Project Description:
Project Conditions
The project is located at Yosemite National Park, El Portal, California.
The construction magnitude is $5M-10M.
The surrounding area is rural with limited staging located at pullouts along the roadway.
The project site has significant access challenges due to park visitor traffic and limited road capacity.
The construction site is 109-120 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.
Work restrictions include:
· No heavy construction between March 1st and July 8th due to wildlife protections.
· No daytime work (night work only) between July 9th and Sept 25th to reduce impacts to visitors due to road lane closures.
The site requires protective measures to ensure the surrounding area remains undisturbed.
The project does contain areas of significant natural resources, which will require coordination with Park natural resource compliance specialists.
The project does not cross any known archaeologically sensitive areas, however archeological monitoring will be provided by the park to monitor excavations as needed.
The project does contain work within the culturally significant Wawona Tunnel.
The anticipated period of performance of 160 calendar days including any potential weather shutdown.
Winter construction is not anticipated. The contractor will be encouraged to schedule and staff the project to complete prior to the onset of winter conditions.
Project Scope:
The current overhead electrical and direct bury communication lines that run from the "Powerhouse" location to the Wawona Tunnel are past their useful component life, endangering those who use the tunnel. This project is part of a phased approach to replace the failing components and enhance visitor safety. The work contained in this contract is for Phase IIA and will include the installation of a 8,400lf of new concrete duct bank and installation of (4) 4-inch electrical and communication conduit lines and electric and communication handholes from the north end of Wawona Road at the intersection of Southside Drive to the east end of Wawona Tunnel. Additionally, the replacement of two existing Variable Message Signs (VMS) within Wawona Tunnel will occur within this phase.
