PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project will be a Firm-Fixed Price construction contract. The principal components of the work to be performed under these specifications include preparing logs to be used in a log boom, preforming/obtaining a geotechnical investigation at each anchor site to verify the selection of anchor model, installing anchors upon the shore to hold the log boom in place, providing and installing steel buoys, placing concrete blocks to be used as intermediate anchors at each buoy location, mounting USCG approved lights on the buoys, and installing the log boom system. Due to the lack of access to project sites by land and restrictions on soil disturbances, the work is expected to be completed from a barge. Work is located at two separate locations on Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake; Moonbeam Bay and Redford Canyon in Ferry County, Washington.
