Title of Project: Replace Non-Compliant Lodgepole Water Treatment System, Sequoia – Kings Canyon National Park, SEKI 172423

Description:

The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate a non-compliant surface water treatment system with a compliant system. The scope of work includes construction services associated with rehabilitation to a non-compliant surface water treatment system to a compliant system, which located in Lodgepole developed area of Sequoia National Park. Additionally, the rehabilitated surface water treatment facility will meet current and projected surface water quality requirements, and a reliable, efficient and code compliant water system will allow the park to meet the challenges of climate change with dryer weather and increased fire danger likely to continue in the future.

Project Scope: The proposed project includes but is not limited to the following scope of construction:

· A new Lodgepole water treatment plant, in a new building with dual conventional treatment trains including winter shut-down/spring start-up capability including local dial-up alarms/notification systems.

· Decommission and remove the existing water treatment plant equipment and rehabilitate the existing building.

· Install a 4-inch diameter interconnecting line and associated tank level controls, connecting from the Wolverton distribution pressure zone water line in the Generals Highway to the Lodgepole Reservoir’s fill line to add the capability to fill the Lodgepole water storage reservoirs from the Wolverton system.

· Remove the existing Pressure Reducing (PRV) equipment, vault, and related piping (near the Lodgepole Visitor Center), currently used to connect the Wolverton pressure zone to the Lodgepole pressure zone.

· Rehabilitate the Silliman Creek water intake facilities.

· Electrical Utility Design and Installation.

Potential options that may be incorporated into the scope of construction are:

· Provide SCADA communication to connect the Lodgepole water treatment plant to the existing utility SCADA system.

· Reconstruct the Lodgepole water storage reservoir’s overflow pipe system to eliminate the connection to the sanitary sewer system.

· Replace Existing Pressure Sustaining Valves in two existing vaults.

· Replace the Lodgepole Water Storage Reservoir Access Hatches and rehabilitate the deteriorated exterior concrete along the upper edges of the reservoir’s valve vault.

· Replace gate valves in the Lodgepole Reservoir valve vault.

· Construct a new 8-inch diameter water main for the housing and administration complex.

· Replace buried fire hydrants with above-ground conventional fire hydrants.

· Reconstruct asphalt paving.
