| A | 223910 | 119 | Manage and Administer Projects | Contract management and administration | This work element includes the administrative and technical work by the contractor required to fulfill BPA's programmatic commitments and contractual requirements. These include: a) implementation of the current contract SOW, managing a budget, and satisfying BPA contracting requirements, including preparing and submitting invoices and any subsequent statement of work and budget, confirming accrual estimates, accounting for cost-share, and progress reporting; and b) coordinating habitat restoration planning, project evaluation, and implementation actions with the SRSRB staff (Program Coordinator), and WDFW, NPT and CTUIR program staff, to promote effective, timely, collaborative and sustained project execution across all of the work areas in the watershed.
Notes: No funding is included in this construction contract as additional administrative support for the costs associated with contract administration, reporting, and project management responsibilities, including subcontractor oversight, communication, and supervision:
(1) the CCD Contract Manager, with the assistance of SRSRB staff, will administer this contract as an additional component of the implementation roles and relationships developed through the existing programmatic habitat project responsibilities in the Tucannon Watershed (#2010-077-00), and as addressed separately in the ongoing CCD yearly contract award with BPA that supports habitat restoration actions in the Tucannon, and elsewhere in Columbia County.
(2) the incremental cost of contract management, including construction subcontractor oversight, communication, and supervision, is otherwise encompassed within the contract budgets for Project #1994-018-06: Tucannon Stream and Riparian Restoration (CCD). Additional funding may be included in the line-item budgets for those contracts. | $1,200 | 0.23% | 01/01/2023 | 12/31/2024 |
| B | 223911 | 165 | Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation | Compliance Documentation and Clearance: habitat restoration and enhancement project (PA-26) Phase III-IV | Notes: EC compliance (including the HIP IV risk determination) and additional cultural resource consultation for the work at PA-26 (Phase III-IV) were initiated by the CCD with Programmatic funds in FY21 (contract #84836), and continue in the FY22 contract award for the District (#89883).
All remaining EC compliance activities and the completion of Cultural Resources and Environmental clearance requirements are expected to be finalized under the design products advanced in contract release (#89883), and completed in the FY23 District contract award:
(a) the final engineering designs are attached to this contract in CBFish;
(b) HIP IV criteria documentation will be completed by Apr 1, 2023; and
(c) the HIP IV project notification form will be submitted before Mar 1, 2023, for the work to be completed in 2023.
(1) Coordinate with the BPA EC-Lead to obtain NEPA, ESA, cultural resources, and other environmental compliance clearances required to implement contract actions -- including the development of materials or equipment staging areas and construction access points -- and as design features and implementation logistics and schedules become more firmly documented through final design adjustments and site planning.
As design elements and site planning are confirmed, document the location(s) and scale of additional work locations expected to require environmental and cultural resource clearance. Identify and scope permitting and clearance requirements; incorporate construction considerations and the evaluation of potential impacts into compliance reviews prior to pre-construction activities:
(a) complete the Project Notification Form (PNF) prior to construction activities to implement the project design;
(b) provide a project completion notice (PCF) following construction; and
(c) submit forms to the BPA EC-lead.
(2) For cultural resource clearance(s), the EC Lead will initiate consultation with the affected tribes and state. To begin the process, the District will provide the BPA EC Lead with a brief project description and maps showing the area of potential effect (APE) of an action, to include the section/township/range for the whole area. Once the APE has been submitted and accepted, the lead archaeologist and technical staff (or appointees) may perform the cultural resource survey(s), and provide construction monitoring (if necessary). A survey report will be provided to BPA for submittal to the affected tribes and state for approval.
Note: To ensure clearance is obtained prior to work activities, CCD staff will start this process no later than 6-mos prior to the date desired for field work. On-the-ground work cannot begin until environmental compliance and cultural resource clearance has been received from the EC-Lead. | $2,500 | 0.49% | 01/01/2023 | 12/31/2024 |
| C | 223912 | 175 | Produce Design | Confirm Final Design Specifications and Engineering (Completion & Adjustments): PA-26 (Phase III-IV) | Status: A final site plan, design report, and project design has been completed and is attached to the this contract in CBFish.
