Wilson Creek Crossing Design

The Shasta Trinity National Forest requests engineering services from an A/E firm for the design, preparation of plans and specification for the construction for the Wilson Creek Crossing. The Wilson Creek Crossing is located on Forest Service Road 30N03 at milepost 2.33, in Trinity County, California, on the Yolla Bolla Ranger District, Shasta Trinity National Forest. The structure will replace an existing 110 foot long, seven (7) foot diameter corrugated metal plate culvert. The vertical stream channel grade is a barrier to aquatic organism passage. The new structure, associated channel restoration and road re-construction will be designed to accommodate passage of aquatic organisms. A survey of the site has been performed and a site plan has been developed by the Forest Service. Core Drilling at the site has been performed and geotechnical design information will be provided for the foundation design of the structure. This will be available to the contractor. Additional survey work may be required to collect topographic data for use in the preparation of the Stream Simulation. Work also includes field geomorphic reconnaissance and assessment, discharge measurements, hydrologic and hydraulic assessment, minor geotechnical investigation, data reduction and calculations, design narrative report, design, site layout and producing AutoCAD drawings. The project will be completed in two phases. The first phase will include a QC plan, stream simulation preliminary submittal and a type selection report. The second phase will consist of the final design and submittal including; Statement of Work, Special Project Specifications, Design Drawing Package, and Prepare Engineer's Estimate of Cost" The design will be in accordance with Forest Service and AASHTO design standards. Firms interested in providing design services are invited to submit Standard Form 330, Architect-Engineer and Related Service Questionnaire. Firms responding to this announcement on or before the closing date will be considered. SF 330's will be evaluated to determine the most highly qualified firm based on the five factors listed below.
