Part 1: Scope/Background/Objective

1.1 Scope of Work

The Contractor shall source and provide approximately 2,300 tons of high-grade virgin class II road base (3/4 minus). Contractor shall arrange delivery to the range pit in Joshua Tree National Park (JOTR) which is located approximately 13 miles from the park’s main headquarters at 74485 National Park Drive Twentynine Palms CA, 92277.

Deliveries will continue until the full 2,300 tons has been received.

Once the contract has been awarded the supplying quarry must be inspected by the park’s vegetation branch to ensure the quarry is free of any invasive weed species that could be transferred to the park during delivery. Upon inspection and clearance from the vegetation staff, deliveries of material will be initiated at the request of the JOTR Roads Foreman or his designee. All vehicles making deliveries will need to undergo a weed free inspection during the initial delivery into the park. The location and time of such inspections will be determined by the Roads Foreman in conjunction with the contractor.

The park’s Roads Maintenance program has been approved to carry out a major shoulder rehabilitation project for Joshua Tree’s East West Highway. Subject matter experts have determined the requested quantity of virgin class II road base (3/4) minus is the minimum to accomplish project goals.

This area of the park is rich with cultural artifacts and has been used by native peoples for 1000s of years.
