- Project Vicinity Map PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION Description of Work - Work shall be performed on roads #3130, #31302 and Welch Fire Trail Road. Work shall consist of road reconditioning, furnishing and placing Erionite Free aggregate, furnishing and installing a 16' cattleguard with concrete bases, end wings, object markers and bypass gate, and furnishing and installing a new pipe gate and other related road work. Work also shall be to furnish and stockpile 4 sets of concrete bases and four 16' full width cattleguard grids with end wings, and object markers. Contractor shall remove the existing gate and other related items. All removed items shall become the property of the Contractor and shall be disposed of in a lawful manner off of National Forest System Lands. UPDATE 8/6/15: All three roads combined are approximately six (6) miles in length. Note: When using the Forest Service concrete form for cattleguard bases. If ordering the grid and wings from Cow Country Equipment in Rapid City, it is recommended to order the "Montana" style grid and wings or the contractor shall have to customize the wings to fit within the grid and form. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to customize and fit the wings to the grid if any other cattleguard manufacturer is used. The cattleguard installation is located on Road #3130 at the Forest Boundary. The location will be staked by the Government. All other cattleguards shall be stockpiled at the office trailer pad located off of road #3120 or other location approved by the COR. The gate installation is located on Road #3130 and will replace the existing damaged gate near the intersection with Road #3120. The location will be staked by the Government. Project Location - The project is located on the Sioux District, Custer Gallatin National Forest. The Site is approximately 100 miles north of Belle Fourche, South Dakota, 25 miles north of Buffalo, South Dakota, and 30 miles south of Bowman, North Dakota. The Site can be accessed by turning west off of U.S. Highway 85 onto the Tufte Road, 2 miles north of Ludlow; then turning left on the Riley Pass Road which turns into Forest Service Road (FSR) #3120 at the National Forest boundary. The main access roads within the Forest boundary are Forest Service Roads #3120 and #3130. OSHA Certification - The Contractor shall provide written documentation that the onsite project manager and all other employees engaged in the work has received the Occupational Safety and Health Administration 40 hour Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Training required under 29 CFR 1910.120. The Contractor must provide copies of certifications, including annual refresher training certifications, prior to issuance of notice to proceed which is estimated to be issued 2-3weeks after award. The Contractor shall utilize only onsite personnel that have completed HAZWOPER training when work is being performed. Vendors delivering supplies to the site are not required to complete HAZWOPER training. Completed HAZWOPER training is not a condition of award but shall be completed prior to issuance of notice to proceed, thus this will need to be coordinated and scheduled in a manner such that it will not impede progress on the awarded contract. If HAZWOPR training is not already complete at time of bidding, evidence of scheduled training shall be submitted with the contractor's bid package indicating completion by the estimated notice to proceed issuance time frame. Erionite - The Tufte Road, a portion of road #3120, and other roads in the project area may contain Erionite, a zeolite mineral that, in its fibrous form, may have properties similar to asbestos. Erionite may pose health risks to those who breathe in the fibers. The Contractor shall take measures to mitigate the risk of airborne exposure from sediment and Erionite. All aggregate imported to the site shall be tested by the Contractor and shall be non-detect for Erionite by the Polar Light Microscopy (PLM) method. Contractor shall submit test results showing pit location, name, and lab test results before any aggregate is imported to the site. UPDATE 8/6/15: Two known and tested sources of erionite free material are: Fisher Sand & Gravel of Spearfish, SD and Hills Materials of Rapid City, SD. Other sources may exist and it is incumbent upon the Contractor to locate and have the materials tested ensuring "non-detect" for erionite content. Price Range - Between $500,000 and $1 Million per FAR 36.204(e) Pre-Bid Tour - A pre-bid tour will be held for those interested in viewing the project. The majority of road #3130 and #31302 are behind a locked gate. Bidders not attending the tour will not be granted driving access and will have to walk in order to view the roads. All bidders are encouraged to visit the project site. For additional contract information contact David Shimek, COR, at the Billings Office Custer Gallatin National Forest at (406)255-1422 for contract information.
