Project Description:

The project is located at Death Valley National Park, California.

The construction magnitude for Phase II of the project is Greater Than $10 Million - mandatory.

The surrounding area has somewhat limited staging. The NPS anticipates a phased material delivery requirement.

The construction site is approximately 40-60 miles from nearest suppliers and lodging facilities.

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 is 24-30 months including any potential weather shutdown.

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

Winter construction may be required.

Project Scope:

The purpose of the project is to rehabilitate, replace, and upgrade the deteriorating water and wastewater systems in the Furnace Creek and Cow Creek developed areas of Death Valley National Park (DEVA) with newly designed systems.

This project will rehabilitate, replace, and upgrade various components of the water and wastewater systems in the

Furnace Creek and Cow Creek areas. Wastewater system work will include replacing service laterals, correcting pressured force mains and gravity sewer mains, as well as repairing or replacing the manholes and pump stations.

Lagoon improvements will include repairs and upgrades to improve capacity.

Water system work at Cow Creek will consist of developing a new well, reconstructing the reverse osmosis building, upgrading the control system and air quality monitoring equipment, installing a generator and security fence, and rehabilitation of the non-potable system (trunk and lateral lines) in the housing area. At the Furnace

Creek water system, the project will include rehabilitating reservoir access hatch and internal stairs, constructing a chlorination building, and replacing well pumps. Deficiencies with distribution piping and appurtenances will also be addressed.
