STATEMENT OF WORK PROVIDE PROPANE ZION NATIONAL PARK

December 12, 2023

I. INTRODUCTION:

The National Park Service has a requirement for propane to be delivered to Zion National Park to be used for the Park’s shuttle bus service facility. This is a supply requirement for ongoing supply of propane. Approximate annual requirement will initially be about 40,000 gallons as the park transitions from a propane fleet to a fully electric fleet, then adjust down to about 16,000 gallons annually in the future for use in facility equipment and a backup generator. The requirement will be to furnish all labor, protective equipment, materials, loading, hauling, unloading, and equipment to provide propane to the existing 30,000-gallon propane tank at the Zion National Park Bus Maintenance Facility.

II. BACKGROUND:

Zion National Park provides shuttle service to millions of visitors each year. The shuttle fleet used to transport visitors is currently powered by propane, but in 2024 the park will be transitioning to fully electric. The maintenance facility will continue to use propane to fuel for various heating and operational elements, and the fleet chargers will be tied to a propane-fueled backup generator, so there will be a retained need for propane to be delivered.
