The National Park Service has issued a pre-solicitation notice for construction of the Port Angeles Water Treatment Plant (PAWTP), one of two major construction projects to begin this year as part of the Elwha Restoration Project.

The Request for Proposals (RFP) for this project will be issued on or about June 7, 2007. More information about this and other Elwha Construction Contracts can be found at the Olympic National Park website.

The Pre-Solicitation Notice is part of the government’s market research to locate sources for proposed construction of the PAWTP. The estimated range of construction for PAWTP is $15 to $25 million.

A pre-solicitation notice and RFP will be issued this fall for 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 to be included under a second contract. The estimated range of construction for the EWF is $60 to $80 million.
