D. Snow Bridge: The connecting three story link between the Paradise Inn and the Annex.

1.3 PROJECT INFORMATION

A. Project Location: Mount Rainier National Park, Ashford, Washington.

1. Paradise is the name of an area at approximately 5,400 feet (1,600 m) on the south slope of Mount Rainier. It is the most popular destination for visitors to Mount Rainier National Park. The historic Paradise Inn was built in 1916 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

2. The Annex was built in 1920, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

3. The annex consists of 79 guest rooms.

4. Weather patterns at Mount Rainier are strongly influenced by the Pacific Ocean, elevation, and latitude. The climate is generally cool and rainy, with summer highs in the 60s and 70s. While July and August are the sunniest months of the year, rain is possible any day, and very likely in spring, fall, and winter.

MORA - 152787 01 11 00 - 2

5. Mountain weather is very changeable. Wet, cold weather can occur anytime of the year.

Although late-July and August are generally the driest and warmest time of the year, summer can also be wet and cool. Snow will remain at the 5,000 to 8,000 feet elevation well into mid-July.

6. Average Monthly Temperatures at Mount Rainier:

Paradise

(5400 ft/1647 m) High Low °F/°C °F/°C January 33 / 0.5 21 / -6 February 35 / 2 22 / -6 March 37 / 3 22 / -6 April 44 / 7 27 / -3 May 50 / 10 32 / 0 June 56 / 14 44 / 7 July 64 / 18 44 / 7 August 63 / 17 43 / 6 September 57 / 14 39 / 4 October 48 / 9 33 / 0.5 November 41 / 5 37 / 3 December 34 / 1 22 / -6

7. The Paradise Inn area receives between 40 and 90 feet of annual snowfall. 80 percent of the annual precipitation occurs from mid-October through April. In addition, the Paradise area receives approximately 900,000 visitors annually with the peak months being July and August at approximately 300,000 visitors per month.

1.4 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. The Work consists of the following:

1. The foundation of the Annex has been compressed, deformed, and shifted, leaving the building susceptible to failure under a heavy snow load or as the result of a seismic event. Failure would likely take the form of damage severe enough to render the Annex and Snow Bridge unfit for human habitation, although complete collapse of the Annex and Snow Bridge buildings also could occur. Inadequate drainage around the foundation is contributing to the undermining of the foundation. Degradation of exterior walls caused by constant moisture also is contributing to accelerated deterioration of the foundation. Building upgrades are needed to bring the Annex and Snow Bridge into compliance with International Building Code and National Fire Protection Act standards.

The Paradise area is the most heavily visited area of the park, with approximately 70 percent of visitors to the park spending a portion of their stay in the area. Rehabilitation of the Annex and Snow Bridge would need to efficiently implement construction activities while minimizing impacts on park visitors.

2. Rehabilitation work is to be completed as specified in Division 01 Section "Historic Preservation Treatment Procedures.”

3. The Work includes building foundation replacement, building structural and life safety upgrades, replacement of building systems, roofing and siding, repair and replacement of windows, and modifications to site drainage, for the Annex and Snow Bridge portions of the Paradise Inn.

MORA - 152787 01 11 00 - 3

Native pests will be allowed to function unimpeded, except as noted below. Many fungi, insects, rodents, disease organisms, and other organisms that may be perceived as pests are, in fact, native organisms existing under natural conditions and are natural elements of the ecosystem. Also, native pests that were evident in pesticide-free times are traditional elements in park cultural settings.

3. Contractor shall control native pests to accomplish the following:

a. Conserve threatened, rare, or endangered species, or unique specimens or communities;

b. Preserve, maintain, or restore the historical integrity of cultural resources;

c. Conserve and protect plants, animals, and facilities in developed areas;

d. Prevent outbreaks of a pest from invading uninfested areas outside the park;

e. Manage a human health hazard when advised to do so by the U. S. Public Health

Service (which includes the Centers for Disease Control and the NPS public health program);

f. o otherwise protect against a significant threat to human safety.

4. Integrated Pest Management Program: Contractor shall conduct an integrated pest management (IPM) program to reduce risks to the public, park resources, and the environment from pests and pest-related management strategies. Integrated pest management is a decision-making process that coordinates knowledge of pest biology, the environment, and available technology to prevent unacceptable levels of pest damage by cost-effective means while posing the least possible risk to people, resources, and the environment.

MORA - 152787 01 11 00 - 11

Contractor and each park unit will use an IPM approach to address pest issues. Proposed pest management activities must be conducted according to the IMP process prescribed in Director’s Order #77-7: Integrated Pest Management. Pest issues will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Controversial issues, or those that have potential to negatively impact the environment, must be addressed through established planning procedures and be included in an approved park management or IPM plan. IPM procedures will be used to determine when to implement pest management actions and which combination of strategies will be most effective for each pest situation. Under the Contractor’s IPM program, all pesticide use on lands managed or regulated by the Contractor, whether that use was authorized or unauthorized, must be reported annually.

5. Pesticide Use: A pesticide, as defined by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, is any substance or mixture that is used in any manner to destroy, repel, or control the growth of any viral, microbial, plant, or animal pest. Except as identified in the next paragraph, all prospective users of pesticides in parks must submit pesticide use requests, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account environmental effects, cost and staffing, and other relevant considerations. The decision to incorporate a chemical, biological, or bioengineered pesticide into a management strategy will be based on a determination by a designated IPM specialist that it is necessary and other available options are either not acceptable or not feasible. Pesticide applications will only be performed by or under the supervision of certified or registered applicators licensed under the procedures of a federal or state certification system. Insect repellents, bear deterrent sprays, and insecticides applied to persons or to livestock must conform to NPS policies and approval procedures, except that pesticides used under the following conditions do not require approval:

a. Cleansers and disinfectants used in restrooms and restaurants

b. Personal insect repellents, insecticides, and bear deterrent sprays that employees or park visitors personally obtain and use to meet personal needs

c. Insect repellents and insecticides applied to personally owned pets and pack and saddle stock

6. Biological Control Agents and Bioengineered Products: The application or release of any bio-control agent or bioengineered product relating to pest management activities must be reviewed by designated IPM specialists in accordance with Director’s Order #77-7 and conform to the exotic species policies.

7. Pesticide Purchase and Storage: Pesticides must not be stockpiled. No pesticides may be purchased unless they are authorized and expected to be used within one year from the date of purchase. Pesticide storage, transport, and disposal will comply with procedures established by (1) the Environmental Protection Agency; (2) the individual states in which parks are located; and (3) Director’s Order #13B: Solid and Hazardous Waste Management, Director’s Order #77-1: Wetland Protection, and Director’s Order 77-7:

Integrated Pest Management.
