These meetings are part of the government’s market research to locate sources for proposed construction of water quality facilities as part of the Elwha River Ecosystem Restoration Project for Olympic National Park. The projects include construction of the Port Angeles Water Treatment Plant (PAWTP) under one contract and construction of the Elwha Water Facilities (EWF), including the Elwha Surface Water Intake, the Elwha Water Treatment Plant, upgrades to the Crown “Z” Water Road for construction access, and area Flood Protection, all under a second contract.

The National Park Service plans to issue the pre-solicitation notice for PAWTP on or about May 23, 2007 and to issue the RFP on or about June 7, 2007. The estimated range of construction for PAWTP is $15 to $25 million.

The National Park Service plans to issue the pre-solicitation notice and RFP for EWF in the fall of 2007. The estimated range of construction for EWF is $60 to $80 million.
