1.0 OVERVIEW & PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project will make repairs to and recoat the Fish Creek water tank. Constructed in the 1960s, the Fish Creek water tank is an above-ground 35,000-gallon welded steel structure that is approximately 20’ diameter by 15’ height. The tank stores potable water for the Fish Creek Campground, a 177-site seasonal campground on the west side of Glacier National Park.

The tank is in generally good condition, but the coating is showing signs of deterioration. Corrosion and steel pitting is evident along the welded steel seams, beams, columns, and walls on the interior and exterior of the structure. Regular maintenance of the structure is essential for the safe, continued operation of the system per Montana DEQ requirements in DEQ Circulars 1, 3, and 16. The Contractor shall make repairs to and repaint the water tank according to Section 3.0 Scope of Work. All interior surfaces will be blasted, repaired, and recoated. All exterior surfaces that show signs of deterioration will be repaired and recoated.

The Fish Creek Water Tank tested negative for lead-based coatings. Lead coatings were removed from the tank in 2010 to 2011 by construction contract.

All field work is to occur at the Fish Creek water tank. The water tank is accessed by navigating to the Fish Creek Ranger Station (1099 Fish Creek Campground Road, West Glacier, MT 59936), then turning left onto the gravel Inside North Fork Road, continuing 0.4 miles to the Rocky Point Trailhead parking area on the left, then continuing past a gate and 0.5 miles up a gravel road to the water tank.

The Fish Creek Campground is open from roughly mid-May to Labor Day each year. Work shall be completed in the shoulder seasons while the tank is drained.

There are two Contract Line Item (CLIN) for this project – CLIN#1 covers all interior tank work, and bid option item CLIN#2 covers all exterior work. CLIN#1 is the base bid, and CLIN#2 will be awarded based on price at the discretion of NPS. A lump-sum bid price shall be provided for each CLIN and shall include all preparation, mobilization, facilities, management, supervision, labor, subcontracts, equipment, materials, tools, testing, commissioning, training, permitting, insurance, bonds, taxes, and other costs incurred to complete the requirement as defined under Section 3.0 Scope of Work.

Refer to Section 2.0 Existing Conditions for a description of the existing conditions for the CLIN. Refer to Section 8.0 Attachments for a list of materials and data provided by NPS.
