PROPOSED PROJECT LIST

ID Capital Project Name Description of Observed Deficiency/NeedRelative Priority

Budgetary Time Frame Estimated Cost

Assigned Park Rank

B56 State House Upgrade The building is currently only minimally functioning for the two current uses: 1) a park office and 2) an apartment for volunteer staff. The primary reason that a capital project is recommended for this building is the electrical system, which is outdated, non‐compliant, and completely overloaded. It is the belief of the inspection team that this building constitutes the greatest fire hazard to the park and should be addressed as soon as possible.

CRITICAL 1 Year (Or Sooner)

$150,000 1

B12 Pedestrian Bridge Structural Monitoring & Wooden Railing Replacement

The existing bridge sags roughly 6" at the centerline under its own weight. This deflection appears to be a function of the main stringer construction. The existing railing is weathered and unstable. Recommend project to design & install new handrails. Recommend annual monitoring by Park staff to assess bridge safety, sag, and floodway capacity.

MEDIUM 1‐5 Years $14,000 2

B106 Crisman Store/Fire Alarm Planning Because the Chrisman store houses the park's fire alarm system and because the building shows sign of structural over‐loading and weathering, it is recommended that the park undertake a planning effort to determine the best way to protect the building and the fire alarm system housed therein. Alternatively, a replacement fire alarm control system could be considered in a different location. This estimate is for planning only, not construction.


B22 New Code Compliant Dual‐Wall Fuel Tank Station

The fuel station at the shop building represents a potential safety & environmental hazard. No secondary containment exists. Recommend a new fuel station with UL‐certified tanks meeting NFPA 30 for above ground use.


B17 Complete Recreational Sign Replacement Existing Signs are Weathered, Faded & Costly to Maintain. Recommend Replacement with New All‐Weather Aluminum Signs in Order to Improve Park Image. Signs that Target Vehicular Traffic Should be Retroreflective.


B33 Fire Alarm System Replacement Please reference the 2012 Townsite Fire Alarm Assessment Report by CTA Architects/Engineers for a detailed evaluation of the existing system and the park's needs moving forward. This report found that the existing fire alarm system has reached the end of its useful life, is inadequate, and needs to be replaced entirely.

Assigned Park Rank

BS2 New Sewage Lift Station for Trailer Dump & Maintenance Camp

The existing pump vault consists of 48" diameter concrete rings. Staff comments that the existing pump burns out every 2 years (on average). Suspect that the existing tank volume is too small and results in numerous start/stop cycles for the pump each day. Recommend larger vault for less frequent pump cycles.

HIGH 1‐2 Years $17,000 1

BS3 Pave Entrance Roadway Through 180 Degree Turn

The existing 180 degree turn is graveled. Campers and trucks with boat trailers accelerate up the sharp turn and create washboarding. Recommend paving the road from the gate down to the parking lot. This will eliminate washboarding and reduce road maintenance.


BS5 New Roof for Comfort Station The existing roof consists of asphalt T‐lock shingles. Repairs to the existing roof should be made ASAP to protect the structure until roof replacement. T‐locks were discontinued in the mid‐2000's. The existing shingles are generally in good condition, but are likely original (20+ years). Plan for future replacement.


BS6 New Pumps, Screens & Floats for Main Sewer Lift Station

The existing pump vault consists of 72" diameter concrete rings. Dual sewage pumps are operated by float controls to pressure dose two separate drainfields. Based upon staff input, these pumps were installed in 1994, and may be nearing their serviceable lives. Recommend planning for replacement.


BS13 Boat Ramp Repairs & Extension Recommend sealing existing cracks to minimize future freeze/thaw damage. Boat power loading has scoured out the ramp end. Recommend 20‐foot ramp extension. Note: pricing prepared assuming that work can be performed in dry when utility lowers lake for dam inspection.

CPC1 Visitor's Center Septic System Replacement The visitor's center wastewater system is roughly 40 years old. A septic tank could not be located. Design & Construction plans show a 5,000 gallon septic tank. There is a 50 gallon concrete cleanout box. This system has likely exceeded its design life. Plan for full system replacement in order to mitigate hazards.


CPC57 Shop Building Refurbishment The shop needs new fascia, soffit, siding, new windows, garage doors, roofing and lighting in order to maintain the serviceability of the structure and reduce ongoing maintenance needs.


