Comanche Park Campground Reconstruction

The Comanche Park Campground Reconstruction project involves expanding the existing campground from 20 to 34 sites, along with comprehensive infrastructure upgrades including road modifications with curve widening and new surfacing for improved drainage. The Host Site and Volunteer Site will be relocated and enhanced with new power, water, and wastewater vaults. Five aging 1965 stick-built toilets will be replaced with four new pre-cast vault toilets. The water system overhaul includes decommissioning the existing pumphouse, installing a new pre-cast concrete treatment building in a different location with modern plumbing and controls, removing the aboveground water storage tank, and replacing it with a below-ground fiberglass tank. All distribution piping and new hydrants will be installed in accordance with the statement of work, specifications, and drawings. The project falls under NAICS code 237110 and has an estimated value between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Performance must be completed within 392 calendar days after the notice to proceed, with work beginning no later than 10 calendar days after notification.
