Y--Asotin Slough Repair

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District has a requirement at the Asotin Slough Habitat Management Unit (HMU) to repair scour areas along the slough. The work is located on the Snake River near the city of Asotin, Washington (Asotin County). This will be a firm-fixed-price construction contract. Summary Statement of Work: The Asotin Slough Habitat Management Unit (HMU) is owned, managed, and maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Asotin Slough HMU is located on the Snake River in Asotin County, Washington (T10N, R46E, Section 22). The HMU is located on the southwest bank (Washington side) of the river and consists of approximately 79 acres. The purpose of this project is to mitigate habitat that was inundated by the lower Snake River dams. The original project connected the slough to the river. The construction was completed in Nov 2009, but high-water in June 2010 scoured areas along the slough before the vegetation was established. The proposed project will repair scour areas along the 2,800 foot slough. Cobble will be placed to line the bottom of the channel at the upstream and downstream sections of the slough. The intent of the cobble placement is to protect existing trees along the Snake River in the HMU. The existing soil along the slough will be spread to repair the planting benches adjacent to the slough. Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, plant, material, supplies and incidentals, and perform all work necessary for the slough repair, cobble protection, to include foundation preparation and placement of cobble. The existing, graveled parking area adjacent to the site will be used to establish a construction staging area. The site is approximately 3700 square feet in size and is readily accessible. The contractor shall comply with all Washington state requirements of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The estimated construction period of performance is August 2011 to October 2011 when high Snake River flows recede and flowing water in the slough is not present. All physical work is outdoors.