CPC92 Complete ADA Route to Historic House The present ramp is not ADA compliant, does not connect to the rest of the ADA accessible route near the house, and is unattractive. The ADA accessible concrete route to the house should be extended and the present ramp replaced with one that is both compliant and more period‐looking.


CPC67 Replace Staff Housing Entry The entry is unattractive and not well‐built. It should be replaced with an entry that is more weather‐tight, compatible with the house and provides safer access to the home.

Assigned Park Rank

C38 Comfort Station Refurbishment The exterior envelope of the building is degrading. Roofing and siding should be replaced in order to maintain the serviceability of the building into the future. Additionally, ventilation problems in the shower areas are creating on‐going maintenance issues and degrading the interior finishes. Ventilation should be upgraded and interior finishes replaced. ADA non‐compliance issues should be dealt with at the same time, from the outside access route to the accessibility of the shower areas.


C68 Park Office Repairs to Maintain Exterior Finish Integrity

Severe water damage to siding is occurring at west side of office at the junction with shop building. The Electrical service entrance LB is located above office eave line, thus the overhang was omitted from the office in this location allowing water to drip down the siding and snow to get trapped between the roof wall and electrical conduit. Recommend seeing if LB and service entrance location can be lowered to allow overhang & gutter to extend to shop wall. Extend overhang, roofing & gutter and repaint or replace siding as necessary.


C34 Northshore Parking Crack Seal and Pavement Re‐Stripe

Overall, the existing asphalt is in good condition. Recommend crack seal & re‐stripe in order to maintain long term pavement viability.


C9 Garbage Canister Pads & Fencing Four (4) of the large garbage canister sites across the park currently consist of gravel pads. These areas are unsightly and represent a maintenance Issue. Recommend that new concrete or asphalt pads and fences be constructed to provide a smooth loading platform & to shield the canisters from sight.

HC36 Main Septic System Upgrade/Replacement Study

Based upon observations of the existing system, comments from maintenance staff, pumping schedules, & fish cleaning station effluent contributions; It is recommended that State Parks contract with a professional services provider in order to develop alternates for upgrades to (or replacement of) the existing system.

HIGH 1 Year (Or Sooner)

$20,000 1

HC4 Park Water Supply Tank Replacement Settlement of the water supply tank is apparent. The tank overflow includes rubber couplings to accommodate ground shift. Staff personnel states water shortage during peak use. Annual maintenance for repairs on broken water lines. Scale & rust on tank interior. Recommend a new tank be constructed on piers to minimize movement in soft soils.

HIGH 1‐5 Years $275,000 2

HC110 Picnic Shelter Replacement The wooden picnic shelters (3) are in rough shape and are structurally degrading at the base of the columns. Recent flooding of this area may have accelerated the deterioration of these shelters. These need to be replaced. It is suggested that new steel structures be considered. However, it is recommended that a new design be used in‐lieu‐of that of the existing steel shelters. It is our opinion that the existing steel shelters are out‐of‐scale, unattractive, and sterile. Rather, a design similar to that used for the wooden structures could be employed. With minor modifications to material selections, roof pitch, and overhangs, these shelters could be rebuilt in such a way that they would be well‐liked and serviceable for a long time.


HC86 Ventilation System for Comfort Station A ventilation system needs to be added to the comfort station to control humidity and reduce building and fixture degradation.


HC2 New Code Compliant Dual‐Wall Fuel Tank Station

The existing fuel station at the shop is a potential safety & environmental hazard. The secondary containment berm is inadequately constructed. Recommend a new fuel station with UL tanks meeting NFPA 30 for above ground use.


HC93 Replace Group Use Building The building being used for Group Use was never built for this purpose. It is only minimally servicing its need presently and is degrading. It appears to have been built on a shallow foundation system and settling is evidenced throughout the building. Even though a relatively new patio area was added to this building, we are recommending full replacement due to perceived foundation issues. If this building were replaced, it could be better utilized throughout the seasons and could be provided with kitchenette amenities and better fluidity between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

MEDIUM 2‐10 Years $220,000 6

HC21 Main Boat Ramp Replacement The concrete for the main boat ramp evidences significant settlement damage. There are numerous cracks up to 1/2‐inch wide. The existing ramp is likely past its serviceable life. Recommend a project to replace the main boat ramp with a combination of cast‐in‐place and precast concrete ramp panels.

