The project involves extending the existing floating boat dock at Packard Creek Campground in Oakridge, Oregon, in accordance with the Oregon State Marine Board's Layout and Design Guidelines For Recreational Boating Facilities. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor and equipment for mobilization, sitework, the installation of steel piles, and the construction of floating docks. The government estimate for the work is between 25,000 and 100,000 dollars, and the successful offeror must provide alternative payment protection for 100 percent of the contract amount before starting. The project has a contract duration of 90 calendar days, with an estimated start date of October 18, 2010. Technical requirements include specific gabion basket installations and adherence to detailed project drawings and site surveys. Because the work takes place within the Willamette National Forest, the contractor must comply with strict fire protection and suppression regulations, including the creation of a fire plan and adherence to Industrial Fire Precaution Levels. Additionally, all labor must be compensated according to the Oregon Highway Construction Wage Determination for prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits.
