Description:

This project will address deferred maintenance of campsites and paved loops, rehabilitate the utility infrastructure, update the visitor center exhibits and implement ABAAS at the Ohanapecosh District. The historic Ohanapecosh Campground is in the southeast corner of Mount Rainier National Park, on the banks of the Ohanapecosh River. Consisting of eight loops and 188 sites, the low-elevation campground is the largest in the park and serves 40,000 to 50,000 visitors a year, from late May to mid-October. The rushing river, towering old-growth conifers, and an array of geothermal springs have attracted humans to this area for millennia and are still enjoyed by visitors today. Many visitors return to the campground year after year, often staying in the same campsites. Campers range from backpackers and climbers spending one night before a long trip, to large family groups that gather for several days.

The campground area has a layered human history that can be organized into several key periods including pre-contact human history, National Forest development (1906–1921), the Ohanapecosh Hot Springs Resort (1921–1961), National Park Service ownership (1931–present), Civilian Conservation Corps development (1934–1939), and Mission 66 development (1948–1972). Due to its long and varied history, the NPS is in the process of nominating the Developed Area at Ohanapecosh as a National Historic Landmark (NHL) district to the National Register of Historic Places (NR). The NR nomination for the district is currently in draft form and it is anticipated the nomination will be accepted. The campsites, comfort stations, Visitor Center, and amphitheater are listed as contributing structures to the historic district in the NR nomination. For the purposes of this task order they should be considered to have historic significance.

High visitation and extreme weather conditions contribute to the deterioration of this campground. The roadway surfaces are cracked, broken and been patched numerously. The poorly defined campsites have resulted in campers straying further away from the intended camping areas, further damaging vegetation and increasing the wear pattern area of each campsite. The sewer system was installed in the late 1960’s and has aged and deteriorated to the point that inflow and infiltration contribute to it and no longer support the visitors who visit the campground. Other utilities in the area have been partially rehabilitated, but old undersized water lines to the back three campground loops still require intermittent repairs and result in reduced pressure. The secondary electric lines which run to these comfort stations are well past their expected life cycle.

Estimated Price Range: Over $10 Million.

Estimated Period of Performance: 730 days from notice to proceed including mandated seasonal or environmental shutdowns.

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