Title: Battle Creek Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Project, Phase 2 Environmental Compliance and Support Services

Solicitation No. 140R2025Q0055 Amendment No. 001002

Pre-Proposal Contractor’s Questions

No. Questions and Responses

1. May we review the 404 permit for this project?

Response: A copy of the authorized CWA Section 404, Nationwide Permit for South Diversion Dam/South Canal is included in this amendment.

2. Does the 48 river miles figure refer specifically to the Phase 2 project limits, or does it represent the total length of the overall restoration project, including Phases 1A, 1B, and 2? If it refers to the overall project, what is the river mile length for Phase 2 alone?

Response: The Battle Creek Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Project (Restoration Project) spans a total length of 48 miles, including Phases 1A, 1B, and 2. Phase 2 focuses on the restoration of South Fork Battle Creek, covering approximately 19 river miles from its confluence with main stem Battle Creek to the limit of anadromy at Panther Grade Falls.

3. The scope notes that preconstruction surveys were completed for the South Dam and Canal Removal Project. Were these protocol-level surveys or general clearance surveys?

Response: The completed preconstruction surveys were protocol-level surveys.

For details, refer to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) Attachment 3 – Restoration Project Environmental Implementation Plan, Volume 1.

4. In Attachment No. 2, on page 18 under South Dam and Canal Removal Construction, the boxes under Task 1a Preconstruction Survey are greyed out for Jan–Mar and Apr–Jun. Do these indicate that clearance surveys are not required because preconstruction surveys have already been completed for the dam and canal?

Response: No, preconstruction surveys are separate from clearance surveys, as described in the PWS Task 1A requirements. For more details, refer to the

PWS Attachment 3 – Restoration Project Environmental Implementation Plan. Generally, the greyed-out cells indicate the timeframe to conduct the relevant subtasks in alignment with the expected construction schedule.

5. Is the Environmental Contractor responsible for cultural monitoring under this contract?

Response: The Phase 2 project sites have been surveyed and archeological cleared. Reclamation archeologist will conduct cultural monitoring, if needed.

6. Does the WEAT (Weekly Environmental Awareness Training) require Spanish translation?

Response: No.

7. Are preconstruction or clearance surveys required for the access roads?

Response: Surveys should encompass all identified project/contractor use areas, including the identified private access roads, but excluding public roads.

8. For biomonitoring purposes, could you please confirm the project limit areas for the South Diversion Dam and South Canal Removal Construction, as well as for the Coleman Diversion Dam Removal Construction, including all associated access roads?

Based on the information provided in the 404 Permit, we have assumed that the project site area for the South Diversion Dam/South Canal project is 59.70 acres.

Please let us know if this assumption is correct and if similar acreage details are available for the Coleman Dam Removal site.

Response: The South Diversion Dam and South Canal Removal Construction Contract covers a total area of approximately 60.54 acres, including the South Diversion Dam/South Canal site (59.70 acres), Soap Creek Feeder Diversion Dam (0.37 acres), and Lower Ripley Creek Feeder Diversion Dam (0.47 acres).

Additionally, a separate construction contract will address the Coleman Dam Removal, which encompasses the Coleman Diversion Dam site (6.00 acres).

Refer to the Performance Work Statement, Attachment 3 – Restoration Project Environmental Implementation Plan, which includes figures of the contractor use areas where environmental monitoring to occur, see pages 136- 144 and 167-193.
