Abstract:

We are pleased to extend an invitation to industry to participate in the National Park Service (NPS) Denver

Service Center (DSC) upcoming Industry Day event for the Replacement of the Tuolumne Meadows

Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). This event presents a unique opportunity for potential contractors and subcontractors to directly interact with the NPS to gain insights into the upcoming solicitation.

This announcement is to gage interest in the number of Contractors and Subcontractors who are interested in the project, while also providing an opportunity to visit the park and provide input for the development of the project requirements. The industry day also provides an opportunity for engagement with key stakeholders, organizational understanding, information dissemination, and teaming opportunities.

Project Scope:

This project will replace an extended aeration wastewater treatment plant and associated infrastructure, that is more than 50 years old. The infrastructure includes two disposal ponds, a force main that connects the

WWTP to the disposal ponds, and effluent spray field, and a recreational vehicle dump station. The existing plant will be demolished, one pond will be replaced with an enclosed holding tank, the other pond will be demolished, the force main will be replaced, and a recreational vehicle dump station replaced. The existing treated effluent disposal spray field equipment will be replaced with new lower maintenance spray equipment.

The new treatment plant will provide modern primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment components and solids handling capability. The wastewater treatment plant operates from May to October with an average flow of 60,000 gallons per day.

Period of Performance: The anticipated period of performance is multiple summer seasons. Access to the project site is typically available June through September, depending on snow and weather events.

Procurement Schedule: The solicitation for the project is scheduled to be posted in Spring 2025.

Magnitude of Construction: Greater Than $50M
