Work will be performed concurrently at two campground sites, with specific deliverables including 6 campsites at Little Jackass Campground and 7 campsites at Placer Campground. The contract requires strict adherence to work hour limitations (Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM), fire safety protocols during California's fire precautionary period, and environmental protection measures, with all work to be completed in the Sierra National Forest in California.
