PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Bull Run Watershed Restoration Phase IV project base items will replace one undersized culvert with an aquatic organism passage structure on Forest Service Road (FSR) 7370 over Boundary Creek. A 15'-0" steel multi-plate culvert will be installed on pre-cast concrete footings and incorporate stream simulation. The base also includes roadway reconditioning FSR 7370 for 3.77 miles, installing drainage culverts, and improving surface drainage. There are four optional items in this project. Option one would include placing government furnished crushed aggregate on 3.77 miles of FSR 7370 along with placing pit run in places. Option two would replace an undersized culvert on East Fork Boundary Creek on FSR 7370. This would include installing an 11'-0" steel multi-plate culvert on pre-cast concrete footings and incorporating stream simulation. The third option is to replace an undersized culvert on Corral Creek and FSR 7366 with an 11'-0" steel multi-plate culvert on pre-cast concrete footings and incorporate stream simulation. Option item four is clearing and grubbing, roadway reconditioning of FSR 7366 for approximately 2.2 miles, constructing surface drainage, and installing drainage culverts. The instream window for all three aquatic organism passage structures is July 15th - August 15th.
