The NAICS Code for this requirement is 237110 with a size standard of $45.0 million.

Description:

The existing Old Faithful Water Treatment Plant (OFWTP) was constructed in the early 1980s and much of the facility is past its useful life. It is the only potable water treatment system available within the Old Faithful developed area and supplies potable water for domestic services and fire protection. The water treatment plant is a conventional water treatment plant involving rapid mix, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection. The concentration of arsenic fluctuates seasonally and occasionally reaches high levels that are difficult for the plant to remove. The current design of the plant does not allow for consistent arsenic removal without continuous monitoring and adjustments by plant operators, which has led to issuance of an administrative order by the EPA for corrective action by NPS. Additionally, there are major concerns with the security and condition of the plant’s raw water intake structure that need immediate attention.