Background: The Phase III-IV habitat restoration proposal is part of a large-scale project located on private property within the active river channel and floodplain, at 1.7 miles in length [ ~RM 24.4 – 26.1]. The larger PA-26 project is being phased within the BPA Programmatic Habitat Project (2010-077-00) and with the CCD Tucannon Watershed Habitat project (1994-018-06), and sequenced over a period of years across multiple contract periods due to: a) funding constraints in any single contract term; b) limitations on contract duration; and c) the timing and duration of instream work-windows.
Initiated in the previous contract(s), the design emphasis continues to be reconnection of the floodplain through this 1.7 mile reach. The overall project is comprised of high priority restoration actions identified in the Conceptual Restoration Plan for the Tucannon River (Anchor 2020); the design has been completed and is planned for implementation in a phased approach during the summer/fall of 2023 (and 2024 as necessary) (Phase III-IV).
Current Emphasis: This design stage is expected to finalize (or adjust as needed) a site plan, technical drawings or engineering specifications, access points, and a plan for materials management and equipment staging areas – based on the final design Report, CCD and SRSRB staff review, and engineering technical comment.
Review and refinement of a final design may be required prior to going to construction to: (1) accurately reflect the changes in river conditions or channel structure that can be expected to have occurred between the time of an earlier design approval and this contract award, or the work-window construction period, following high-flow runoff conditions in the stream channel during the Spring (2023); (2) incorporate permit or clearance requirements; or (3) respond to BPA engineering staff (ETS) review conclusions or recommendations. | $2,500 | 0.49% | 01/02/2023 | 06/01/2023 |
| D | 223913 | 100 | Construction Management | Site Preparation, Materials Management, Field Engineering, Quality Assurance, Construction Oversight: PA-26 (III-IV) | Overview: At the outset of this contract term (Jan-Feb), the CCD and SRSRB staff will supervise and manage initial work-site preparation, access point development, material acquisitions, staging for implementation, and if possible, the implementation of preliminary components of the Phase III project design that can be completed outside of the wetted channel and not during the in-water work period:
(a) Completion of final designs may continue contemporaneously with on-site preconstruction activities early in this contract period;
(b) Project construction in 2023 to be completed by a subcontracted construction crew, awarded as a subcontract following competitive solicitation;
(c) Solicitation and bids for construction materials in support of design features will be completed by April 2023, and implementation scheduled to begin in Jul 2023; and
(d) Delayed or additional phases of the overall planned project construction activities are likely to extend into the subsequent (FY24) contract period to be completed during the Summer 2024 work window.
Contractor is encouraged to initiate pre-construction activities early in this contract period: to organize construction planning and to consider implementation logistics and likely construction requirements associated with the scheduled build-period of the project design. Construction management will continue throughout the contract term, contemporaneously with pre-construction activities that are expected to begin at the start of this contract period, during construction preparation, and throughout the installation of additional wood-loading and other design features at PA-26 (Phase III):
1) Develop and review public bid document for solicitation of construction sub-contractor contracts; review bid submittals, and select contractor(s);
2) Where feasible and as clearances are obtained: a) prepare projected construction access points and material or equipment staging areas; and b) if cleared, initiate preliminary or phased components of the design build-out, that can be completed prior to the in-water work-window period, in support of the construction of the habitat restoration project at PA-26 (III/IV) during the Summer of 2023 and 2024;
3) Source and plan the acquisition of construction materials needed for habitat features and restoration actions, across the multiple phased locations of the overall project area. Secure and, as necessary, transport trees (large wood) and other construction materials to pre-arranged storage locations, to support construction needs and future implementation planning; and
4) Provide field engineering and construction inspections to ensure initial sites and preliminary implementation components, or completed structures and habitat features, are being built to design standards. Review construction notes and submit as-built drawing following construction.
Notes: Construction management throughout the PA-26 channel area, for the build-phases of the overall project, will continue through FY23 (and FY24 as necessary), encompassed within the ongoing yearly contract support for the CCD habitat project work in the Tucannon (#1994-018-06). Construction management will be provided for both preliminary activities, during construction preparation, and for the subsequent installation of design features, as required under HIP IV EC approval. | $2,500 | 0.49% | 01/04/2023 | 12/31/2024 |
| E | 223914 | 29 | Increase Aquatic and/or Floodplain Complexity | Install structures and place wood to promote side-channel development, habitat complexity & floodplain connection: PA-26 (Phase III-IV) | The overall reach restoration goals in this channel segment are to increase river channel complexity/diversity and floodplain connectivity on approximately 1.7 miles of the Tucannon River for ESA Spring Chinook and summer Steelhead spawning, rearing and overwintering habitats. Increase the number of log jams with key LWD pieces, increase pool frequency, increase pool mean depth and encourage flow path revision to increase floodplain inundation frequency from ~5 year return interval to a <2 interval.
