PROJECT ESTIMATE:

The estimated contract cost of this project is approximately $170 to $210 Million.

PREQUALIFICATION:

Maximum Bidding Capacity in the amount of $210 Million or higher and the Submitter or at least one Major Participant must be prequalified for Work Class 6 in the total amount of $60 Million or higher.

PROJECT SCOPE:

In an effort to protect and restore salmon and trout runs, a federal court injunction requires WSDOT to significantly increase the efforts to remove state owned culverts that block habitat for salmon and trout. This project will replace 12 existing fish barrier crossings on SR112 in Clallam County with fish passable structures (buried structures and bridges) in compliance with the Federal Injunction regarding fish passage underneath WSDOT highways. This project will be delivered in Design-Build delivery method. This work will increase fish migration at stream crossings along SR112 to allow migratory salmon and trout to access their native spawning grounds. The project will be funded with state and federal funds.

LOCATION AND SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF WORK:

This project will remove existing barriers to fish migration at the following SR112 stream crossings and replace with fish-passable structures:
