Wayside Exhibit Fabrication Services

NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK

1. PROJECT BACKGROUND

North Cascades National Park contains some of the nation’s finest alpine wilderness within its 505,000-acre boundaries. It is part of the larger North Cascades National Park Service Complex that includes Ross Lake National Recreation Area and Lake Chelan National Recreation Area comprising at total of 700,000 acres.

Work was completed in early 2025 to plan and design new wayside exhibits for the Diablo Lake Overlook area. Wayside exhibits will offer orientation, safety and accessibility information, and interpretation. Custom exhibit panel, base, and tactile model design intent concepts were developed to aid in achieving park goals in telling the human, ecological, geological, and other stories at the overlook. See Attachment G, Fabrication Drawings-Design Intent for custom panel, base, and custom element for details.

2. SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES

The project shall be the fabrication of thirteen (13) wayside exhibit panels and eight (8) custom wayside exhibit bases. Custom elements include one (1) accessible tactile object, in bronze-infused resin with raised-lettering and braille labels. Installation of wayside exhibits is not required under this contract. Travel to North Cascades National Park is also not required.

The project includes coordination with the Contracting Officer (CO), Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), and park staff. The contractor shall provide all services including labor, materials, equipment, and facilities necessary to perform the work in accordance with the specifications as detailed in this contract and its attachments.

2.1 General Requirements

2.1.1 Project Management

The Project Manager shall schedule, coordinate, oversee, and manage work produced under this contract.

The Project Manager shall be the single point of contact between the contractor and the COR. The Project Manager shall be in contact with the COR on no less than a monthly basis.

In addition, the Project Manager shall perform the following work:

1. Quality Control

Provide quality control to ensure that all elements of project work meet the requirements of the contract specifications. Provide routine inspections of in-house work and subcontracted work.

Ensure that all work not acceptable or compliant with the specifications is corrected prior to inspection or review by the

COR.

2. Schedule

The contractor shall prepare an overall project schedule including milestone dates for all submittals, fabrication, delivery, and submit to the COR for approval. The contractor shall track all work progress to ensure that the project is completed according to the schedule. The contractor shall coordinate and confirm the dates for all work with the COR. The contractor shall notify the COR in advance, in writing when work shall not be completed by the dates in this contract and provide an updated schedule for completion.

Virtual Meeting Project Manager Up to five (5), 1-hour meetings as needed

4. Submittals

Submittals and reviews are the key communication points between the contractor and the COR which document a project’s overall progress and any remedial actions necessary to produce complete and acceptable deliverables. For this contract, a submittal is defined as all physical samples and project and production documents and electronic files (i.e., drawings, schedules, facsimiles)—any and all material that together represents the level of development of work at a given time—provided by the contractor to the COR for review and approval. At any point in the planning or design process, the COR may require informal submittals of the contractor’s work-in-progress to document the status and level of development of the project.

Coordinate all contractor and subcontractor submittals and review them for legibility, accuracy, completeness, and compliance with contract requirements prior to submitting to the COR. Forward all submittals to the COR for distribution, review, and approval. The review timeline shall begin on the date the COR receives both the electronic and hardcopy files.

The contractor will receive all reviewed submittals and take appropriate action according to the acceptance or rejection by the COR, as follows:

Acceptance and Rejection Accepted Submittals—The contractor shall ensure that all changes, revisions, or additions required by review comments are addressed and incorporated into future submittals, and shop drawings and instructions are revised, updated, and incorporated into future submittals.

Accepted with Revisions—At the discretion of the COR, the government may accept the overall submittal, and ask for resubmittal of individual elements or pages to be updated or corrected prior to moving to the subsequent deliverable or phase of work.

Rejected Submittals—When submittals are rejected, the COR shall notify the contractor, in writing, identifying the reasons for rejection. The contractor shall ensure that the submittal is completed and/or revised as required and resubmitted within the time scheduled by the COR. Reasons for rejection include:

Incomplete Submittals – Acceptance of the submittal is delayed because required elements are missing. The contractor shall submit all missing elements.

Unacceptable Submittals – The submittal is rejected due to poor quality of work or work that does not otherwise meet the established project goals. The contractor shall submit new material.

