SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.1.1 Project Description

Lapwai Creek Bridge is located 11 miles east of Lewiston, Idaho at the Spalding headquarters of

Nez Perce National Historical Park. This 64-foot-long steel and timber expansion bridge serves vehicle and pedestrian traffic. It has a 10-ton load capacity, accommodates one vehicle lane, and is the only access over Lapwai Creek to the park’s Spalding picnic ground and a Nez Perce tribal cemetery.

This project will repair timber deck boards and curbing, which must be routinely replaced because chemically-treated lumber is not permitted over Lapwai Creek, a critical habitat for salmon. Metal bridge supports and components also require scraping and sanding, followed by a minimum of one coat of paint, to sustain bridge integrity and structural soundness. The project duration is one week.

The contractor will establish measures to prevent contaminating Lapwai Creek and the creek bed.

A containment tarp or similar suspension device customarily used to capture work debris is preferred. The contractor is responsible to properly dispose waste materials and debris at an approved waste facility.

The contractor will not use equipment in the watered streambed of Lapwai Creek. All repairs requiring equipment will be conducted from the creek banks, bridge, or road surface. The contractor will repair, replant, and reseed all vegetation including maintained lawns damaged during the course of the project.

1.1. 2 Location

The work is located at Nez Perce National Historical Park Headquarters Complex, in Spalding, Idaho.

1.2 WORK SCHEDULING

Work will be conducted Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with provision for daytime extension as park and contractor determine. Weekend work may be conducted as mutually agreed, particularly as expedites restoring park operations and public bridge access.

Temporary closure will be permitted, particularly during deck plank replacement. In order to minimize disruption of park operations, the contractor will submit a detailed work plan 30 days prior to start. The plan will describe work activities and anticipated bridge closure. If for some reason bridge closure must be extended, the contractor shall so inform the park to enable public notice.

1.3 OCCUPANCY OF PREMISES

The buildings are in normal occupied mode during performance of work under this Contract.

Before work is started, the Contractor shall arrange with the Contracting Officer a sequence of procedure, means of access, space for storage of materials and equipment.

1.4 EXISTING WORK

In addition to "FAR 52.236-9, Protection of Existing Vegetation, Structures, Equipment, Utilities, and Improvements":

a. Remove or alter existing work in such a manner as to prevent injury or damage to any portions of the existing work which remain.

b. Repair or replace portions of existing work which have been altered during construction operations to match existing or adjoining work, as approved by the Contracting Officer.

1.5 TEMPORARY SERVICES

A. Telephone: There are no public pay telephones available at the work site.

B. Water: Contractor shall provide cool, potable water for construction personnel in locations convenient to work stations. Potable water is available on site.

C. Sanitary facilities: Contractor shall provide and maintain within the construction area minimum field-type sanitary facilities approved by the Contracting Officer. Maintain these conveniences at all times without nuisance. Include provisions for pest control and elimination of odors. Government toilet facilities will not be available to Contractor's personnel.

1.6 STORAGE

An onsite fenced staging area is available within ½ mile for contractor equipment and material, and unsecured staging is available at a designated location at the worksite. The park accepts no liability or responsibility for contractor materials and equipment stored or otherwise kept on its premises.

1.7 EMPLOYEE PARKING

Contractor employees will park privately owned vehicles in an area designated by the

Contracting Officer. This area will be within reasonable walking distance of the construction site. Contractor employee parking must not interfere with existing and established parking requirements of the government installation.

*See Appendix B for Standard Solid Waste Volume to Weight Conversions

Appendix B

STANDARD SOLID WASTE CONVERSIONS

The following sections provide conversions for solid waste and recyclable materials. Section 1 provides formulas to convert solid waste volume (cubic yards) into tons. Section 2 includes conversion factors to estimate the volume and weight of a number of solid waste and recyclable materials.

1. To convert cubic yards to tons:

A: For un-compacted trash, to convert the units of cubic yards into tons, using the standard density of trash value of 250 pounds per cubic yard:

Using “X” cubic yards, multiply by 250 pounds per cubic yard, divide by 2000 pounds per ton, to obtain value in tons.

“X” cubic yards x 250 pounds ÷ 1 ton = ______ tons cubic yard 2000 pounds This equals:

“X” cubic yards x 0.125 tons = _______ tons cubic yard

In this case, 8 cubic yards = one ton.

B: To determine your own density value for un-compacted trash (instead of using the standard value of 250 pounds per cubic yard), using a 32 gallon trash can:

(1) Weigh the trash can both filled and empty (use a full 32 gallon trash can filled with trash roughly level to the top);

(2) Subtract the empty weight from the filled weight to get the weight of trash ( filled weight – empty weight = weight of trash);

(3) Use the formula, using “Y” your weight of trash (pounds), divided by 0.15 cubic yards per 32 gallon trash can, to obtain your value in pounds per cubic yard; which equals:

“Y” pounds / 0.15 cubic yards = ________ pounds

32 gallon can 32 gallon can cubic yard

(4) Substitute this value for the 250 pounds per cubic yard value in Method A above.

This would be the more accurate measure of your park’s specific waste.

C: For compacted trash, to convert cubic yards into tons:

To use a compaction ratio, multiply the appropriate ratio times the un-compacted trash weight in Formula

A to obtain the compacted trash weight.

“X” cubic yards x 3 (compaction ratio) x 250 pounds x 1 ton = ______ tons

1 cubic yard 2000 pounds

Typical compaction ratios for trash: 3:1 (typical)

4:1 (higher-compaction vehicles)

If you or your hauler don’t know the compacting ratio, the typical values for compacted trash are 500 to 1000 lbs./cubic yard, average 700 lbs./cubic yard. Use 700 lbs. per cubic yard if you don’t have more accurate re

For compacted trash, 0.4 is used instead of 0.125 in Formula A:

“X” cubic yards x 0.4 tons = _______ tons cubic yard

D: To convert container size to cubic yards for un-compacted waste:

If you don't have size and weight information on your specific containers, then these typical values can be used:

1 cubic yard = 202 gallons

32 gallon can = 0.15 cubic yards

60 gallon tote = 0.30 cubic yards

90 gallon tote = 0.45 cubic yards
