Plymouth Island Bank Stabilization

Project Scope: Plymouth Island is located two miles west of McNary Dam, off of the Washington shore. The island has various known archeological sites. The area of concern for this action is along the southwest shoreline of Plymouth Island. This area is subjected to ongoing erosion which exposes cultural artifacts along the bank. There are two prominent features exposed in the work area. This portion of bank is roughly 600 feet long with a 3 to 5 foot high cut bank.

A gravel revetment will be used as it is a soft erosion control method to protect the sensitive sites and will impede further erosion. Geotextile fabric will be installed on existing grade to further protect cultural resources. Core and cover gravel will be placed on the fabric. Three rows of willows will be planted at the top of the bank along the revetment. Sand and gravel will naturally travel with the wave action. There is an assumed maintenance period of five years where new gravel will be required.

Contractor access to the island is possible from land or water, although land-based is preferred. Water access is limited due to depth, vessels will not make it to the island without a ramp or bridge. A two-track road is available for Contractor use with the expectation that it is left to be filled in with natural vegetation after construction. No excavation will be permitted onsite.

Magnitude of construction: The estimated cost of the project is between $250,000 and $500,000.

Set Asides and Codes: This will be procured as a total small business set-aside. This effort is classified through the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) under code 237990 - Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. The Small Business Size Standard $36.5M. The FSC is Y293 - Construction/Unimproved Real Property.
