PART 1 – GENERAL

ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: Executive Order 13693 mandates that National Park Service will reduce or eliminate usage of fossil fuel vehicles service wide. This will increase the number of Electric Vehicles (EV) and hybrid vehicles in the NPS fleet and increase the need for EV charging capabilities. The goal of this project is to install an Level 2 Electric Vehicle charging stations at the White River Ranger Station, Pinnacles Ranger Station, and Northeast Entrance Station in order to support the growing fleet of government owned electric vehicles at Badlands National Park.

1.2 Work Covered by the Contract Documents:

A. Project Location: Badlands National Park, South Unit: Junction of BIA 2 and BIA Highway 27, Porcupine, SD 57772 (Appendix A, Figure 1), North Unit: Pinnacles Ranger Station 24238 Hwy 240 Wall, SD, 57790, (Appendix B, Figure 1), Northeast Entrance Station Support Building, 21024 SD Hwy 240, Interior, SD, (Appendix C)

B. Work consists of: Purchase and install of equipment, material, and labor needed to install dual vehicle, Level 2 electric charging stations at three sites within the Badlands National Park:

1. White River Ranger Station: This site entails excavation of an approximately 65’ trench, 24” deep and 9” wide from the exterior wall opposite of the breaker box on the south side of the White River Ranger Station to the parking area southeast of the building (Appendix A Figure 1-2). Contractor will drill through the exterior wall of the metal building and connect to the breaker panel. Install a concrete pad approximately 24” x 24” x 6” next to the asphalt as shown on site plan and anchor the new Charging station (Appendix A Figure 3). In this trench there will be one 3” glued schedule 40 PVC conduit and one 1 ½” glued schedule 40 PVC conduit installed parallel in the trench, the 3” conduit requires a 4/3 AWG wire for 200-amp copper service and the 1 ½” requires Cat 6 networking cable line for future monitoring and networking of the Charging station. The 1 ½’ conduit will be run into the mechanical room and the required networking cable will be run from the charging station into the building and 50’ of networking cable will be spooled inside the mechanical room. Larger conduits are required for future expansion of charging stations.

The charging station will be fully installed and tested before the COR will accept.

The trench will be back filled with the original soil and compacted to equal the surrounding area. Areas disturbed will be reseeded with native grass seed, provided by the NPS. A park provided monitor must be on site for all ground disturbing activities.

Schedule all excavations with the COR a minimum of 3 business days in advance of excavation.

2. Pinnacles Ranger Station: This site entails excavation of an approximately 128’ trench, 24” deep and 9” wide from the power pole on the East side of the Pinnacles Ranger

Page | 4

Station to the utility pad (Appendix B Figure 1). In this trench there will be one 3” conduit and one 1 ½” glued PVC conduit installed parallel in the trench, the 3” conduit requires a 4/3 AWG wire for 200-amp copper service and the 1 ½” requires a CAT-6 Networking cable for future monitoring and networking of the Charging station. The 1 ½’ conduit will be run to the power pole and the required CAT 6 cable will be run from the charging station to the power pole and 50’ of cable will be spooled on the pole and the conduit will be sealed. Larger conduits are required for possible future charging stations. The conduits will be run under the existing pad and core drilled through it under the new primary charging station. There will also be two 1 ½” conduits run from under the primary charging station to a future second station location approximately 5’ away and be capped at the future location with 4” of conduit protruding from the concrete. All penetrations through the concrete will be grouted and sealed. On the power poll the contractor will install a 6 breaker exterior grade panel with power supplied from the NPS meter and disconnect to allow at least 600 amps. This breaker box will contain one 200 amp breaker and will have space for two more breakers for future expansion. (photographs of the pole and disconnect switch are included in Appendix B) The primary charging station will be fully installed and tested before the COR will accept.

The trench will be back filled with the original soil and compacted to equal the surrounding area. Areas disturbed will be reseeded with native grass seed, provided by the NPS. A park provided monitor must be on site for all ground disturbing activities.

Schedule all excavations with the COR a minimum of 3 business days in advance of excavation.

3. Northeast Entrance Station: This site entails excavation of an approximately 135’ trench, 24” deep and 9” wide from the northeast side of the entrance station, north and around the storage shed, turning southwest along the north side of the building and finally turning southeast towards the parking lot. (Appendix C Figure 1). A small section of the existing sidewalk matching the width of the trench will be removed in order to install the conduits under the sidewalk. In the trench there will be one 3” conduit and one 1 ½” conduit installed parallel in the trench, the 3” conduit requires a 4/3 AWG wire for 200-amp copper service and the 1 ½” requires a CAT-6 networking cable for future monitoring and networking of the Charging station. Contractor will core drill through the exterior wall of the stucco building and connect to the breaker panel to the 3” conduit. The 1 ½” conduit will be core drilled through the building adjacent to the electrical panel inside the utility room and 50’ of Cat 6 cable will be spooled inside the room from the charging station. Larger conduits are required for possible future charging stations. The charging station will be fully installed and tested before the COR will accept.

The trench will be back filled with the original soil and compacted to equal the surrounding area. Concrete that was removed will be replaced with 4000 PSI concrete and tied into the surrounding sidewalk. New concrete will be finished and sealed. Areas disturbed will be reseeded with native grass seed, provided by the NPS. A park provided monitor must be on site for all ground disturbing activities. Schedule all excavations with the COR a minimum of 3 business days in advance of excavation.

C. All work will be performed under a single contract.