Description (FY23-24): Phase III-IV LWD Enhancement will place approximately 72 instream structures composed of ~350 key pieces, with root-balls attached, small to medium size racking trees, and slash (tree limbs and other coarse woody debris. The project also includes 15 LWD structures located on the floodplain (2-3 logs each) for floodplain roughness elements, composed of an additional 35 key pieces.
The design also includes multiple levels of stability, anchor rock secured to LWD structures with rope, rebar pinning to create a LWD joints and/or burial or wedging to existing trees to mimic a natural residence time to the large wood within the project reach. In 2022, the project design identified the use of pile-driven log placements, employed during implementation, with secondary logs impinged and secured to the log-piles to increase structure stability and increase residence time for key placed structures, in place of and in addition to rock ballast. The project includes highly mobile wood (i.e small coarse debris/slash and racking trees) with mobility at certain flow velocities to structures that have added ballast to promote stability at higher flows. Implementation is planned for 2023, with remaining on-the-ground work to be completed in 2024 as necessary. | $400,000 | 77.67% | 01/01/2023 | 11/15/2024 |
| F | 231485 | 180 | Enhance Floodplain/Remove, Modify, Breach Dike | Remove and set back river levee (remove rip-rap) to restore floodplain & side channel connectivity | Per approved final designs, remove and set back 1,400 feet of levee to connect 3,340 feet of side channel flow path, and >3.5 acres of floodplain; remove 680 feet of gravel push-up berms to improve connectivity on 9 acres of floodplain; and support the development and function of side channel development. Re-use on-site levee cobble fill materials during construction for gravel augmentation components of the project; remove offsite rip-rap and other angular non-river rock. | $44,000 | 8.54% | 01/01/2023 | 10/15/2024 |
| G | 231486 | 30 | Realign, Connect, and/or Create Channel | Connect Side Channels for complexity and function | Consistent with the work described in the approved designs, three pilot cuts will be completed in conjunction with the placement of LWD structures to reconnect ~7,900' of existing disconnected side channel flow paths. This project element also includes creation of an additional 3,800' side channels at the lower end of the project area, to reduce stream power and increase length in the reach were the levee will be removed and setback. Large wood ELJs will be constructed in association with side channels to support inundation and function over time. Alluvial material excavated from side channels pilot cuts will be placed in channel below ordinary high water mark as bed load supplementation. Non-alluvial material would be removed from low floodplain if present. | $49,300 | 9.57% | 01/01/2023 | 10/31/2024 |
| H | 223915 | 47 | Plant Vegetation | Plant trees, shrubs and grasses to support restoration design and remediation of site impacts | Establishing native plant communities, in conjunction with the addition of LWD and other structural features in this channel segment, contributes to improved instream habitat complexity, encourages greater diversity in riparian plant communities, and promotes increased connectivity and function between instream and riparian habitats, and the re-emerging, reactivated floodplain areas. The overarching implementation strategy is the establishment and support of riparian plantings that: a) serve in the long-term to provide shade and reduce temperatures, and b) contribute to proper floodplain structure, connectivity and habitat function.
USDA CRP Native Grass seed mix will be used to establish a conservation cover; and riparian trees and shrubs such as Blue Elderberry, Mock Orange, Ponderosa Pine, Cottonwood, and Willow (Pacific, Peachleaf, Drummond, and Coyote) stems will be planted in areas where natural recruitment is lacking, or conditions are sufficiently changed to support the establishment of new plant communities. Monitoring the sites, conducting survival inventories, and identifying maintenance or replanting needs will be an accompanying, ongoing strategy to support the restoration objectives of the project.
Note: Riparian plantings in the Tucannon have the greatest survival when they are planted early, as soon as fall/winter soil moisture is sufficient to maintain survival. This can range from October into December in poor-water years. The work is combined with post-implementation site restoration that includes the clean-up and restoration of construction access points and materials or equipment storage and mobilization areas, to address the unavoidable negative impacts of construction activities. | $12,000 | 2.33% | 01/06/2023 | 12/20/2024 |
