Project Description:

Project Conditions (see samples below, tailor/add/delete per project - work with PM/PS, note any logistical/cultural/historic considerations here):

The project is located at Glacier National Park, Montana.

The construction magnitude is over $10,000,000.

The surrounding area is rural with limited staging areas.

Note any unique material delivery requirements.

The Park will remain open during construction, 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 anticipated period of performance of 1095 calendar days including any potential weather shutdown.

There are seasonal/other shutdowns mandated through the construction season.

Project Scope:

This project will be completed utilizing a design-build contract. This project will replace the water system at

Swiftcurrent. The effort will include removal and replacement of the well pump and main water line from the existing well. A new well will be installed to serve as a second water source and will be connected with a new water main line. The existing water storage tank will be rehabilitated, and a new water storage tank will be constructed to ensure the system has adequate fire suppression capacity. A dedicated storage tank supply and distribution main will be added to the system, supporting water systems that serve concessionaires, campgrounds, administrative facilities, and picnic areas.

A new telemetry system and new meters will be installed to improve water system monitoring, and the chlorination building will be rehabilitated. To further improve system reliability during power outages, a new generator building will be constructed and a new emergency generator with a new automatic transfer switch will be installed.

All disturbed areas will be restored to preconstruction condition.
