NATURE OF IMPROVEMENT:  The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, tools, equipment, transportation, supplies, and incidentals necessary for the following major elements:

This project aims to enhance the Cooper Creek system to support local fish populations, particularly anadromous species like salmon and trout. The key objectives include creating a more natural stream bed and ensuring fish can move freely at all tidal levels. The project involves replacing the existing 30-inch concrete culvert with a new box culvert to restore the stream's natural flow, reconnecting 9,000 square feet of intertidal salt marsh to regular and complete tidal flows, and eliminating the predator trap currently created by the culvert. This will provide immediate access to approximately one mile of high-quality habitat for Coho and Chum salmon, as well as Coastal Cutthroat trout. The project will enhance both freshwater and intertidal habitats, benefiting native salmon and trout species, including the ESA-listed Chinook salmon. Additionally, this project accommodates and adds non-motorized improvements over the culvert and includes concurrent coordination with the Eagle Harbor Drive and Wyatt Way Non-Motorized Improvements. Construction activities must align with the environmental goals and regulatory requirements outlined for the project.

The City of Bainbridge Island reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities in the bidding process. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. Bidders must meet the mandatory responsibility criteria required by RCW 39.04.350 and any supplemental criteria described in the Contract Documents.
