Project Details:
Denali National Park and Preserve
Front Country Water & Sewer Rehabilitation for Riley Creek and Entrance Area
NAICS Code: 237110
Estimated Cost Range: $1 million - $5 million
Estimated Period of Performance: May 2019 - August 2019

Project Description
The proposed work consists of water and sewer utility replacement for a portion of the Riley Creek Campground and sewer improvements along the entrance road in the Front Country area of Denali National Park and Preserve. This includes:
1. The installation of approximately 1700 feet of 3 inch by 10 inch, arctic pipe HDPE water main plus water service laterals.
2. The installation of approximately 4000 feet of 8 inch by 15 inch, arctic pipe HDPE sewer main plus related sewer laterals, as well as approximately 20 manholes.
3. The installation of ancillary heat trace and electrical connections related to the water and sewer installations.
The project site is located along the entrance area of the Park where all road traffic must pass and the most used campground area of the Park. The project will require consideration for the visiting public and related traffic control, including protection of visitors and employees during work. Additionally, consideration of minimizing the excavation footprints and efficient management of spoils will be critical. It is likely that some portions of the work, such as road crossings, may require night work to avoid daytime road closures.
