BACKGROUND:

The work covered by this contract consists of furnishing all equipment, labor, and materials required for the Loyall Ponding Phase 1 project located in the City of Loyall, KY in Harlan County. Job consists of repair/modify the inlet and outlet of the flow-through ponding area and provide access to downstream culvert for maintenance.

The work includes the following items and incidental related work.

a. Rehabilitation of Upstream Inlet (Sluice Gate). Currently this inlet is not functioning as an inlet as designed and will be repurposed into an outlet. The rehabilitation will include:

- modify current concrete structure.

- Clean out sediment/debris.

- Convert inlet into outlet structure by installing flap gate.

b. Installation of Upstream Access Road. A temporary access road will need to be constructed along the top of the upstream levee and traverse down the levee to the weir in the river. This road will be constructed out of shot rock and crushed stone. The road will be designed to support hauling trucks and the weir removal equipment.

c. Removal of Weir. Currently a weir is in the Cumberland River, upstream of the hwy 840 bridge.

The access road will be constructed to provide access to the weir and a pad of shot rock will also need to be constructed to give trucks the ability to reach the weir.

d. Replace Downstream Flap gate. The downstream culvert current flap gate is too heavy to operate and will be replaced with a lighter flap gate.

e. Construct Downstream Causeway. A causeway will be constructed out of shot rock and a smaller aggregate north of the downstream flap gate. A reinforced concrete pipe will be installed in the causeway to connect the pond to the river overflow.

Other drainage structures such as catch basins and HDPE pipe may be necessary to keep the causeway adequately drained.