Submittal Format

1. One (1) electronic PDF copy of each document submittal are required.

2. Submittals shall be sent via overnight delivery service, as applicable.

3. Both printed and electronic submittals shall be delivered seven (7) calendar days prior to scheduled presentations of the material, as applicable.

4. The contractor shall provide copies of any Microsoft Office submittals in an accessible 508 compliant format.

Transmittal Sheet The contractor shall include a transmittal in the form of a printed letter, PDF document, e-mail, or fax cover sheet along with all samples, proofs, prints, reports, digital files, digital images, and multimedia files, sent from the contractor to the COR. This includes all copies sent to the park or other copied recipients.

The transmittal shall include the following information:

• "From" (contractor's name and contact information);

• "To" (COR's name);

• Date submittal was shipped;

• Project name and park name;

• Itemized list of contents; and

• List of copied recipients who received the same submittals.

Inspection and Acceptance of Final Fabricated Elements Immediately upon receiving a delivery, park staff will inspect all fabricated elements. Inspection includes verifying all fabricated elements are present with no missing or damaged items, visual inspection of all elements for fabrication quality, color accuracy, size, and overall consistency. Park will notify COR of any fabricated items identified as missing, damaged, or otherwise unacceptable due to manufacturer or carrier error or omission.

2.1.2 Accessibility

Wayside exhibits planned and designed for the National Park Service (NPS) shall follow the latest published version of Attachment B, Programmatic Accessibility Guidelines for National Park Service Interpretive Media. These guidelines are a combination of best practices, NPS and Department of the Interior directives, and federal laws. Federal laws include the Architectural Barriers Act, Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act as amended, and the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act.

The contractor shall be aware of and pursue principles of universal design throughout all phases of the planning and design process. Universally designed wayside exhibits can be accessed, understood, utilized, and appreciated to the greatest extent possible by all users regardless of ability.

Universal designs reflect not only accommodations to select groups but approaches that are broadly inclusive and integrated into a larger whole to the benefit of all users. Principles of universal design are detailed in Appendix C of Attachment B, Programmatic Accessibility Guidelines for National Park Service Interpretive Media.

Accessibility requirements for visitors with specific disabilities shall be addressed within the designed wayside exhibits. If the site or criteria of the project do not address accessibility as defined in the attachments, or poses challenges to accessibility (e.g., inaccessible location of wayside exhibit), a full description of required corrective actions shall be provided to the

COR for any proposed accessibility solutions. The government shall review proposed solutions and when deemed necessary, provide additional guidance to the contractor up to and including exceptions and/or modifications to the contract to address outstanding accessibility requirements. Refer to Attachment B, Programmatic Accessibility Guidelines for National Park Service Interpretive Media for requirements addressed under specific disabilities.

Audio Description for Waysides: Audio description is not required under this contract.

Wayside exhibit bases, structures, and hardware shall have a minimum of ten (10) years warranty against structural failure including complete rusting through of weathering steel, welds, or complete corrosion of aluminum, as applicable. Exhibit base paint shall have a minimum of one (1) year warranty against fading, chipping, and cracking. Warranties shall exclude coverage for intentional vandalism, accidents, or force majeure.

If during this warranty period, defective workmanship, materials, or equipment are identified by the government, the contractor will be notified, in writing, as to liability and responsibility for corrective action at no cost to the government.

Action may include but is not limited to:

• Placing all work into satisfactory condition;

• Making good all damages to equipment, the site, the building, or contents thereof, that have resulted from such unsatisfactory work; and

• Making good any work, materials, or equipment that are disturbed in fulfilling the guarantee including any work, materials, or equipment that may have been guaranteed under another contract.

Should the contractor fail to proceed with work in accordance with the guarantee within seven calendar days from the notice of corrective action(s), the government will have such work performed at the expense of the contractor.

In no event will the government be responsible for any extension or delays in the scheduled deliverables or periods of performance under this contract as a result of the contractor’s obligations to correct defects, nor shall there be any adjustment of the delivery schedule or period of performance as a result of the correction of defects unless provided by a supplemental agreement with adequate consideration.

If the government returns any work to the contractor for correction or replacement under this contract, the contractor shall be liable for transportation charges up to an amount equal to the cost of transportation by the usual commercial method of shipment from the place of delivery specified in the contract (irrespective of the F.O.B. point or the point of acceptance) to the contractor’s plant and return to the place of delivery specified in the contract.
