Background Information: Kelleys Island Glacial Grooves Background Information A National Natural Landmark, the Glacial Grooves on the north side of Kelleys Island, Ohio are the largest easily accessible such grooves in the world. Of Devonian limestone, the Glacial Grooves Geological Preserve contains marine fossils that are 350 to 400 million years old. They were scoured into the solid limestone bedrock about 18,000 years ago by the great ice sheet which covered part of North America. Over the years, many grooves were uncovered, only to be quarried out. In 1982, a section of quarry land was set aside to preserve one of the last grooves, the visible section of which is 400 feet long, 35 feet wide and up to 10 feet deep. This Ohio History Connection (OHC) site is managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Parks & Watercraft. Kelleys Island Glacial Grooves Outdoor Exhibits and Signage The goal of this project is to provide an enhanced interactive educational experience to visitors of the Glacial Grooves Geological Preserve. The Preserve is located adjacent to Kelleys Island State Park and the North Shore Alvar State Nature Preserve which includes portions of the original quarry. The site is a very popular destination for both patrons of the nearby campground and visitors to the Island in general. This project, undertaken in partnership with OHC, is being led by ODNR and through this Request for Proposals, ODNR intends to engage a designer and fabricator of various outdoor exhibits and signage at the Geological Preserve. Both the exhibits and signage are to be coordinated with a concurrent project that will focus on surface water issues, invasive vegetative growth in and around the grooves, improvement of walkways/trails, safety railings, and handicapped accessibility. ODNR has engaged an engineering firm to provide professional design services and construction administration for the sitework project. The designer/fabricator of the outdoor exhibits and signage is being engaged during the design stage of the sitework project to allow for collaboration and coordination between the two initiatives. The installation of the outdoor exhibits and signage will be the responsibility of the designer/fabricator and that work will be coordinated with the sitework design team and contractor. Address for Project Location 739 Division Street Kelleys Island, OH 43438 Scope of Work The scope of work for this project includes the design, fabrication, and installation of 7 outdoor interactive educational opportunities at the Glacial Grooves Geological Preserve site. These “education stations” should be designed to incorporate information that can be easily understood by a variety of age groups and education levels. This site has unique features and a layered history—geological, glacial, and cultural that should be explored and included in both the information offered and in materials used in the creation of the displays. Offerors are encouraged to propose the use of materials that reflect and enhance the both the natural history of the site and the cultural history of the activities that occurred on the site and the Island. The project team has identified locations along existing and proposed new pathways and observation platforms. (See attached site plan.) These locations have been prioritized into the base contract scope of 7 education stations. Additional locations and proposed educational content that could be captured as alternates as time and budget allow have been included as well. Existing interpretive materials already installed at the site are to be repurposed and integrated into the additional content being developed. (See attached photos.) These freestanding signs could be relocated on the site or panels could be removed and reinstalled into new kiosks/signage/monuments, etc. Potential educational display concepts for the Kelleys Island Glacial Grooves Outdoor Exhibits and Signage See attached table and associated site plan for proposed locations of “education/knowledge stations” around the site. Special Considerations • The existing site interpretive content currently featured in the site panels is to be integrated into the new content being developed. • ODNR Division of Geological Survey and the Ohio History Connection have copy text and graphics that can incorporated into the displays directly or can be edited or enhanced by the offeror, however the offeror will be expected to work with the team on researching additional information. • This location is unstaffed. Client seeks displays that will be self-explanatory as well as feature interactive and passive components that are not easily damaged or removed from the premises. • This is an outdoor location that is exposed to the typical weather conditions of the western Lake Erie basin. Materials selected for the displays will be exposed to direct sunlight and associated heat, rain, snow, and icy conditions and thoughtful use of materials that will withstand those conditions should be demonstrated. • The timeline for the outdoor exhibits and signage must coordinate with the schedule for the sitework project. The timeline for the Outdoor Exhibits and Signage is listed below: Anticipated Notice to Commence Services July 19, 2021 Design Completion September 27, 2021 Design Review and Approval October 15, 2021 Mobilization Anticipated April 15, 2022 Completion September 1, 2022 • The offeror shall incorporate owner review and approval timeframes in its plans to achieve the above timeline. • Offeror will attend design progress meetings with the site work design team and contractor, as needed. • It is highly suggested that offerors research transportation requirements with local ferry operators prior to submitting. Offerors will provide the following: • Explain your firm’s understanding of the client’s objectives with this project and the approach you will use to meet those objectives. • Examples of creative, visually interesting, and interactive outdoor educational displays designed and fabricated by your firm (provided via web links or as attached photos). Include how display style meets the requirement for being interactive. Examples of past work, sketches or preliminary ideas that relate to the proposed content and education station locations per the attached content matrix, site layout and supplementary materials regarding the Kelleys Island Glacial Grooves site. • A list of the proposed materials that could be used to create the displays and how those materials could be used to engage multiple age groups and educational levels. • Experience and qualifications that highlight relevant work – specifically any for museums, nature centers, or national/state/local park organizations. Share primary reasons the offeror should be selected for this project. • Plan to achieve milestones included in the timeline for project that includes key dates and activities, such as design process, material purchase, fabrication, assembly, and installation. • Table of organization for design team and project manager’s experience. Also, name of company and staff who will build, and install all displays, if different from the design team. • Offerors shall include a one-year guarantee on workmanship and a one-year warranty on materials. • Offerors shall include a price proposal for the seven (7) education stations included in the base bid. Proposals shall be broken out into cost for design, cost for fabrication, and cost for installation that are then combined into a total cost for the project. Site Visit Prior to submitting a bid response, offerors are encouraged to visit the Glacial Grooves Geological Preserve, adjacent to Kelleys Island State Park, 739 Division Street, Kelleys Island, OH 43438. The site is open to the public. Once a contract is awarded, failure of the bidder to make a site visit to become familiar with the facility and requirements of the bid will be insufficient reason to support any request to be released from the contract.

