Title of Project: GLAC 307606 – Swiftcurrent Water Distribution System, Glacier National Park

Description:

This project designed through design bid build procedures will provide for the overall construction to replace the water system at Swiftcurrent on the east side of Glacier National Park. The effort will include removal and replacement of the well pump and main water line from the existing well. A new well will be installed to serve as a second water source and will be connected with a new water main line. The existing water storage tank will be rehabilitated and a new water storage tank will be constructed to ensure the system has adequate fire suppression capacity. A dedicated storage tank supply and distribution main will be added to the system, supporting water systems that serve concessionaires, campgrounds, administrative facilities and picnic areas.

A new telemetry system and new meters will be installed to improve water system monitoring and the chlorination building will be rehabilitated. To further improve system reliability during power outages, a new generator building will be constructed and a new emergency generator with a new automatic transfer switch will be installed. All disturbed areas will be restored to pre-construction conditions.

Where asbestos cement pipe is found or if existing underground pipe conflicts with the design of the new system it will be demolished, and disturbed pavement and natural landscape areas will be restored. This includes the access road to the storage tanks.

The existing water system in Swiftcurrent was installed over 50 years ago and is well beyond estimated design life. These underground pipe systems supply various concession properties, a campground, multiple residences, and a picnic area, serving over 100,000 visitors per year.

Concessions properties include a motel, rental cabins, a restaurant, and a general store. Equipment http://www.sam.gov/ is aged and failing. Existing leaks are reported, requiring maintenance staff to spend limited time and funding, chasing leaks from location to location, including the loss of approximately 20,000- 30,000 gallons of water per day, with unknown cause. The current systems were installed with single points of failure. A single point of failure is a part of a system that, if it fails, will stop the entire system from working. At current design, the water system capacities are insufficient to meet current or anticipated demands for domestic water provision or fire protection. Fire flow minimums are not attainable due to inadequate existing pipe size. Through completion of this project, the Park will have a reliable water system for approximately 50 years. Deferred maintenance of this system will be eliminated. Improved fire flow of the water system will add to the protection and preservation of historic structures in the area. The health and safety of visitors and employees will be improved through the establishment of a reliable fire protection capability.

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: More than $10M

Estimated Period of Performance: The anticipated period of performance of 609 calendar days after notice to proceed.

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

A pre-proposal meeting will be is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, June 20, 2024 beginning at 10:00 a.m. Location information will be posted with the full solicitation package.
