Contract Award Date: Jan 04, 2023 Contract Award Number: 69056723C000008 Task/Delivery Order Number: Contractor Awarded Unique Entity ID: VAYJNMM2KBE5 Contractor Awarded Name: Granite Construction Company Contractor Awarded Address: Watsonville, CA 95076-5123 USA Base and All Options Value (Total Contract Value): $102521522.00 Sol no : 69056722R000006 Project Background The Denali Park Road is a mostly gravel road originally built by the Alaska Road Commission in the 1920s and 1930s. The 92-mile Denali Park Road has a single connection to the road network outside the park, at the park entrance on the eastern boundary, and is typically open to traffic from mid-May to mid-September. As you progress west into the park, the road transitions from paved to rustic to primitive. The first 15 miles of road is a dual purpose, paved facility. The next segment between the Savage and Teklanika rivers is a transition zone where the driving surface changes from pavement to gravel. West of the Teklanika River, the road changes from a uniform width, two lane facility to a variable width, one lane facility. Landslides have impacted Pretty Rocks since at least the 1960s but until recently, only required maintenance every two to three years. During the 1990s, the landslide, which occurs below the roadbed, only caused small cracks in the road surface. However, by 2018 the slumping increased to almost 0.5 inch per day, and then to 3.5 inches per day by August 2020. By August 2021, the rate of movement had increased to more than a foot per day, forcing Denali National Park and Preserve to close the road in this area until a permanent solution is in place. ITO-4 CMGC, Instructions to Offerors AK NPS DENA 10(49), Polychrome Area Improvements The Pretty Rocks landslide is composed of a thick (40- to 80-foot) layer of sediment and ice that is sliding on top of frozen volcanic ash and clay. It flows perpendicular to the Park Road from its head scarp a few hundred feet upslope of the Park Road to its terminus on the valley floor, 1,400 feet downslope. It impacts the width of the road for approximately 300 linear feet. Movement has been most noticeable in the areas at and above the current road grade, but activity continues into the substrate below the road grade and into the naturally deposited material piled up on the river bar below. The frozen volcanic ash and clay is thaw unstable. 1.4 Site Access Offerors may visit the project site via aircraft or via vehicle. No landing of aircraft will be allowed. Vehicle access will be allowed to the Pretty Rocks landslide. Vehicle access will not be possible West of the Pretty Rocks landslide. Coordinate all site visits with the NPS contact below at least one week in advance. Contractors will be required to obtain a Road Access Permit with NPS prior to accessing the Denali Park Road. See SCR 108.01(c) for requirements to obtain this permit.
