Benson Pier Rebuild

The project involves the removal of a deteriorated pier and boathouse structure on Donner Lake and the construction of a new pier to eliminate a hazard to navigation and public safety caused by storm damage. The existing 15 wooden pilings, which impact 42.5 square feet of lakebed, will be fully removed and replaced with ten steel pilings that will occupy only 6.3 square feet of lakebed, resulting in a net re-establishment of 36.2 square feet of lakebed use. Installation of the new pilings will be conducted via drop or vibratory hammer from a barge or amphibious vehicle to minimize environmental disruption. The work is focused entirely on replacing an unsafe structure with a more durable and environmentally efficient design, with no expansion of overall footprints beyond the original licensed area. The project is managed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Region 6 – South Lake Tahoe, and is listed under the forecast category with a posted date of January 27, 2026. The place of performance is in Truckee, California, with the primary point of contact being Meghan Walsh, Engineering Geologist, who can be reached via email or phone for further inquiry. A site plan referenced as Enclosure 1 provides the exact layout and specifications for the reconstruction. No solicitation number or set-aside details are provided, indicating the project is still in the early planning or forecast phase.
