timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly) for use of the equipment must reflect the lowest cost to the Government.

E. Establishment and Application of Overhead and Profit Percentages:

Home office overhead shall contain only allowable, allocable, and reasonable costs per the contract documents and FAR Part 31. Profit percentages are based on risk factors found in FAR Part 31which have been applied to the specific type of work included in this project. The following percentages establish the maximum allowable markups (OH&P) for contractor self-performed work:

Overhead………………10% Profit………………6.75%

2. Total aggregate limit of markup (OH&P) for contractor and subcontractors on modification work shall not exceed 25%. The NPS will not be responsible for allocation of percentages between contractor and subcontractors at any tier.

3. If contractors form a partnership, than the partnership may only receive home office overhead and profit in the same amount as an individual contractor (refer to par 1.3,E,1 above). It is the responsibility of the partners to decide on the division of revenue.

4. Combined Increases and Decreases: On proposals involving both increases and decreases in the Contract Price, the overhead and profit mark-ups are required on the net increases and deducted on net decreases.

5. At no time can profit be calculated on Overhead or itself, it must be calculated on direct costs of work only.

GENERAL AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A feasibility study of the Moose Water system was performed for Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) (PMIS 149677) by Nelson Engineering in July of 2011. Study recommendations included the construction of a new water tank to replace the existing Taggart Tank. This is a report of a geotechnical investigation at the proposed site of the replacement tank and is formulated as part of design efforts for water system improvements for Grand Teton National Park (GTNP). The proposed water tank site is in close proximity to the existing tank as shown on the Design Development Plans.

The purpose of the investigation was to provide geotechnical recommendations for the design and construction of a concrete cylindrical water tank of the size, elevation, and at the site as denoted in the Moose Water System Improvements Design Development Plans.

Scope of Services

The scope of services for this investigation was to provide geotechnical recommendations for the design and construction of a water tank based on a subsurface investigation and soils laboratory testing. A tank site, dimensions, and elevations were identified in the Schematic Design Phase and a subsurface investigation was performed to determine subsurface soil, rock, and groundwater characteristics for the proposed tank. The results of the subsurface investigation and subsequent laboratory testing were utilized in an engineering analysis assessing possible dewatering, excavation, construction, fills, and structural design requirements.

SITE CONDITIONS

Description

The existing and replacement tank sites are located west of the Taggart Lake trailhead on glacial moraine deposits. The proposed replacement tank site is located upslope and northwest of the existing tank on a moraine occupied by forest and brush. To the north of the site is the channel of Taggart Creek, flowing from east to west in a steep incised channel. Typical terminal moraine geomorphology predominates in the vicinity; features include potholes and multiple low ridges and swales. Potholes south and south east of the tank site are seasonally inundated during the spring snowmelt period. Granitic boulders typical of Teton moraines are visible at the ground surface throughout the area. Most boulders are less than 5 feet in diameter.

Geology

The site is mapped on the USGS "Geologic Map of the Grand Teton National Park, 1992". Mapped deposits are moraine drift deposits related to the 4th glaciation.

Seismic Hazard

Grand Teton National Park is located in a seismically active area known as the Intermountain Seismic Belt. Numerous active faults are mapped throughout Grand Teton National Park and the surrounding

- 2 -

S:\Proj2010\148-03 (Moose Geotech & Surveying)\Geotech\Tank Geo\DD Phase\2014 Taggart Tank Geo Report.doc area. Of particular note is the southern section of the Teton Fault located about ½ mile to the west of the tank site. The Teton fault is thought to capable of producing major earthquakes of magnitude seven or greater. Multiple minor earthquakes have occurred in the vicinity in recent years as recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey. Per the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project, peak ground acceleration at the project site has a 10% probability of exceeding

0.246 times that of gravity (g) in 50 years and a 2% probability of exceeding 0.685g in 50 years.

Seismic Design Parameters

The International Building Code, 2012 Table 1613.5.2, designates site class by determining soil properties in the top 100 feet. Data obtained in this investigation and local geologic mapping indicates medium dense soils form the upper 100 feet of the subsurface, therefore, site Class D is appropriate. Ground acceleration parameters for seismic structure design per the IBC and related ACI seismic design method for tanks should be determined for N 43.697°, W 110.739°, Site Class D.

SITE INVESTIGATIONS

Field Investigations

On November 18 and 19, 2011 three geotechnical borings, (TT-1, 2, and 3) were advanced at the proposed site as shown on the Boring Location Map in the Appendix. Axis Drilling of Belgrade, Montana advanced the borings with a track mounted Davey-Kent air rotary drill rig. Borings were advanced with an Odex type bit and casing was advanced continuously to the depth of all of the borings.

Philip Gyr, a Professional Engineer at Nelson Engineering, directed the field investigation. Field logs were prepared that recorded the observations of the field geologist. Each sample was carefully observed as it was recovered.
