Replace Wastewater Treatment Plant at Tuolumne Meadows

The project consists of replacing the existing wastewater treatment plant at Tuolumne Meadows within Yosemite National Park. 

Major work elements include: 

• Replacement of the existing wastewater treatment plant 
• Replacement of approximately 2,500 linear feet of effluent piping crossing Tuolumne Meadows 
• Installation of a new wastewater holding tank 
• Installation of a new recreational vehicle dump station 
• Decommissioning and removal of two existing disposal ponds 
• Associated site restoration and utility work  

Period of Performance/Anticipated Construction Duration:

Construction is anticipated to occur over five (5) construction seasons between 2026 and 2030. Construction seasons at Yosemite National Park vary between mid-May through mid-November. During active construction periods, the Contractor shall provide full-time on-site Construction Manager Representative (CMR) services at forty (40) hours per week. During inactive construction periods, the Contractor shall provide part-time support services at sixteen (16) hours per week. 

The contract shall consist of one (1) Base Year and four (4) Option Years the total potential performance period is sixty (60) months.

Contract Extension 

Construction contract extensions are common on projects of this complexity due to weather impacts, differing site conditions, resource protection requirements, utility conflicts, and other unforeseen conditions. The Government may extend CM services commensurate with construction contract extensions. Historical data indicates the construction period may extend up to twenty-five percent (25%) beyond the original construction Notice to Proceed date. The duration of the CM contract may exceed construction completion to support final closeout documentation, including archaeological and environmental reporting.
