Westmoreland phase II fish passage improvement project

The Westmoreland Phase II Fish Passage Improvement Project improves fish and wildlife habitat in Crystal Springs Creek, a tributary of Johnson Creek, which flows to the Willamette River.

The project is located at two locations in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon: Westmoreland Park and the intersection of Tacoma Street and SE 21st Street.

The Westmoreland Park site includes removal of an existing shallow pond and re-grading of the existing channel to create a fish friendly stream channel surrounded by vegetated riparian zones and emergent wetlands. Also included will be trails and boardwalks to allow viewing of the streambank restoration channel.

The Tacoma Street site includes the removal of an existing 48" diameter culvert under Tacoma Street and replacing it with a bridge for better fish passage. The replacement will involve right-of-way reconstruction including the re-routing of utilities.

There are numerous complexities associated with this project, including but not limited to: Stream diversion required during the In Water Work (IWW) period prior to grading channel and culvert installation. Removal of contaminated media at both sites. Traffic flow on Tacoma Street will have two-way traffic lanes maintained throughout the culvert construction period. Protection of existing trees will be required during construction.

This procurement is unrestricted, with a NAICS code of 237990. Magnitude of Construction is $1,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00. A formal Request for Proposal (RFP) will follow this announcement on or about 31 July 2012.
