PROJECT NUMBER: NM FTNP/NPS BAND 910(1)

PROJECT NAME: Tsankawi and Frey Parking lots

PROJECT DETAILS:

The project is to expand/construct new parking lots at the Bandelier National Monument at two locations: Tsankawi (san-KAH-wee) unit and Frey trailhead at Juniper Campground. The first proposed project is to construct a 35,200 square foot (SF) parking lot to provide visitor and shuttle parking at the Tsankawi unit, located at the intersection of East Jemez Drive and New Mexico Highway 4 (NM-4). The second proposed project is the expansion of the Frey Trailhead parking lot at Juniper Campground by constructing approximately 40 additional parking spaces.

The proposed Tsankawi parking lot would consist of 38 car spaces, 2 handicap spaces, 3 bus/RV parking spaces and a shuttle stop. The planned parking lot would have an asphalt surface with approximately 1560 LF of stone curbing and 65 LF of sidewalk. Construction of the parking lot will also disturb an area approximately 30 feet beyond the parking lot perimeter to allow construction equipment to maneuver, drainage swales to build, and grading to occur between the finished grade and original contours. The Frey Trailhead parking lot at Juniper Campground planned to construct approximately 40 additional parking spaces, including required accessible parking, south of the existing parking lot in an area previously disturbed by construction.

All of the work is occurring in cultural and natural resource sensitive areas and there are numerous environmental constraints that will affect the construction schedule and type of operations.

The estimated price range is between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000. The anticipated advertisement date for the project is early October 2022 with construction anticipated to start April 2023.

Significant Value Items:

• Roadway Excavation
• Asphalt Concrete Pavement Type-1
• Roadway Aggregate, Method 2
• Clearing and Grubbing
• Curb Concrete, 12-inch depth (colored)

This will be solicited as a HUBZone set aside competition.
