PROJECT SCOPE: This project will rehabilitate the Headquarters East water system which includes the Moraine Park Campground (MPCG) water distribution systems. The project will address sewer pipes, manholes, the well, water treatment system, and water tanks serving the campground, Beaver Meadows Visitor Center, Park HQ East, and High Drive. This project will also replace the MPCG above-ground primary electrical distribution lines; address drainage issues at campsites; improve accessibility at campsites, comfort stations and vault toilets; rehabilitate a ranger station and entrance kiosk; add food lockers to campsites; add electric hookups to approximately 25 percent of campsites; add traffic calming improvements to roadways; add a third host site; add parking to the admin loop; and relocate campsites away from wetlands.

The Park Headquarters East Water System and MPCG provides camping opportunities and potable water and fire flows/storage for campers staying at the 244 summer and 77 winter campsites, five comfort stations, ranger station, concessionaire- operated livery, park seasonal quarters, and private in-holder residence. The majority of the existing water distribution system and water storage tanks were installed in 1965 and are well past the components typical service life of 30 years. Repairs to the existing galvanized steel and cast-iron distribution at Moraine Park have become more frequent. The waterlines and components of the Moraine Park Water System are in very poor condition, primarily due to age and deferred maintenance. Several portions of the system are not buried to the appropriate depth and are thus subject to freezing and require monitoring to prevent problems.

PROJECT CONDITIONS:

The project is located at Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. The area is rural with limited staging, 35 of miles from nearest suppliers, lodging facilities, unique material delivery requirements, etc. The Park will remain open during construction thus contract activities and logistics must be structured and scheduled to minimize visitor impact. The site requires protective measures to ensure the surrounding area remains undisturbed. The anticipated Period of Performance (POP) of 730 days includes potential weather shutdown. Winter construction may be required.

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

ESTIMATED MAGNITUDE OF CONSTRUCTION: In accordance with FAR 36.204, the project magnitude is more than $10,000,000.

PROCUREMENT TYPE: The Government anticipates negotiating and awarding a single firm-fixed price contract to meet this requirement.

SET-ASIDE: This acquisition is Full and Open Competition.

NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE AND SMALL

BUSINESS SIZE STANDARD: The NAICS code for this project is 237110 and the small business size standard is $39,000,000.

BONDS: In phase 2, those firms short-listed will be required to submit a bid bond for 20% of their total proposed price. After contract award the successful offeror shall be required to provide performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract award price.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The contract performance period is expected to be 730 calendar days following contract award.

PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE / SITE VISIT: It is anticipated that a Pre-Proposal Conference / Site Visit will be scheduled during phase 2 of the source selection process. It is currently anticipated the site visit will be conducted on or around 11/15/2021. Specific details regarding the site visit will be provided in the Phase

2 RFP.
