Bonding: The NPS anticipates bid, performance and payment bonds will be required

Project Description:

Project Conditions:

-The project is located at Lake Clark National Park and Preserve in Alaska.

-The construction magnitude is between $5M and $10M.

-The construction site is in a remote area of Alaska, with limited access to suppliers and lodging.

-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 365 calendar days including any potential weather shutdown.

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

-Winter construction may be required.

Project Scope:

This project will include housing units to replace buildings lost in fire in 2020. This may include the construction of two triplex units, or potentially the construction of one triplex unit and up to 5 modular, prefabricated 1-bedroom housing units. This project will also include construction of the roads, water, sewer, and electrical service which will connect to the existing roads, wellhouse, and wastewater treatment facility.

This project will encompass the following tasks:

Building (2) triplex residences located within the Port Alsworth Complex utilizing the National Park Service housing prototype designs and modifications done in schematic design. The building will be maintenance friendly and constructed to be energy efficient. The building will be connected to the existing water and wastewater system and have fire suppression. See site layout below:

As mentioned above, the project may also include 5 modular, prefabricated 1-bedroom housing units instead of one of the triplexes. This is dependent on NPS’s budget.

Extend gravel road in the Port Alsworth Complex to serve the structures detailed above. Extend water, wastewater, and electricity services to serve the structures detailed above.

All construction shall be constructed for all seasons in the south-central Alaska climate. Due to the shortened construction season, buildings will be rapid and/or modular construction design. Construction shall also be designed to maximize energy efficiency and with resilient building materials to extend the useful life of the new buildings.
