The concepts to accomplish are as follows:
1) Improve ease of operation with remote operated gates
a) Industrial Control System (ICS) or other system
b) Two stilling basins or bubbler water level devices, telemetered to the California Data Exchange Center website
c) Additional gate position and proximity switches for remote operations
2) Increase operational life of facility
3) Address safety issues
a) Means of locking gates in place for boats to travel safely under
b) Handrail
4) Decrease ongoing operations and maintenance costs
5) Maintain or improve safety of recreational boaters
a) Louder horn, flashing lights warning of gate movement
b) Video cameras to ensure boats are not under the gates
6) Allow maintenance on current system
a) Hoist to lift covers off of gear-boxes
Initial concepts to complete the above objectives include:
- Updates to the existing facility to meet the objectives above, which would include: ICS or other remote operated system; two stilling basins or bubbler water level sensors, telemetered to the California Data Exchange Center (CDEC) website; means of locking gates in place for boats to travel safely under the gates; repaired handrail to meet OSHA standards; paved parking lot; analog security cameras; louder horn, flashing lights to warn of gate movement; video cameras to ensure boats are not under the gates; additional gate position and proximity switches for remote operations.
- Wholesale replacement of the facility with features, such as locks.
Work efforts will focus on development of alternatives, and environmental compliance to improve operation of the DCC gates, working collaboratively with Reclamation. Additional details regarding the efforts are provided in 9.0 Tasks below.
The need is to develop evaluations and feasibility level Technical Memorandums. The Contractor shall complete environmental compliance in accordance with Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA, the Clean Water Act, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as amended, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1500-1508), the Department of Interior’s (DOI) regulations for implementing NEPA (43 CFR Part 46), and the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) NEPA Handbook (latest version available - dated February 2012), and Secretarial Order 3355 (Streamlining National Environmental Policy Reviews and Implementation of Executive Order 13807).
Additionally, the Biological Assessment will include appropriate information on Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) that will result in conclusion of consultation with NMFS under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). This contract will complete feasibility evaluation for more frequent operation of the DCC gates, appraisals for the level of evaluation for several alternatives, appraisal level cost estimates for several alternatives, a feasibility technical memorandum, and permitting, ESA, NEPA, and MSA consultations for DCC upgrades.
