PART 1 - GENERAL

1 .1 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

A. The work of this contract consists of purchasing and installing ultrablocks and improve surrounding drainage channels at mile 8, improve erosion control at mile 4 and improve erosion control at mile

Work specific elements include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Mile 8 - Purchase and install 112 concrete ultrablocks that are 2.5’x2.5’x5’ with the Quarrystone face finish and install along two sections at mile 8. The section includes 200 feet at the north end of the site and 80 feet up valley from the existing dry rock wall for a total of 280 feet according to the specifications in Attachment A. The ultrablock wall shall be placed as far from the toe of the slope as possible to maintain adequate road width (minimum 14 feet). All rocks and sediment shall be removed from the road and slope edge before placement of the blocks to allow a level resting surface. The ultrablock wall shall be stacked two blocks high for a finished height of five feet. Blocks shall be stacked such that the upper block is resting on the lower two. Due to the coarse nature of the sediment expected to fill in behind the wall, no wall drainage is included in the work.

2. Mile 4 - Purchase and install 50 cubic yards of large rocks to be utilized with large woody debris provided by the NPS to create a rock barb in the channel at mile 4 according to specifications in Attachment B. The 50 cubic yards of large rocks shall be made up using FHWA Class 5 riprap specifications. The contractor also shall construct a 20 foot long access road from the Stehekin valley road 5 feet down a steep embankment to reach the river edge.

The road would start from the upstream end of the project area. No machinery below OHWM (Ordinary High Water Mark). See 1.5 A.

3. Mile 5.5 - Purchase and install 100 cubic yards of large rocks to be utilized with large woody debris provided by the NPS to create two rock barbs in the channel at mile 5.5 according to specifications in Attachment C. The 100 cubic yards of large rocks shall be made up using FHWA Class 5 riprap specifications. The contractor also shall construct a 150 foot long access road from the Stehekin valley road 15 feet down a steep embankment to reach the river bottom. The road would start from the downstream end of the project area. No machinery below OHWM. See 1.5 A.
