McNary North Fish Ladder Lamprey Modification

Construction Project: McNary North Fish Ladder Lamprey Modification. This will be a firm-fixed-price construction contract located at McNary Dam, Umatilla Oregon. Estimated construction magnitude is between $100,000 and $250,000; and 100% performance and payment bonds will be required. Summary Scope of Work: The work to be performed at McNary Dam North Fish Ladder will include minor modifications to improve passage conditions for adult Pacific lamprey. Modifications will include stainless steel plating at slope section weir walls that interface with diffuser gratings (8 plates total), stainless steel ramps at vertical obstacle (2 ramps total), stainless steel lamprey passage orifices in tilting weir stem walls (14 orifices total). The lamprey passage orifices will require cutting concrete stem walls (with embedded rebar) and installing prefabricated stainless steel insert to provide an additional passage route through the weir walls. Although the fish ladder will be mostly unwatered, the contractor will be required to provide pumps to fully dewater the work area. To summarize the contractor must have experience welding, stainless steel fabrication, concrete cutting, application of grout, and dewatering using pumps.
