Canyon Lakes Ranger District Operator in Responsible Charge Water System Management IDIQ Statement of Work

General: All work performed under this Statement of Work shall be in compliance with all appropriate local, state, and federal rules, regulations, codes, and laws.

Period of Performance: Time of contract award (BASE - June 30, 2019 - May 31, 2020) with up to four (4) option years.

Scope of Work: The work covered by this Statement of Work shall include a variety of water system management activities for four water systems on the Canyon Lakes Ranger District of the Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests.

The four water systems are located at the Red Feather Work Center (2), the Stub Creek Work Center (1) and the Arrowhead Visitor Center (1). See the attached spreadsheet for directions and GPS coordinates.

There are two water systems at the Red Feather Work Center. The Red Feather Work Center is a seasonal administrative site typically open from May to October. Red Feather Work Center Water System #1 is considered a transient, non-community (TNC) water system. The system consists of a 300’ deep well, submersible pump and controls, one woven cartridge filter unit, chlorine pump and tank, two hydro pneumatic storage tanks, and a distribution system that serves 4 buildings and an RV site. This water system has had a history of poor water quality due to its proximity to a staging area for mountain pine beetle pesticide mixing. The existing well was drilled in 1990 but subsequent water tests required additional monitoring wells to be drilled and monitored. As such, a new well was drilled in 2014. It will be connected to a new water system during scheduled construction in 2019.

The existing 300’ deep, 6-5/8” diameter well is located near the work center entrance. Water from the well is pumped via a submersible pump to the pressure tanks/filtration/chlorination components located in the basement of the Office Building #303. The water flow is controlled by a pressure switch.

There is a chlorinator/chlorine solution tank on site for the water system and a fitting in the supply line to accommodate chlorine injection.

The storage system consists of two hydro pneumatic storage tanks which provide a total storage capacity of approximately 184 gallons.

Water flows to the distribution system to serve the 4 buildings and RV site. It is assumed that the main lines drain back to the basement utility room in building #303.

2019 Update: Red Feather Work Center Water System #1 will be under construction in 2019. Improvements to the water system include decommissioning the existing 300’ deep well and utilizing the well drilled in 2014. A submersible well pump will supply a 5,000 gallon storage tank located within a new utility building. A chlorine injector will be in place prior to the storage tank in the event it becomes necessary. Water flows through a booster pump and (2) 62 gallon pressure tanks before leaving the utility building and connecting to the existing distribution system. The distribution system serves 4 buildings and 4 yard hydrants.

Red Feather Work Center Water System #2 is considered a transient, non-community (TNC) water system as well. The system consists of a 191’ deep well, submersible pump and controls, above ground polyethylene storage tank with water level probes, booster supply pump, one woven cartridge filter unit, chlorine pump and tank, hydropneumatic storage tank, and a distribution system that serves 3 buildings.

The existing 191’ deep, 4-1/2” diameter well is located east of the old large bunkhouse #301. Water from the well is pumped via a submersible pump to the above ground polyethylene storage tank located in the Engine Cache Storage Building #309. Water is controlled by floats in the above ground tank. A booster supply pump pumps water to the distribution system and has associated pressure tanks/filtration/chlorination/valve components prior to entering the distribution system. Water flow from the above ground storage tank is controlled by a pressure switch.

There is a chlorinator/chlorine solution tank on site for the water system and a fitting in the supply line to accommodate chlorine injection.

The water then flows from the Engine Cache Storage Building #309 to the distribution system and to the remaining 2 buildings.

The Stub Creek Work Center is a seasonal administrative site typically open from June to October. The Stub Creek Work Center Water System is considered a transient, non-community (TNC) water system. The system consists of a 112’ deep well, pump house with submersible pump and controls, above ground polyethylene storage tank with water level probes, booster supply pump, chlorine pump and tank, hydropneumatic storage tank, and a distribution system that serves 3 buildings. The existing well was drilled in 1999.

The existing 112’ deep, 4-1/2-inch diameter well is located southwest of the intersection of roads NFSR 193.0 and NFSR 193.4. Water from the well is pumped via a submersible pump to the above ground polyethylene storage tank located in the pump house. Water is controlled by floats in the above ground tank. A booster/supply pump pumps water to the distribution system and has associated pressure tanks/filtration/chlorination/valve components prior to entering the distibution system. Water flow from the above ground storage tank is controlled by a pressure switch. A flo-logic leak alarm system is installed in the pump house to detect leaks within the water system.

There is a chlorinator/chlorine solution tank on site for the water system and a fitting in the supply line to accommodate chlorine injection.

The water then flows from the pump house to the distribution system and to the remaining 3 buildings.

The Arrowhead Visitor Center is a seasonal administrative and recreation site open from May to September. The Arrowhead Visitor Center Water System is considered a transient, non-community (TNC) water system. The system consists of one well, one submersible pump, two 350-gallon hydro pneumatic storage tanks, one chlorination system, approximately 1000 feet of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) piping, 15 points of use, and one identified drain. The Visitor Center is located in the Poudre Canyon, approximately 50 miles west-northwest of Fort Collins, Colorado along Colorado State Highway 14.

The 140’ deep, 6-5/8” diameter well is located approximately 30 feet southwest and up gradient of the Visitor Center building. The depth of the well intake interval is from 70 feet to 140 feet below ground surface. The well casing extends approximately 15 inches above the natural grade and is not surrounded by a concrete slab. The well cap seal has a rubber gasket and is secured with a padlock. The well location is open to public access, as it is not secured in any building or fenced area. The well location is not subject to flooding. The well was installed in 1995.

The submersible pump is installed in the well and is operated through a pitless adapter. The storage system consists of two 350-gallon hydro pneumatic storage tanks located behind the Visitor Center. From the well, water flows through a flow meter and pressure gauge into one 350-gallon hydro pneumatic storage tank. The second 350-gallon hydro pneumatic storage tank acts as a reservoir and stores water. Water then flows towards either a hot water heater for Visitor Center use, or towards a chlorination system for external use. The treatment system consists of one 35-gallon chlorination tank and one Pulsatronic Electronic Metering pump. Chlorine is added to the water upon exiting the storage tank.
