This Project Statement of Work and Specifications document outlines the requirements for the "MORA - Longmire Conduit Install" project at Mount Rainier National Park, scheduled for June 2026. Developed by the National Park Service (NPS) Division of Administration & Business Services, the project’s primary purpose is to establish underground fiber optic connectivity to NPS facilities on the south side of the Nisqually River within the Longmire operations center. The scope of work is limited to installing approximately 2,200 linear feet of conduit, pull tape, and five subsurface handholes across three distinct geographic sections. It excludes the subsequent phase of fiber optic cabling and electronic equipment installation. Key technical specifications require 3-inch Schedule 40 rigid PVC conduit, detectable tracer wire, and composite, traffic-rated handholes. Contractors must adhere to strict park-specific work restrictions. Notably, the Longmire Suspension Bridge has a 3-ton gross vehicle weight limit, requiring heavier equipment to utilize a 22-mile detour via the Longmire back gate road. Additional operational mandates include strict environmental protection measures (such as vehicle power-washing to prevent invasive species introduction), daily trash removal to protect native wildlife, and a requirement for archaeological monitoring during all ground-disturbing activities. Contractors must submit comprehensive safety, quality control, and scheduling plans prior to a preconstruction conference and the issuance of a formal Notice to Proceed.
