The National Park Service is seeking a single‑prime contractor to design and construct a new potable water system at the Polebridge Ranger Station area in Glacier National Park. The work includes installing an infiltration gallery, a new water storage tank, water mains and service lines to four housing units and two administrative buildings, a programmable logic controller, pump control panel, tank monitoring system, and fiber‑optic communication lines to five structures. The contractor must adhere to extensive environmental, wildlife, cultural, and visitor‑safety requirements, obtain utility markings, manage waste in bear‑proof containers, and coordinate traffic and seasonal access constraints. The project schedule spans from October 17 2026 through December 17 2027, with phased work windows that avoid peak visitor periods and accommodate winter closures.
