This is currently an unfunded requirement with a high expectation that funds will be available. When and if funds become available a contract will be awarded at that time.

The NAICS Code for this requirement is 236220 with a size standard of $45 million.

This project is for GRSM 149368, Rehabilitate Sugarlands Headquarters and GRSM 149285 – Rehab Sugarlands Water and Wastewater Systems. The project is located at Great Smoky Mountains National Park, TN. The construction magnitude is over $10,000,000.

This project is for the rehabilitation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Headquarters Campus at the Sugarlands Visitor Center Area in Gatlinburg, TN. The project includes the restoration, rehabilitation, and upgrade of the existing Headquarters building in the Sugarlands Historic District and the construction of associated new utilities for water and wastewater to serve these buildings and the Campus.

The surrounding area is rural with limited staging located at the existing Headquarters parking areas. There are no unique material delivery requirements. The construction site is within 25 of miles from the nearest suppliers and lodging facilities. The Headquarters building will not be occupied during construction, but nearby Park buildings remain open, thus contract activities and logistics must be structured and scheduled to minimize visitor impact. The site requires protective measures to ensure the surrounding area remains undisturbed. The Sugarland Headquarters building is a historic resource.

The anticipated period of performance of 550 calendar days including any potential weather impacts.

Winter construction may be required.

Project Scope:

For the existing Headquarters building, a primary project requirement is to upgrade the building HVAC system, and replace electric service panels and components. HVAC upgrades will include replacing plumbing, air conditioning, heating and ventilation, and insulation to meet current codes; and installation of a fire detection and suppression system. Electrical upgrades will include increasing service by replacing the existing service panel with a 600-amp panel; replace sub-panels on the first, second and third floors; replace existing wire and install code compliant conduit; and improve fluctuating grounding systems. The rehabilitation of the facility’s electrical system will meet National Electrical Code requirements for safety and reduce the current maintenance commitment. Additionally, information technology lines and equipment will be provided to a new IT room.

The project will also rehabilitate interior/exterior building finishes, including not limited to: stabilize the foundation, repoint stone masonry; repair roof leaks and damages to roofing material; repair the exterior porches; mitigate the asbestos, radon, lead paint, flammable surfaces and egress problems; and mitigate bat, rodent, and insect intrusion. Exterior finishes requiring rehabilitation include stone masonry, wood timbers, windows, and slate tile roofing. Interior finishes requiring rehabilitation include wood panels, tile, and marble elements. All work performed will be sensitive to the historic fabric.

Accessible access to all three floors will be accomplished via the addition of an elevator and the rehabilitation of restrooms.

Other components of the scope of the project includes the demolition of the existing Little River Ranger Station with the removal of hazardous roofing material.

The work to rehabilitate the water and wastewater systems includes, but is not limited to:

· Replace existing water mains with new HDPE pipe. Some utility alignments are in existing roadways and will require pavement removal and replacement as well as bridge crossings over short spans.

· Installation of water service lines to park residences and administrative buildings.

· Install new valves throughout the system.

· Replacement of fire hydrants.

· Replacement of equipment at RV dump station.

· Abandonment of existing system in place.

· Backfilling, re-grading, and seeding.

· Expansion of existing pump house including relocation of electrical equipment.

· Residences will be occupied during construction and the existing water system will remain in operation until the new system is brought online.

Sanitary Sewer:

· Rehabilitation of existing 6” and 8” gravity sewer pipes and manholes (e.g. lining).

· Select pipe replacement and reconnection.

· Select manhole replacement.

· Backfilling, re-grading, and seeding of disturbed areas.

Estimated Price Range: $10M or more
