Title:
N: 175 - Meacham RM 10-11 Habitat Enhancement Project Design
Description:
THE CTUIR and USDA Forest Service Walla Walla Ranger District have been collaborating on completing a floodplain reconnection project in Meacham Creek for a couple of years. This particular reach of channel was identified as the next priority area to complete restoration work in Meacham (Andrus & Mideel 2003). The FS and the CTUIR agreed to work toward designing and implementing a floodplain restoration project to include: 1) constructing off-channel rearing habitat and open-water wetlands; 2) breach or remove the levee; and 3) installing wood.

The CTUIR solicits and awards a contract for a design with an environmental engineering firm through a competitive selection process based on the qualifications, approach, and cost of the proposals. An engineering firm was selected in contract year 2021. We anticipated completing a 60% design in CY 2021 with the remainder of the design and permitting in 2022. Construction is preliminary planned for CY 2023. The deliverable will include an Implementation Plan and construction-ready stamped design plans. These plans will need to be updated with a Design Change Notice, following high water, survey and staking in 2022 or 2023.
WE Agreement Type:
Contracted
Deliverable Specification:
Notes: The permit ready 60% design set is anticipated for completion in 2021. The final design and implementation plan (100%) for a floodplain reconnection and habitat enhancement project on Meacham Creek RM 10-11 will be completed in CY2022.

Develop and upload the final (or revised) engineering and design submittal and plan report (90%-100%): Meacham Creek (RM:10-11).

Refine and conclude the restoration designs advanced in this contract, following any late plan revisions, adjustments to review or clearance requirements, or in response to changes in channel morphology, to a level sufficient to address engineering design review, coordinate permitting and the planning of construction schedules, inform environmental compliance review, obtain environmental clearances and permits, and organize material staging and construction access planning for implementation of the project targeted for the Summer of 2023.

Description: Provide month and year of projected construction start date: Jul 2023 (pre-construction as early as Apr-Jun 2023). Assure information is included in the design WE description to assist in project planning, cultural resource clearance, environmental compliance review, and design evaluation and approval timelines.
C Confirm that requirements for HIP IV continue to be incorporated into design products (ESA species) 2/1/2022 7/1/2022 Concluded Timothy Ludington (Inactive) 12/13/2021 9:46:37 AM
Description: For project design work that will require ESA coverage under the 2020 Habitat Improvement Program Biological Opinion (HIP IV), prior to commencing contract implementation actions that would otherwise require a BA: (1) assure that the ongoing development of design-related products (e.g., assessments, evaluations, surveys, engineering, design specifications, technical drawings, site plans, etc.) explicitly include reference to and incorporation of HIP design requirements, criteria specifications, activity categories, and risk characterization; (2) review the Conservation Measures Checklists within the HIP handbook with employees or contractors (https://www.bpa.gov/efw/Analysis/NEPADocuments/Pages/ESA-Process.aspx); and (3) sufficiently incorporate the cost of these design requirements in requests for proposals, sub-contract cost-estimates, or quotes for all aspects of the project (pre-design, design, permitting and implementation oversight). Refer to the “General Project and Data Summary Requirements” in the HIP for additional information.
D ARBO ESA coverage obtained (alternative) 2/1/2022 1/31/2023 Active Timothy Ludington (Inactive) 12/13/2021 9:46:37 AM
Description: ESA consultation coverage through the USFS ARBO process obtained.
E Assure that landowner intentions and constraints are addressed; obtain permissions and agreement to proceed 2/1/2022 12/30/2022 Concluded Timothy Ludington (Inactive) 12/13/2021 9:46:37 AM
Description: Reaffirm landowner needs and interests; address implementation constraints and concerns via ongoing design review and evaluation; confirm participation and obtain permission to proceed.
F Continue to hold and attend meetings to review restoration strategies, design elements, and expected project features 2/1/2022 1/2/2023 Concluded Timothy Ludington (Inactive) 12/13/2021 9:46:37 AM
Description: Continue meetings with the CTUIR implementation staff and design firm, and with the BPA Habitat Workgroup staff and ETS, to discuss and finalize habitat restoration approaches and project design considerations, performance elements, and any adjustments to project construction scheduling, or other implementation logistics. Hold meetings to present and discuss habitat restoration design concepts, performance expectations, and proposed implementation schedules with the project area landowner, interested or affected local residents, and other stakeholders. Discussions are expected to continue into the pre-construction period (Apr-Jun).
G CostEst Determine cost estimate, including cultural surveys, permitting, construction, and M&E 5/1/2022 1/2/2023 Concluded Timothy Ludington (Inactive) 12/13/2021 9:46:37 AM
Description: All designs must include an engineer's construction estimate (including, but not limited to): volume of materials and cost per volume, hours and rates for each person, equipment hours and rates, delivery costs, travel and per diem costs, supplies, etc. (generally, no lump sums except mobilization). Estimates may NOT include contingency funds. Estimates should be of sufficient detail to be used as documentation for subsequent BPA construction budget requests.
H COMPLETE: HIP ESA coverage with BPA EC-lead; confirm HIP IV risk determination 7/1/2022 1/31/2023 Concluded Timothy Ludington (Inactive) 12/13/2021 9:46:37 AM
Description: The EC-Lead determines if work under this work element may be able to have full ESA-coverage (NMFS & USFWS) under the Habitat Improvement Program Biological Opinion (HIP). The HIP IV has expanded coverage for projects that may pose a moderate to high risk of impacting an ESA-listed species or critical habitat that would normally require a Biological Assessment. For work that qualifies, projects undergo a review by the EC-Lead and the BPA Engineering Technical Services (ETS) team. To complete this process, previously initiated under the FY21 Habitat Project contract award (#73982 REL125), contact the EC lead and Project Manager to: a) confirm the HIP IV Risk Determination; b) obtain additional instruction about information needs and requirements for coverage eligibility; and c) to complete HIP IV ESA-compliance clearance.

(b) Assess and confirm environmental compliance requirements, and the scheduling of clearances, associated with concluding a final design, implementation planning, pre-construction activities, and the scheduling of construction work. (c) Continue to review plans and specifications with the BPA Environmental Compliance Specialist, and if necessary or desired, the BPA Fluvial Geomorphologist or Program Engineer; incorporate the recommendations of the HIP review team, BPA (ETS) engineering review comments, and any other requirements (at this 80% design-stage) into subsequent design revisions.
K Plan for project materials sourcing, acquisition, storage and staging 1/2/2023 1/31/2023 Active Timothy Ludington (Inactive) 12/13/2021 9:46:37 AM
