The work consists of, but is not limited to, the following items:
Levee stabilization: Stabilize approximately 3,400 ft of eroding levee over 19 sites. Task includes
work area isolation; importing and placing approximately 3,600 cy of 3”-minus rock, 2,000 cy of
Class 100 riprap, 320 cy of topsoil, and installing 2,600 dormant willow stakes. Approximately
15,000 square yards of geotextile fabric will be installed as a separation barrier between native
soils and placed rock. Levees will also be raised to specified elevations and surfaced with
approximately 500 cy of decomposed granite pathway for recreational access post-construction.
Wetland grading: Complete work area isolation and site dewatering; balanced cut-fill grading;
harvest, stockpile, placement, and machine compaction of upper 18” of topsoil over graded
surfaces at design depths of 0 to 3.5 ft (approximately 36 acres); and placement of 10 large wood
structures for habitat logs. Low ground pressure grading equipment necessary.
Design digital elevation models will be provided to the selected Contractor to facilitate project
implementation.
The in-water work period established for this project is November 1st to February 1st, a waiver
will be requested so that construction may begin on September 1st, or once all permits are in
hand. The preferred final completion of the project is on or before December 31, 2026, although
the project may continue into 2027. The project shall be completed by December 31, 2027.