  • Ground Water Pollution Potential of Lake County, Ohio
    GROUND WATER POLLUTION POTENTIAL OF LAKE COUNTY, OHIO BY LINDA ALLER AND KAREN BALLOU GEODYSSEY, INC. 1991 REVISED BY KATHY SPROWLS 2013 GROUND WATER POLLUTION POTENTIAL REPORT NO. 8 OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF SOIL AND WATER RESOURCES WATER RESOURCES SECTION i ABSTRACT A ground water pollution potential map of Lake County has been prepared using the DRASTIC mapping process. The DRASTIC system consists of two major elements: the designation of mappable units, termed hydrogeologic settings, and the superposition of a relative rating system for pollution potential. Hydrogeologic settings incorporate the major hydrogeologic factors that control ground water movement and occurrence, including depth to water, net recharge, aquifer media, soil media, topography, impact of the vadose zone media, and hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer. The relative ranking scheme uses a combination of weights and ratings to produce a numerical value called the pollution potential index that helps prioritize areas with respect to ground water contamination vulnerability. Hydrogeologic settings and the corresponding pollution potential indexes are displayed graphically on maps. Lake County lies within the Glaciated Central hydrogeologic region. The county is covered by variable thicknesses of glacial till, lacustrine deposits, beach ridges, and outwash. These unconsolidated glacial deposits are underlain by shale bedrock that is capable of supplying only small quantities of ground water. Pollution potential indexes are relatively low to moderate in areas of till or lacustrine cover over bedrock. Buried valleys containing sand and gravel aquifers, and areas covered by outwash and beach ridges have moderate to high vulnerabilities to contamination. Nine hydrogeologic settings were identified in Lake County with computed ground water pollution potential indexes ranging from 80 to 197.

  • Depositional Environment, History, Diagenesis, and Petroleum Geology of the Cleveland Shale Member, Northeastern Ohio
    DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT, HISTORY, DIAGENESIS, AND PETROLEUM GEOLOGY OF THE CLEVELAND SHALE MEMBER, NORTHEASTERN OHIO Saeed S. Alshahrani A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE December 2013 Committee: Dr. James Evans, Advisor Dr. Jeffrey Snyder Dr. Sheila Roberts II ABSTRACT James E. Evans, Advisor The Cleveland Shale Member is the uppermost member of the Ohio Shale that was deposited on the western edge of the Catskill Delta. This delta is underlain by middle and upper Devonian strata. The sediments were derived from the Acadian Mountains that were formed as a result of a collision between the Euramerica plate and the Europe plate at about 390 Ma. Because of the rise of the Acadian Mountains, large volumes of sediments were eroded and delivered to a marine environment called the Appalachian Basin. During the Late Devonian period, the Ohio Shale was deposited in that basin. This study is based on lithofacies analysis from three outcrops located around the city of Cleveland and from five well cores obtained from four counties in northeast Ohio. There are 161 samples collected from the outcrops and the well cores. A total of 33 thin sections, 11 from sandstones and 22 from mudstones, were prepared and analyzed to determine the textural properties, sedimentary structures, and microstructures. In addition, 12 samples were analyzed using SEM methods for mineralogy, surface textures, and microfacies analysis. Paleocurrent analysis is based on 56 measurements from groove casts located at the base of tempestites, and these indicate flow direction from NE to SW.

    THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE VOL. XLVI SEPTEMBER, 1946 No. 5 THE GEOLOGIC INTERPRETATION OF SCENIC FEATURES IN OHIO1 J. ERNEST CARMAN Department of Geology The Ohio State University TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE Introduction 241 Some basic facts and principles 243 Gorges of Greene County 247 Hocking County park region 262 Lake Erie Basin and Islands 279 INTRODUCTION To the geologist there are no everlasting hills. The relief features of the earth's surface as we find them today are the result of the work of geologic agents, such as running water, wind, glacial ice; working by geologic processes such as weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition; on geologic materials, the rocks; through long intervals of geologic time. An even sky-line in a rugged region, a level bench on the side of a valley, an asymmetrical ridge and similar features, all have meaning and invite interpretation. Everyone may experience pleasure in seeing the beautiful colors, the symmet- rical forms, or even the fantastic shapes in scenic features but if one may also interpret and decipher the origin and history of these features, how much greater the pleasure and satisfaction derived, and the increased appreciation of the scenic features. The Grand Canyon of the ^Colorado as a scenic feature is beautiful in color of rock material and impressive in magnitude, but the Grand Canyon as the work of the river which occupies it; downcutting and dissecting during 10 to 20 million years; exposing in this downcutting, rock units which differ in lithology, in structure, age and origin;
