C.1 SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall furnish the necessary personnel, materials, equipment, and services as necessary to successfully complete the Scope of Work as follows:

HAZARDOUS TREE AND VEGETATION REMOVAL

Yosemite National Park

SCOPE

National Park Service (NPS), Yosemite National Park Facilities Maintenance Division, is seeking quotes for hazardous tree and vegetation removal along 3/4 miles of distribution power lines. This contract will help provide crucial assistance in maintaining vegetation clearance around overhead power lines, increase the reliability of crucial park infrastructure, and help reduce fire hazards.

This work shall take place within Yosemite National Park. The 3/4 miles of 12KV (Kilovolts) distribution line runs overhead from the south side of the Wawona Tunnel on Highway 41 down to the Yosemite powerhouse alongside Highway 140 across the river. Elevations in this area range from 2,000 feet to 5,000 feet. This location is considered an “extreme” fire danger area.

This distribution circuit supplies power to the Wawona Tunnel (lights, signage, air circulation, etc.) as well as the critical infrastructure located at Turtleback. The terrain under this line is steep and roadless.

The circuit consists of approximately 3/4-mile of three-strand conductor supported by structures.

Significant vegetation efforts have not been performed in many years along this circuit. Trees, both hazard and green, fall within standard clearance zones around the lines and structures. Brush and ground cover extend below the distribution circuit.

Work should be anticipated to begin late fall 2021 (date to be determined due to fire season) and be completed no later than March 1, 2021. Location is subject to snow and winter mountain driving conditions and may have restrictions during seasonal times due to wildlife impacts. These areas can be very remote from local services including supplies, materials, hotels, and limited cellular service. The terrain is steep, overgrown, and rocky. Vegetation includes, but is not limited to, trees such as fir, pine, oak Manzanita, Poison Oak, Scrub Oak and Chaparral.

WORK REQUIREMENTS

The contractor shall work in and around energized distribution lines. Qualified Line Clearance Arborist (QLCA) certification is required. The contractor is required to adhere to all standards, codes and regulations applicable to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or any other required standards applicable to working in and around energized electrical distribution lines.

It is anticipated that work will be completed without the removal of the distribution electrical power lines.
