Design: completion of field surveys, hydrology caculations, preliminary designs, and preparation of construction documents (including site plans, details, supplemental specifications if needed, detailed schedule of items) and cost estimates. 2. Construction: demolition of existing facilities, modification of existing facilities, and construction of new facilities. Many construction elements include restrooms, campsites and picnic sites, ramadas, pedestrian paths, concrete pavement, and a trailhead. The contractor awarded this project must work closely with a forest service engineer and landscape architect to complete design work and construction. Information within the project description and conceptual drawings will indicate existing elements to remain, items to be modified, and new facilities needed. Conceptual sketches will show recommmended locations of facilities, however the contractor designer will be required to visit the project site and become familiar with the area, its natural setting, site features, visitor needs, accessibility, and susceptibility to wildfire and flood. Design considerations and existing landscape features must be intergrated so that construction impacts are minimized and natural form, color, and material characteristics are incorporated and highlighted. The contractor design team will receive periodic input from a forest service design team (landscape arhitect, engineer, and a recreation specialist) within the expectation of establishing a communicative and cooperative relationship for the term of the contract. The contractor designer will provide a preliminary, then a final design with government approval of all design decisions prior to construction and with all designs becoming property of the government.
