About this file

This document outlines technical specifications for precast concrete shower houses to be provided under National Park Service solicitation number 140P6223Q0046. Key requirements include precast concrete components with a minimum 4" wall and floor thickness designed to withstand snow loads of 250 PSF, wind loads of 150 mph, and seismic category 1 earthquakes. The shower houses must have 7 showers including one ADA compliant shower, men's and women's restrooms, heaters, and plumbing fixtures that meet applicable standards. Manufacturers must be ISO and PCI certified and provide stamped engineering drawings, installation, and a one-year warranty. Acceptable concrete, reinforcement, sealants, and coating materials are specified. The precast units are to have simulated wood exterior finishes. This appears to be the technical requirements for precast concrete shower houses to be provided to the National Park Service under the referenced solicitation.
