Y--Scotty's Castle Flood Protection

This contract involves the design and construction of flood protection measures at Scotty's Castle, focusing on safeguarding historic structures and visitor pathways from floodwaters. The main component is the reconstruction of a roughly 400-foot gabion dike located east of the Stables area within Grapevine Canyon. This new dike will replace the previous soil-based structure that was washed out. Additionally, work will include excavating flood sediments in smaller nearby washes uphill of the Cook House and Stables, followed by installing concrete waterways and protective berms to redirect stormwater flows around these vulnerable sites. The project emphasizes the use of gabion baskets for dike construction, reflecting local flood protection standards. The contract is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is a total small business set-aside, overseen by the Department of the Interior's Dsc Contracting Services Division based in Denver, Colorado. The solicitation was posted on May 26, 2020, and interested contractors had until June 21, 2020, to respond. The contracting office point of contact is Gregory Passig, and this initiative aims to reinforce flood defenses at a critical historic site using proven engineering methods to mitigate future flood damage.
