Title of Project: GLAC 307440, Replace Headquarters Wastewater & Backup Power Generation

Description:

The project will be completed utilizing a design bid build contract. This project will replace the existing wastewater system in the Headquarters area. The existing collection system was installed over 50 years ago and is now beyond its estimated design life. Replacement of the system includes a reconfigured run of pipes and manholes. Work includes removal of the lift station’s propane generator and its underground propane tank. The existing lift station duplex wastewater pumps will be replaced, and a new telemetry system will be installed. Selective restoration of the lift station building will be performed.

The project will also remove the existing, inadequately sized, natural gas emergency back-up generator outside of Headquarters Building 295. A new generator building will be constructed nearby to house a new, larger natural gas generator to provide backup power for the headquarters building and lift station. Work includes installing a new automatic transfer switch and associated wiring.

Much of the wastewater system in the Headquarters area in West Glacier was installed over 50 years ago and is now beyond estimated design life. Varying degrees of deficiency including sags, root infiltration, and numerous blind-taps were identified in 2013, as part of a condition assessment, utilizing closed- circuit television (CCTV). The system is problematic, requiring significant maintenance time and resources to keep in operating condition. When lines become clogged, maintenance costs are high to unplug the lines. There is significant infiltration from groundwater from the old dilapidated manholes, which unnecessarily increases treatment volumes and costs

The provision of a new generator, automatic transfer switch (ATS), and telemetry system will provide a more reliable lift station. Reconfiguration and replacement of the system will mitigate current concerns related to soil contamination due to failing underground pipe.

The backup power system for the Headquarters building will ensure that critical systems continue to function at the headquarters building at Glacier National Park. Complete power outages are frequent, occurring three to four times per year, with brown-outs occurring even more frequently.

The Park Dispatch Center (PDC) is located at headquarters with a radio system that connects the various geographical locations and operations of the park. The loss of power presents a life and health safety issue as park operations are coordinated by the PDC when communication is lost during these times. The headquarters building is also home to the park’s computer servers.

These servers are integral to the operation of dispatch and park management, serving the park’s computer programs, data, and databases. During power outages, the systems that directly serve the facility are also affected. The HVAC system, including the hot water boilers, is taken out of operation. During extreme cold conditions, the loss of power will shut down boilers creating the potential for freezing of pipes which could cause severe damage to the facility.

Completion of this project will provide consistent emergency back-up power with automatic power transfer. Critical operations will be dependable. Visitor health and life safety will be unimpaired and staff confidence will be increased.

Type of Procurement: It is anticipated that a negotiated firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and price proposal. The government will consider an offeror’s technical capability in comparison to its price.

Estimated Price Range: Between $5M and $10M

Proposal receipt date is not known at this time. The actual date will be established in the solicitation documents
