Statement of Work (SOW)

The US Geological Survey (USGS) at the Tunison Laboratory of Aquatic Science requires construction and resurfacing of parking areas to address increased demand due to staff relocation.

• Develop two new gravel parking lots and resurface one existing gravel parking lot.

• Locations are identified on the "Tunison Parking Locations with Design Notes 26June25.pdf" site map (Areas A, B, and C).

• Tasks include removing existing soil, grading, compacting, laying geotextile fabric, and placing new gravel.

• Area C requires the installation of a new powered fence gate with a keypad lock.

• Contractor must coordinate with the USGS Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for lot arrangements and traffic management.

• Gravel depth must be a minimum of 6 inches after compaction.

• Geotextile fabric underlayment (or equivalent) is required below the gravel.

• Gravel type specified is 22A crushed stone.

• The COR will witness placement and compaction.

• Contractor must provide 22A crushed stone engineered fill tickets to the COR.

• Not explicitly stated, but the location is 3075 Gracie Rd., Cortland NY.

• Coordinate parking lot placement and construction impact with the COR.

• Protect and correct any damaged site areas.

• Over-seed damaged grass areas.

• Clean asphalt surfaces after gravel placement.

• Ensure areas for gravel placement do not require reinforcement of existing soil; coordinate any exceptions with the COR.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document provides a site plan detailing temporary parking locations and associated design notes for the USGS Tunison Site. It serves as a visual guide and specification for site preparation and construction related to these parking areas.

• Site Plan: Illustrates three distinct parking areas labeled A, B, and C.
• Area A Design Notes: Includes instructions for tree removal, re-grading to specific slopes (6% or less for 90-degree parking), installation of geotextile fabric or equivalent underlayment, and compacted granular fill (min. 6" depth). Approximate area is 4410 SF.
• Area B Design Notes: Similar to Area A, with instructions for re-grading, geotextile fabric installation, and compacted granular fill (min. 6" depth). Approximate area is 5400 SF.
• Area C Design Notes: Includes removal of an existing fence gate and three trees, installation of a powered rolling gate with a keypad lock, and an overlay of granular fill over the existing parking lot (min. 2" depth). Approximate area is 5100 SF.
• General Site Information: Depicts roads, buildings (Upper Lab, Lower Lab, Garage, Pole Barn), raceways, culverts, and topography.

This document is crucial for bidders to understand the physical scope of work related to establishing temporary parking areas. It outlines specific site preparation tasks, material requirements (geotextile fabric, granular fill), grading specifications, and the installation of a new gate system. Bidders will need to incorporate these details into their proposals, including cost estimations and project timelines, to accurately address the requirements for site work at the USGS Tunison Site.
