The JOTR Greenhouse Nursery & Fencing project involves the procurement and installation of a new greenhouse to enhance native plant production at Joshua Tree National Park. The contractor will build a 24’x48’ greenhouse equipped with essential features such as natural ventilation, propane heating, and environmental controls, along with a chain-link fence around the expanded nursery footprint. The new greenhouse is a response to the aging of existing structures and growing operational needs, providing improved accessibility for maintenance and plant handling.
Key contractor responsibilities include removing existing vegetation, installing concrete supports and pathways, and establishing electric and gas lines. An environmental control system is also to be integrated for climate management. The project requires the presence of a tribal monitor during ground disturbances to ensure the protection of cultural resources, adhering to specific archaeological monitoring protocols.
The anticipated completion period for the work is 300 days from the notice to proceed (NTP), with a defined schedule to minimize disturbances to nearby public areas. This project aligns with federal and state objectives by promoting habitat restoration and supporting partnerships with local agencies through enhanced nursery capabilities.
The document outlines a project involving the construction of a new greenhouse and nursery area in Twentynine Palms, which includes various structural features.
