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.

    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.

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.
