GENERAL 1.1 GENERAL CONTRACT DESCRIPTION General Overview: This procurement will result in the award of a firm-fixed price design/build contract. The project can be broken into three main components; historic mitigation, landscape repairs, and restoration of various nature trails. The historic mitigation is part of an effort by the Navy to develop a historical interpretative program to increase awareness and appreciation of the historic and archaeological resources within NAS Pensacola and, in particular, the significant developments in Naval warfare represented by the historic properties that are or were located within the Nation Historic Landmark District. The program shall have a focus on interpreting the history of Naval Aviation and of NAS Pensacola for military personnel and the public, through the use of such means as interpretive displays and signage. To that end, the project will provide a minimum of three new pedestrian plazas containing wayside exhibits and focal static exhibits, lighted walkways/sidewalks, and other site improvements and incidental related work in the vicinity of and along the existing seawall walkway on NAS Pensacola. All new improvements shall complement and commemorate the National Historic Landmark District. Two of the plazas shall be able to seat a minimum of 15 people, while a third larger plaza will be able to seat a minimum of 50 people. The larger plaza shall also provide space to accommodate at least 200 persons for special events. Development of the plazas, wayside exhibits and monuments shall require consultation with the Florida State Historic Preservation Officer, coordinated through the Navy. The contractor shall provide bronze, granite, or other appropriate material for wayside exhibits and placards. The inscribed or cast text and graphics on the wayside exhibits and placards will be approved by the Navy. The project, where appropriate, will incorporate historic features such as the Building 47 smoke stack, terracotta rosettes, and other salvaged elements/artifacts from other historic buildings that have been demolished. All work performed will be in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), as amended, and implementing regulations under 36 CFR Part 800; the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (STANDARDS); and other applicable Federal, state and local laws, regulations and guidance documents The project will re-establish the landscape and grounds on NAS Pensacola, NAS Whiting Field, NTTC Corry Station and Saufley Field to robust, context appropriate, pre-Hurricane Ivan state, including, but not limited to, the removal of trees that have been damaged to the point that they are no longer viable, the removal of stumps and snags, the removal of vegetative debris, and provision of needed restoration of the vegetative landscaping (including, but not be limited to, trees, shrubs, and groundcovers) that was adversely affected by recent hurricanes throughout the activities.
