4. North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code: 237310 and Size Standard: $45M

Project Description: This project would improve the parking area that provides access to the Old Pinnacles and Bench trails. The Old Pinnacles Trailhead Parking Area currently serves approximately 30 automobiles daily and provides two oversized vehicle parking spaces. In addition, the parking area serves as a shuttle stop for the park’s alternative transportation system.

This project would greatly enhance the park visitor experience by providing a well-maintained parking surface that is functionally striped and is fully compliant with Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards (ABAAS). This project would also prevent costly leaf spring repairs that have occurred on shuttle buses due to driving on uneven surfaces thereby increasing employee satisfaction and efficiency of the NPS-run alternative transportation system. The parking area was surfaced with a chip-seal build-up method which had insufficient base and has broken up and eroded. Gravel patches and repairs are numerous throughout the parking area. The irregular surfaces are a significant tripping hazard to visitors and employees as they enter and exit their automobiles and walk to the trailheads. In addition, the road surface contains numerous potholes and large, disintegrated patched areas. The poor condition of the parking area makes uniform striping and clear traffic definition for vehicle and pedestrian separation all but impossible.

This project also includes installation of a shuttle stop-maintained landscape (sidewalk, staging area, and shade structure with benches), relocation of the existing trailhead kiosk/wayside exhibit, and extension of 1,000 linear feet of water line. The parking area currently serves as a disorganized shuttle stop where visitors are unsure where to wait. This project will create a designated and accessible space, improving the park-run alternative transportation system.

Additional work includes installing two new trash and recycling containers on 4 feet x 6 feet concrete pads, replacing the existing leased portable toilet with a 400 square foot fully accessible (ABAAS) prefabricated vault toilet, and installation of a pre-cast 1,000 gallon holding tank. The exterior of the building would have an extended overhang and wood like appearance to match other new vault toilets in the park. This project would greatly enhance the park visitor experience by providing a well-maintained, sustainable restroom facility and designated shuttle stop fully compliant with ABAAS. In addition, extending water to this site and providing a shade structure will improve visitor safety at a park that experiences extreme summer temperatures.

Currently, one leased portable restroom serves the Old Pinnacles Trailhead. A new, prefabricated vault toilet facility will reduce overall operations and maintenance costs due to the planned elimination of the monthly rental fees and weekly contracted servicing (pumping). The parking area currently serves as a disorganized shuttle stop where visitors are unsure where to wait. This project will create a designated and accessible space, improving the park-run alternative transportation system.
