SPECIAL NOTICE -Industry Day Attachments

The National Park Service is conducting a pre-solicitation Industry Day for two major infrastructure projects at Grand Canyon National Park: the South Rim Wastewater Treatment Plant replacement (GRCA 257282) and the North Rim & Roaring Springs Rehabilitation Program (GRCA 318719). The South Rim project involves constructing a new 0.65 million gallons per day treatment facility using Membrane Bioreactor technology, including headworks building, process building, administration and maintenance buildings, emergency generator, and associated site utilities. The North Rim project encompasses comprehensive utility infrastructure replacement including approximately 18,700 feet of water pipelines using directional drilling, a new 100 gpm water treatment plant with two 150,000-gallon raw water tanks, wastewater treatment plant rehabilitation, sanitary sewer piping replacement totaling 14,547 linear feet, and power distribution upgrades with solar installation. Key contractor qualifications include requiring a Process Instrumentation and Control System Integrator with at least 10 years of experience for the complex SCADA and control systems integration. The Industry Day was held on June 10, 2025, with a follow-up survey deadline of August 11, 2025, and an additional site visit planned for the week of August 25th.

This procurement opportunity carries no set-aside designation and represents a substantial infrastructure investment with an estimated construction magnitude exceeding $100 million. The Industry Day attracted eleven representatives from five companies including SEI, Tepa, GSE, Perini Management, and PCL, indicating significant industry interest in these projects. The anticipated procurement timeline extends through first quarter 2026 for solicitation release with award expected in fourth quarter 2026 or January 2027. The projects will utilize Design-Bid-Build construction methods and are considering either a combined contract approach or two separate contracts to manage specialized work requirements. Construction is expected to span approximately four years and will include complex logistical challenges such as helicopter-supported access for inner-canyon work, seasonal work restrictions, and coordination with ongoing National Park Service operations. The contractor will also be responsible for managing multiple support facilities including 12 RV sites for worker housing, construction staging areas, and specialized equipment laydown areas within the park boundary.
