Z -- WATERSHED RESTORATION AT REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK, CA SOL 1443-IB-8530-98-012 POC Kris Swofford, Contracting Officer, 415/663-8522, ext 230 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Contracting Officer via, Kris_Swofford@nps.gov. Furnish all labor, equipment, materials and supervision necessary to accomplish watershed restoration on approximately 2.1 miles of the M-8, M-Spur and M-Line and in hillslope areas above the roads in the Tom McDonald and Redwood Creek watersheds at Redwood National Park, approximately 32 miles south of the town of Orick, Humboldt County, CA. The project includes excavating road fill from stream channels, pulling back side-cast road fill, decompacting roads, retrieving and burying debris from logging and other activities, and restoring the original configuration of the land (ridges, stream valleys and swales) along the road corridors, including spreading the topsoil, forest duff and organic matter encountered during excavations on the finished surfaces. The nature of the work generally requires bulldozers to push fill up steep slopes and shape/finish slopes while side-hilling, and excavators to excavate fill and shape/finish slopes while sitting on steep slopes. The equipment will need to be used on steep terrain and in difficult working conditions. Access to the M-8 and M-Spur will require installation of at least 2 culverts (Gov't provided) at stream crossings, and will require blading a road around a failure (approx 200 ft). Operator skill and dexterity is required to minimize access impacts over steep irregular ground. Heavy equipment work is generally limited to 50-55 hours per week and will only be permitted during daylight hours. It is expected that a Notice to Proceed will be issued the first week of August 1998, requiring the contractor to start work within 5 days of receipt and complete within 90 days thereafter. The estimated price range is between $250,000 and $500,000. The Invitation for Bid will become available mid-late June with a due date 30 days after issuance. Interested parties may submit a written request for solicitation to the attention of the Contracting Officer at the Point Reyes address above or by facsimile to (415) 663-8132. All responsible sources may submit a bid which will beconsidered. (0155)