MEDIUM 2‐10 Years (Drawdown)

$370,000 7

HC28 Roll‐Off Waste Container Pad Existing timber retaining walls for the roll‐off waste container pad are experiencing deflection and may eventually fail. Recommend replacing with a new dual retaining wall concrete roll‐off pad. New gravel ramp approaches are also recommended.

MINOR 2‐10 Years $28,000 8

HC74 Replace Entry Ramp at Visitor Contact Station The entry ramp to the visitor contact station needs to be replaced in a way that is more structurally stable and ADA compliant. This is only suggested if the Visitor Contact Station is intended to remain at this location.

M33 Reconstruction of Cap Rock Trail Structures & Signage

The first set of stairs are structurally unsound & potentially dangerous. Throughout there are multiple pedestrian structures of questionable integrity. Until the entire trail can be reconstructed, Cap Rock represents a potential liability to Montana State Parks.

HIGH 1‐2 Years $179,000 3

M46 Visitor's Center Sitework and Drainage Improvements

The Visitor's Center itself is in good condition, but due to the poor soils in this area and the prevalence of erosion, many site elements around the Visitor's Center are settling, moving, or slowly degrading. All of these issues need to be tackled as a whole in a carefully planned solution that is both sensitive to the building's architecture and constructed for the long term. The drainage from the building needs to be controlled so that it does not continue to degrade site features surrounding the building. One option that should be explored is capturing rainwater from the six rain spouts on the building and storing this water below grade for retention and irrigation purposes. In this way, the water can be viewed during runoff to maintain the building theme yet controlled and utilized. During this project, site elements such as the entry wing walls, retaining walls, and sidewalks will need to be replaced (or repaired).

HIGH 1‐5 Years $20,000 4

M41 New Code Compliant Dual‐Wall Fuel Tank Station

Fuel at the shop is stored in plastic jugs. This storage method represents a potential safety & environmental hazard. No secondary containment. Recommend a new fuel station with UL tanks meeting NFPA 30 for above ground use.

M10 Roadway & Pavement Reconstruction, Localized Repairs & Re‐striping

The first 0.9 miles of the existing paved park access road is in poor condition (PASER Rating 3.8). Multiple significant spot repairs needed thereafter to the switchback bottom. The road is plagued by subgrade failures; shoulder push; rutting; potholes; etc. Recommend complete reconstruction from subgrade up.

HIGH 2‐5 Years $1,800,000 6

M115 Replace Picnic Shelters at Cain's Cooley The two picnic shelters at Cain's Cooley Campground are an ongoing maintenance problem. Simply replacing the finishes will not deal with the underlying design problems which create the maintenance issues. In general, the design is well‐liked by visitors and is an attractive amenity to the park. Only minor modifications to the design will make these more serviceable in the long term. We recommend rebuilding these two picnic shelters, but in the rebuild, the slope to the roof should be increased and the overhang of the roof on the backside should protect the entire sloped backside panel. More weatherable fiber cement products could also be considered for this back panel siding.

MINOR 2‐10 Years $35,000 7

M21 Diane Gabriel Trail Bridge Replacement (Alternate)

RB7 Kobold House Immediate Safety Upgrades Our team shares general concerns about the safety of residents due to the frequently flooded basement (e.g. mold, electrical hazards, water contamination, structural shifting or degradation). We recommend that this building no longer be utilized for staff housing. It is believed that the cost of eliminating all of the potential health and safety risks exceeds the value of this housing to the State. This recommendation is to deal, presently, with the safety issues that can be easily remedied for the current inhabitant. Then, when this staff person moves out, we recommend undertaking capital projects to preserve the structure as it should no longer be used for habitation. Present needs include electrical safety issues, downspouts, a weather tight vent cap, a new chimney cap, removal of wrapping on the basement columns & evaluate them structural rot, servicing the furnace, controlling the rodents and installing smoke detectors.

RB6 Kobold House ‐ Preservation Project This project identifies measures that should be taken to shut‐down the building and provide weather‐protection to the exterior envelope for preservation purposes only.


RB36 Kobold Bunkhouse ‐ Preservation Project The bunkhouse should not be used as a residence. For historic preservation purposes, basic weather‐protection and preservation projects are necessary to preserve the structure. New roofing, repainting and replacing exterior wood as necessary and repointing the masonry are necessary. Electrical and gas should be removed from the structure.
