The Project Manual outlines the rehabilitation of the water treatment system at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Saratoga National Fish Hatchery in Saratoga, Wyoming. The project, managed by CTA Architects Engineers, involves the demolition and removal of existing pumps, UV treatment units, drum filters, packed/sealed columns, a standby generator, pipes, damaged CMU blocks, bar grating, and dissolved oxygen/water level/water temperature sensing and alarm systems. New installations include concrete equipment pads, a bar grating platform with guardrails, pumps with variable speed drives, an open channel UV system, drum filters, a gas management tower, piping, a standby generator, CMU blocks, solid platforms, FRP paneling, and new sensing and alarm systems for dissolved oxygen, water temperature, water level, and radon detection. The document details administrative procedures for substitutions, contract modifications, payment, project management, coordination, and construction progress documentation, including photographic documentation. The project emphasizes adherence to schedules, quality requirements, and safety protocols while the facility remains operational.

The US Fish and Wildlife Saratoga NFH (140FGA26Q0012) released a Q&A document addressing various aspects of a solicitation, including project scope, technical specifications, and administrative deadlines. Key clarifications include confirming existing wells are the underground water source, specifying carbon steel for piping replacement, and detailing requirements for well pump electrical stabilization. The Q&A also sets the bid due date as April 1st, confirms a 60-day bid validity period, and outlines upgrades for 2,000 gpm pumps, requiring column pipe replacement and discharge pipe reconfiguration. The UV system requires a minimum of 80% transmittance and 126 mJ/cm^2 dosage, with whirling disease as a primary concern. Electrical upgrades and 10-inch piping for the discharge train are necessary to accommodate the increased pump capacity. Structural supports for the new piping system are also detailed, with three floor jack stands and two hangers per pump line. The document also clarifies that only six oxygen meters require replacement, not twelve, and the wells should not be connected to a generator.

This government file details the specifications and schedules for a water treatment and monitoring system project in Saratoga, WY. It includes comprehensive schedules for sensors (dissolved oxygen, temperature, water level, oxygen mass flow, oxygen needle valve/flow), aquatic pump water flow meters, catch basins, radon exhaust fans, aquatic rotary drum filters, aquatic vertical turbine pumps, sump pumps, and water spikes (low head oxygenators). The document also outlines plumbing equipment and demolition plans for the Headtank/Disinfection Building and Control and South Raceway Building. Detailed sensor schedules specify monitoring points, input power, and output signals for various locations, including the surface water intake channel, pump channel, surface water headtank, well water head tank, and south raceway. Electrical legends and one-line diagrams illustrate the power distribution, including existing and new components like generators, automatic transfer switches, and distribution panels. Structural notes provide details on floor panels, grating, handrailing, and masonry, while general electrical notes emphasize compliance with NEC and local codes, conduit installation requirements, and coordination with other trades.
