About this file
This is a Project Specifications document for the Yellowstone National Park Modular Housing Units (YELL 326141) project, prepared by the National Park Service Denver Service Center as 100% Final Construction Documents dated August 2026.
The project encompasses procurement and construction of modular employee housing across three government areas within Yellowstone National Park: Canyon Village (northwest of Canyon Village along Grand Loop Road and Norris Canyon Road, Wyoming), Northeast Entrance (3.5 miles west of Cooke City, Montana along US Highway 212), and Mammoth (Mammoth, Wyoming along US Highway 89). The scope includes site improvements such as clearing, grading, roadway construction, drainage, and utility installation for electrical, telecom, potable water, fire suppression, and sanitary sewer systems. Nine standard modular building units and one ADA-compliant unit are required at Canyon; one standard and one ADA-compliant unit at Northeast Entrance; and three standard units plus one ADA-compliant unit at Mammoth. Payment is structured as lump-sum contracts for site improvements and per-unit pricing for modular buildings across the three locations. Key contract requirements include strict environmental compliance with protections for whitebark pine, Ute ladies-tresses, grizzly bears, Canada lynx, yellow-billed cuckoos, wolverines, monarch butterflies, and Suckley's cuckoo bumble bees; adherence to NPS project management software for communication and document sharing; submission of detailed construction schedules using Critical Path Method; and compliance with archaeological resource protection and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act provisions. The contractor must obtain necessary permits, coordinate with multiple utility providers (Northwestern Energy, Flathead Electric, Century Link), and manage construction operations within designated work hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) unless approved otherwise. Additional requirements include equipment inspections prior to park entry, material sourcing from recently inspected gravel pits, comprehensive waste management planning, indoor air quality management, stormwater pollution prevention, and bearing of all costs related to bear management actions resulting from improper garbage or food handling. The specifications detail extensive Division 1 general requirements, division-specific work requirements covering concrete, metals, wood, thermal protection, openings, finishes, equipment, and utilities, with appendices containing categorical exclusion documents, biological opinions, geotechnical reports, and environmental permits.

To the extent feasible, avoid using pesticides or herbicides in monarch butterfly habitat that could result in direct mortality or eliminate host and nectar plants. If pesticide application is necessary near monarch butterfly habitat, select chemical formulations specific to the targeted pest, time applications to avoid monarch activity periods, establish buffers, and minimize drift to non-target areas by direct ground application. All chemical formulations shall be approved by the Contracting Officer.
9. WOLVERINE Conservation Measures: Contractor shall participate in orientations on how to avoid disturbing or encountering wolverines and other wildlife, including regulations regarding vehicle speed limits, food storage, disposal of garbage and other attractants, and approaching or harassing wildlife. \Any observation of wolverines within the proposed action area shall be reported to the Contracting Officer and appropriate action would be taken to reduce potential effects.
10. All equipment and tools shall be cleaned completely prior to entering the work zone to prevent the spreading of invasive species. Equipment shall be inspected for compliance.
11. All erosion and sediment control devices shall be adequately maintained to ensure continued performance of their intended function. Those that have sustained damage or have reached their capability shall be replaced or maintenance performed.

13. Work crews shall adhere to bear safety and food storage regulations.
YELL326141 01 11 00 - 9
14. If previously unknown archeological or paleontological resources are discovered, all ground disturbing activities within the immediate vicinity (300 ft) shall be halted and the Park Archaeologist and Contracting Officer notified immediately.
15. In the event human remains or other items that fall under the purview of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) are discovered, all work on the Project must stop and the Contracting Officer and Park Archeologist contacted immediately. As required by law, the coroner will be notified first. All provisions outlined in the NAGPRA (1990) will be followed.
16. To avoid impacts to migratory birds during the nesting season, vegetation or tree removal activities shall occur outside of March 1-August 15th for raptors and May 1-August 15th for songbirds. If within the March 1 � August 15th window a nest is suspected, because of observed structures or behaviors (e.g. large collections of sticks or smaller plant material in trees, birds carrying food into nest-like structures), the Contracting Officer shall be notified to ensure coordination with the NPS Bird Program Manager.
17. Project shall comply with NPS and Yellowstone National Park lighting guidelines. This will include but is not limited to low-level lighting, minimized glare, downward focused light fixtures, and energy efficient light sources.
18. To minimize the amount of ground disturbance, staging and stockpiling shall be located in previously disturbed areas if possible. All staging and stockpiling areas shall be approved by the Contracting Officer and returned to pre-construction conditions following construction. Fencing is required around construction zones and staging areas.
