Project Description & Scope: This requirement is located at Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument in Hagerman, ID (Gooding County) and Minidoka National Historic Site in Jerome, ID (Jerome County). The surrounding area is rural in nature, with limited staging room available. The Park will remain open during construction, therefore, contract activities and logistics must be structured and scheduled to minimize visitor and operational impact. While the structures are not considered historic resources, the building at HAFO contains important natural and cultural resources that require protection, and both project sites will require protective measures to ensure the surrounding areas remain undisturbed. Winter construction may be required and weather-related shutdowns may be expected through the winter construction season.

To serve the existing building (approximately 5,320 square feet), a new +/-323 SF pump house and 70,000 gallon water tank will be constructed. Finishes on the existing building will be repaired to the extent needed to facilitate new fire suppression. New pump house design is in keeping with the style and materiality of the existing building – slab on grade with wood frames walls, interior gypsum board finish with ceiling open to structure.
