Title of Project: Rehabilitate Salt River Visitor Contact Station, CHRI(SARI)‐251127

Description: The existing Salt River Visitor Contact Station buildings were substantially damaged by Hurricane Maria and are to be fully renovated. The renovation will involve the complete demolition of all existing structures to floor slab elevation and reconstruction of new buildings on the existing foundations. The new buildings will have significant changes in their structural, interior and exterior design and will include new visitor center, educational, office and interpretive spaces to provide a more functional facility for park visitors and staff. The demolition of the buildings and proper disposal of all materials will require the contractor to be familiar with materials handling, hauling, recycling and disposal laws and regulations specific to the U.S. Virgin Islands. The reconstruction of the buildings will involve repairs to the existing cast‐in‐place concrete foundations, the placement of new reinforced cast‐in‐place structural concrete, construction of new CMU walls, and construction of all new building systems to include roofs and roof structures, framing, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, interior and exterior wall assemblies and finishes, windows and doors, etc. The installation of a new photovoltaic system and a new security system will require the contractor to provide qualified personnel to install these systems. The project will also involve site work to include new utility service connections, new sanitary sewer lines and a new septic system, and repairs and upgrades to the existing driveway and parking lots; as well as landscaping throughout the site which will require knowledge and experience with native grass and plant species and the local planting seasons. There is a limited amount of space for construction staging and storage on site, so the contractor will be required to have experience in proper scheduling and sequencing of work activities and material deliveries so as to minimize on‐site coordination conflicts. The project is located on the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and due to its location, the successful completion of this project will require the contractor to have experience and capabilities in performing the work in a remote location with difficult access to construction and building materials and skilled labor personnel. The contractor will be required to successfully manage materials shipping, delivery, customs and other logistics challenges, and will also be required to manage how to hire, house and retain the necessary labor forces to perform the work over the life of the project. The contractor must also have the ability to coordinate with territorial government agencies and local utility service providers in order to obtain all necessary permits and approvals.
