Bandalier Utilities Project NAICS Code: 237110 Estimated Cost Range: Over $10M Estimated Period of Performance: 10/01/2022 - 09/30/2025 Project Description: The contract is a design-build contract. The National Park Service has hired a design firm (Jacob's Engineering) to evaluate existing conditions, conduct topographic survey, archeological survey, geotechnical testing, hazardous soils testing (in one know contaminated area, DDT), water system modeling and permitting coordination with municipalities (water, power, gas) and develop rehabilitation alternatives. Those alternatives were evaluated through a value engineering process to select a preferred rehabilitation/replacement alternative for each utility. The preferred alternative was then further developed to a 30% design level in order to develop this request for proposal in such that sizing, alignment, scaled distances for each utility is quantified to allow prospective bidders understand performance criteria, construction limits and any other limitations to construction on the monument. The prospective awardee is expected to submit for approval the Denver Service Center, National Park Service workflow requirement for Title II Services: Design Development and Construction Documents. Upon successful acceptance of these deliverables by the NPS, a construction notice to proceed will be issued to allow contractor begin physical construction. This project will rehabilitate/replace Bandelier National Monuments water system, power system, gas system, sewer system and telecom system. Below is some basic background for the project and current concept scope being developed for the RFP and final RFP scope may vary. General Background O There are two distinct areas - Mesa area and Canyon area. O The utilities that are common are the electric, natural gas, fiber (telecom) sewer, and water lines. O The new utilities are either being placed in existing utility corridors or beneath roadways to minimize impacts. O Identification and avoidance of archeologically sensitive areas are a major factor in the final location of the utilities. O The utilities will be constructed within a common utility corridor under the Entrance Road that connects the Mesa area to the Canyon area. This is a narrow road corridor and will require careful consideration of setbacks, utility separation, pipe materials, and preservation of adjacent historic ditches and curbs. O There is a DDT contaminated site in the Canyon area that will require removal and proper disposal of the soil if trenched through. This may influence the utility routing. Wastewater System O No work is being done to the existing wastewater treatment facilities. O The existing main lift station on the Canyon is in good working condition. There is no work for the lift station in this project other than connecting to the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. O The existing main forcemain in the Canyon area will be pressure tested and cleaned. O The existing sewer mains and laterals will be cleaned and inspected via CCTV to determine the condition and to develop rehabilitation recommendations. O Mains will be replaced or relined as needed, depending on the CCTV results. O Laterals will be replaced as needed, depending on the CCTV results. O Manholes will be evaluated and rehabilitated as needed. O A small, packaged lift station will be included to the Comfort Station No. 1 in the Canyon. The alignment options for this lift station forcemain include: Construct beneath overflow parking lot drive from the lift station to the Entrance Road (may include attaching to bridge or horizontal directional drilling (HDD) upstream of bridge) Construct via HDD under creek bed between lift station and existing manhole near Visitor Center main men's comfort station. Water System O The water system includes two distinct areas: low pressure on the Mesa area and excessive pressure in the Canyon area. O Inadequate fire flow and poor water quality are major issues for both water system areas. O Provide increased water pressure to Mesa area via either booster pump station or elevated storage tank. Waiting on water modeling results and alternatives analysis. O All water lines and services within the Monument will be replaced. New distribution water lines to Juniper Campground comfort stations and fill station, amphitheater, and recreational vehicle (RV) dump station. New water distribution and service lines to all Mesa area facilities, including Fire Lookout. Replace service laterals and meters to buildings in the Canyon area. O The waterline main will be located under the Entrance Road between the Mesa area and Canyon area. O Park Entrance alignment options from water utility tie-in to Entrance Road: Parallel NM-4 on south side to Entrance Road on undisturbed Monument property Parallel existing waterline from NM-4 into Albert Squirrel Loop (campground) to Campground Road and then follow under Campground Road to Entrance Road. O Abandon-in-place the underground storage tank and remove existing water piping suspended over the cliff. Natural Gas (NG) System O All NG mains and services will be replaced within the Monument. O Size the new system for projected future buildings in Mesa Housing. O Provide new services laterals to existing facilities and to planned buildings in Mesa Housing. O All existing service regulator/meter assembles to be reused. O Park Entrance alignment options from regulator station to Entrance Road: Parallel NM-4 on south side to Entrance Road on undisturbed Monument property Parallel existing NG line from NM-4 into Albert Squirrel Loop (campground) to Campground Road and then follow under Campground Road to Entrance Road. O Route piping in existing utility corridors and along roads. Route NG lines under Entrance Road from Campground Road to the Canyon by paralleling the new electric and water lines and the existing sewer and electric/fiber. O The distribution system will be a radial system to minimize excavation through sensitive and cultural resource areas. O Abandon gas line piping suspended over the cliff. Telecom/SCADA System O Conduits will parallel the electrical system. O Provide fiber-optic connection from Canyon area to FOC and Entrance Station. O Provide conduits to campgrounds and Mesa Housing. O Use existing conduits from microwave tower to Canyon area. O SCADA fiber will use dedicated strands in the main backbone fiber cables and smaller branch cable to the site. O SCADA will be a completed new system to monitor and display alarm conditions of the water and wastewater systems. O Sites to monitor include: Master PLC, existing water tank on NM-4 and lift stations (main LS in Canyon, Agoya Lane LS, and Comfort Station 1 LS). Electrical System O New overhead primary service from Los Alamos National Laboratory utility corridor along NM-4. O Provide electrical hookups in campground loops. O Upgrade service to amphitheater and Mesa Housing community and replace service to FOC, if needed. O Restore power to Building 1 (Comfort Station); parallel the sewer force main alignment where practical. O Rebuild feed along Agoya Lane - convert overhead to underground, addition of RV electrical hookups along lane. Firms interested in the project should possess the following specialized skills and experience and address these specialized skills and experience in their responses to this Notice, a submission of no more than 3 projects shall suffice to show experience and skills. Contractors shall demonstrate experience with design build projects to include relationships with Architecture and Engineering (A/E) firms and successfully utilizing the design build construction method.
