SCOPE OF WORK FOR THIS CONTRACT Major scope items for this Contract are listed as follows. Efforts have been made to achieve a reasonable level of completeness however the following list should not be considered exhaustive. All attached and referenced design documents are incorporated and made part of the bid documents. 1. It is assumed that the site developer will terminate their SWPPP permit for the larger developed campus area. This will occur on or around the time of transfer of ownership for the smaller site pad used by this Project to GP&L. The intent is to initiate a new SWPPP permit to cover the period of construction. GP&L must be listed as the ultimate owner but the successful bidder on this Contract will be the named entity on the new SWPPP permit. The site will be graded with BMP's already in place according to the previous SWPPP permit held by the site developer. It will be the responsibility of this Contract to perform reporting and monitoring duties as well as to make any repairs required along the way. 2.

The Owner is providing anchor bolts and steel. The geotechnical report is included for reference. Note the site is rocky with a soft limestone rock and effectively no topsoil cover. 3. The site will be provided graded and with 8" of flex base material already installed. This is intended to provide a workable and weather resistant surface to support the construction efforts of this Contract. 4. The site will be provided with high security fence already in place. This will provide a secure construction site and limited laydown area. Should additional area beyond the high security fence be needed for laydown, storage, parking, construction offices, etc. this will be the responsibility of this Contract. Note that the high security fence will be provided initially with the motorized gate unpowered. It will be manually operable along with the other 2 access gates.
