The National Park Service is seeking a contractor to provide field services for the El Portal Wastewater Treatment Plant (EPWWTP) adjacent to Yosemite National Park. The primary goal is to replace the bent and misaligned framework and appurtenances of the secondary clarifier, which are essential for the proper functioning of a recently installed gear drive and seals. The plant, operational since the 1970s, treats up to 1 million gallons of wastewater daily and is at risk of violating state permits due to the deteriorating steel framework.
The project scope includes removing existing key components for access, preparing the tank surface, applying a new epoxy coating, and installing a replacement framework mechanism to ensure operational reliability. The timeline for completion is set at 120 days, with all materials needing to be delivered to the NPS warehouse prior to commencement. This initiative underscores the commitment to maintaining public health and environmental standards within Yosemite National Park, addressing infrastructure needs that align with the National Park Service's mission to preserve national heritage sites.
The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking a field service contractor to replace the steel framework and outriggers of the secondary clarifier at the El Portal Wastewater Treatment Plant (EPWWTP) near Yosemite National Park. This facility treats wastewater from Yosemite Valley, with treatment capacity reaching up to 1 million gallons per day. Due to 50 years of aging infrastructure, the mechanism holding the recently replaced gear drive box has become misaligned and brittle, threatening compliance with California State Permit CA0081759 and risking wastewater spills.
The project's scope includes the removal of existing infrastructure, preparation of the tank surface, re-coating with high build epoxy, and installation of new framework mechanisms. Key dimensions and specifications for materials are provided. The NPS anticipates the project will be completed within 14 weeks, given that parts are shipped to their warehouse prior to service. The initiative underlines the commitment of the NPS to maintain the functionality of essential public utilities while adhering to environmental regulations and standards.
The document is an amendment to the solicitation numbered 140P8525Q0005, issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI, NPS). The primary purpose of this amendment is to update the Statement of Work (SOW) for the replacement of the clarifier mechanism, ensuring the secondary clarifier is fully operational. Key changes include the replacement of an earlier SOW titled "Statement of Work – Secondary Clarifier Framework Mechanism 2025" with an updated version, designated as "Updated Secondary Clarifier Framework Mechanism 2025 SOW." Additionally, the closing date for the solicitation has been extended from February 24, 2025, to February 28, 2025, allowing potential contractors more time to submit their updated quotes. Contractors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment in order to ensure their offers are considered valid before the new closing time. Overall, this amendment is part of the standard contracting process, aimed at enhancing clarity and participation in the procurement process for government contracts.

The National Park Service seeks field services for the El Portal Wastewater Treatment Plant (EPWWTP) to replace the framework mechanism and appurtenances in the secondary clarifier. The facility, which serves Yosemite Valley and El Portal, processes up to 1 million gallons of wastewater daily, but aging infrastructure has led to the degradation of the clarifier's framework. Immediate replacement is necessary to prevent potential wastewater spills, which would violate California state permits. The scope includes removing old equipment, installing temporary supports, and fabricating new framework components, while reusing some existing structures. The fabrication of new steel parts is projected to take up to 12 weeks, followed by a 2-week installation period. All materials should be delivered to the NPS warehouse before the service begins. The document serves as a Request for Proposals (RFP) aimed at contractors who can fulfill these service needs while ensuring compliance and mitigating environmental risks associated with wastewater management at a critical national park site.
