Project EMERGENT WATER SYSTEM REPAIR of WAPITI RANGER STATION

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

This project consists of leak detection and repair of suspected potable water line and valve failures. Exact quantities of line repair and valve replacements needed is unknown at this time but estimated at 5 supply/shut off valves and nearby pipe. See background below for additional information.

The base items will require removal and replacement (in kind) of the valves/curb stops highlighted on the map, as well as diagnosing for any additional leaks after completion.

The option items will be for any additional repairs required after completion of the base items and testing of the repaired system.

1.1 SOI

(Wapiti Wayside shut off valve)

(Wapiti Wayside drain valve)

(well house drain valve)

(Wapiti RS office valve)

(Wapiti RS house valve)

(E flat top drain valve)

(Wapiti RS mainline valve)

* Mobilization item to include mobilizing all equipment/personnel to the site and any bonding required.

** Exact quantities of additional water line and valve replacements needed is unknown at this time and to be determined from base item completion.

*** Not to exceed 10 hours. Will require a repair plan as a deliverable before moving to option items and further work.

2.0 Background

On 4/18/2025 the field technician was advised there was no water coming to the Wapiti Wayside, the Wapiti Campground and the living quarters at the Wapiti Ranger Station. Upon investigation, water was discovered at the Wapiti Wayside Rest, surfacing near the building and at two of the valve locations, Wapiti RS office supply valve and Wapiti Ranger house. Site investigation discovered that the well had gone through 82,000 gallons since being turned on 4/9/2025. In an attempt to narrow down the source of the leak to the water system for Wapiti Wayside Rest, Wapiti Campground and Wapiti Ranger station, the following was discovered:

· Wapiti Wayside Rest supply line broken/leaking at shut off valve. (3” PVC line/valve depending on where the break is) Valve replacement in kind.

· There are three valves in close proximity, and it may be worth replacing all of them while in the area

· Campground well house drain valve is frozen closed. (3” PVC line/valve depending on where the break is) Valve replacement in kind.

· Wapiti Ranger Station office supply line broken/leaking at shut off valve. Supply valve tube filled with water. (2” PVC line/valve depending on where the break is) Valve replacement in kind.

· Wapiti Ranger Station house supply line broken/leaking at shut off valve. (2” PVC line/valve depending on where the break is) Valve replacement in kind.

· Blow out valve beyond the E Flat Top to the East of the building is frozen closed. (1.5” PVC line/valve depending on what is in the ground) Valve replacement in kind.

· Pipes leaking interior to Wapiti Wayside Rest. (Unsure of extent since water was shutoff before tracing to exact leak locations in the building) Pipe/line diagnosis and repair plan.

In order to temporarily mitigate some of the issues, the valve supplying the Wapiti Wayside Rest, Wapiti RS office and the Wapiti Ranger house have been shut off. Closing these valves diverted water to the Wapiti Campground in order to continue providing water to the public. Water was diverted from the irrigation system to the Wapiti Ranger Station and tested to be potable, in order for our personnel (male and female) to be able to shower with scheduled times at a single location in the Wapiti Ranger Station until the water system is fixed.
