Devils Tower National Monument
Rehabilitate the Visitor Center’s Sidewalks, Primary & Overflow Parking and Primary Trailhead Areas
NAICS Code: 237990 – Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction
Estimated Cost Range: $1 million - $5 million
Estimated Period of Performance: Dec 2019 to Dec 2020
Project Description
This project will redesign the existing unpaved visitor center parking area (approximately 26,500 SF) as a formalized paved parking area with new interpretive signs (fulfilled in another project PMIS# 231772), regulatory markings, and accessibility-compliant features. 1,900 linear feet of concrete walkways of the visitor center, tower trail, climber kiosk grounds, and maintained landscapes will be replaced with new concrete walkways that will meet accessibility compliance standards and better accommodate increased levels of visitation. 3,171 SF of The Tower Trail will be replaced with a widened, handicap-accessible walkway, and the Y plaza on the Tower Trail will be replaced and it will also have accessibility compliant features. Day-use areas will be improved with new fixtures and amenities such as accessibility-compliant walkway and benches. An interpretive plaza (approximately 4,800 SF) will be constructed as part of the accessible trail with new fixtures to accommodate larger groups and provide access. The visitor center long RV paved parking area (approximately 5,000 SF) will be replaced with formally designated and accessibility-compliant bus loading and unloading zones.
The outdated climber registration restrooms will be rehabilitated to include accessibility-compliant features in order to meet current accessibility compliance standards. The visitor center interior will be rehabilitated to accessibility standards with additional finishes for visitor enjoyment.
Any grounds disturbed during construction, remodeling, or realignments will be analyzed for adverse environmental impacts and re-vegetated to meet NEPA compliance standards
The purpose of this work is to address the large volume of vehicles and pedestrians in a very condensed area and implement a range of solutions that will improve the safety and visitor experience. This project will address the Monument’s number one critical need and allow the Monument to move forward in a realistic corrective action plan.
