NEWSOME CREEK REACH 2 STREAM HABITAT IMPROVEMENT DESIGN

Amendment 1, Page 2 of 3 Dated 4/25/2016

2. Amend Header throughout the solicitation to reflect Solicitation Number AG-0343-S-16-0030. 0037 was typed in the header by mistake.

3. Amend Scope of contract, paragraph 1 by adding the following sentence at the end of paragraph 1. “Reach 2 project boundaries are illustrated on Attachment 9. The downstream project area boundary within which future construction activities will occur is marked with a vertical line and described as: “Reach 2 - 2016 Designation”.

4. Amend Scope of Contract, “design goals”, page 5, #2 as follows. Strike the words in parentheses and replace with “(pools, riffles, glides, alcoves, side channels, existing ponds, etc.)”.

5. Add the following language to Contractor Work Requirements and Standards, 3) on page 6 immediately after sentence 1:

“The system-of-wood installed in Stream Reaches 3-5 is not depicted in any previous contract documents; this system was constructed by reducing the size of large point structures shown on the plans and utilizing the excess wood along the streambanks to connect the point structures and in doing so, maximize fish habitat. In general, the government envisions that the current design for Reach 2 shall feature key wood structures to be constructed at specific locations (i.e. keyed into existing rock features or specifically located on newly constructed meanders) accompanied by a general description or typical depicting a system of wood to connect these point structures”.

6. Add the following language to Contractor Work Requirements and Standards, Considerations in Developing Design, 3) on page 7 immediately after sentence 1:

“The government and Nez Perce Tribe purposefully choose not to provide a budget for construction implementation within the solicitation. Designers should not constrain the conceptual design based on funding. After the conceptual design phase is complete, initial cost estimates may lead the government to request that the implementation of the work be phased. This would require the designer to separate the construction-ready plans, specifications and cost estimates to match the phasing agreed upon”.

7. Add Attachment 9, Newsome Creek Feasibility Study, Alternative 4, Reaches 1 and 2. (Uploaded to FBO in a separate document).
