Project U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Statement of Work: GAOA Shell Falls Wayside Primary Power Location: The Shell Falls Wayside Site is in the Bighorn National Forest approximately 26 miles east of Greybull, and 69 miles west of Sheridan, along U.S. Highway 14 in Bighorn County, Wyoming. The site legal description is the East ½ Section 7, T53N, R89W.

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

The intent of the contract is to provide for the complete construction of the project as described in the contract. The project requires the contractor to be responsible for supplying all labor, materials, equipment, miscellaneous items, freight, delivery, and all necessary valid licenses and permits required to complete work identified in the construction drawings and project specifications.

The US Forest Service (USFS) plans to make improvements at the Bighorn National Forest, Shell Falls Wayside addressing the site’s primary power supply. This project aims to address on-site generated power, wastewater system revisions and water system reinstallation.

The power, water and wastewater improvements at Shell Falls Wayside will be implemented in one Base Bid that is broken into four work schedules:

1. Mobilization

2. Site Water & Wastewater

3. Prefabricated Building

4. Power with PV Solar Panels, Battery Bank & Generator.

The main Shell Falls Wayside project components in the Base Bid consist of: mobilization, demolition, 200 SF prefabricated utility building, 1000 gallon buried propane tank, generator, photo voltaic (PV) solar array, battery bank, rehabilitate one (1) septic tank, rehabilitate five (5) wastewater holding tanks, water pump replacement, ultraviolet disinfection replacement, fencing, and revegetation.

2.0 Background

The original wayside complex (visitors center, restroom, plaza, trails, etc.) was built primarily in 1976, coinciding with a

4.0 mile underground primary power line that provided 7200-volt power to the site. Original utility development upgrades were completed in 1997 and included robust water and wastewater systems. From about 2004 to 2006 additional site work upgrades occurred for the entrance road parking, the facility, and trails.

Some past power and wastewater system repair/replacement design work was conducted from about 2015 – 2018.

These past projects were a response to problems that began to occur with the aging system. Primary problems are reportedly the failure of the wastewater treatment system in 2015 and power outages from breaks in the buried power line in 2018.
