Statement of Work A qualified engineering consultant is needed to further investigate assessment of options, methodology, and cost estimation of removal or notching of Englebright and DaGuerre Point Dams. A total budget of $95,500 is authorized for this work, subject to open bidding by qualified contractors. II. Background DaGuerre Point and Englebright Dams are located on the Yuba River, a major tributary in the Sacramento River watershed. These structures were built and placed in operation in 1941 and 1910, respectively, to control hydraulic mining debris. Currently the structures are owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In February 2010, Montgomery-Watson-Harza, Inc, under contract with the National Marine Fisheries Service produced a report entitled: "Yuba River Fish Passage: Conceptual Engineering Project Options." This report was a conceptual engineering survey of several different potential options for fish passage facilities which might be considered in the future design and implementation of an anadromous fish reintroduction program. Because of budget constraints at the time, two prominent options were excluded from the scope of that study: (1) complete dam removal, and (2) dam notching or other structural modifications along with additional (or improved) upstream and downstream fish passage facilities. This study aims to complete the fish passage alternatives analysis by focusing on these "unresolved elements" at this time. A companion study is being undertaken during the same time period as this scope of work, entitled: "Sediment Supply and Transport Dynamics in the Yuba River Watershed." It is envisioned that both contractors will work with NMFS to coordinate efforts and schedules, so that the work plans and work products may serve to inform both studies. Hereafter, where referenced, the above named study will be abbreviated as "Sediment Transport Modeling Study." III. Description of Work and Services Note: NMFS staff offers to provide considerable research and technical assistance for certain tasks, as noted below. The Contractor is responsible for assessing the content of all contributed information, and for making final decisions about inclusion of any contributed information into the final report. Task 1.0 Research, Analyze, and Describe Dam Deconstruction or Modification Options Task 1.1 Review and synthesize existing information Review and synthesize existing information and issues relative to removal and/or notching of Englebright and DaGuerre Point Dam. (NMFS staff shall provide existing information for consideration by contractor) Task 1.2 Describe Engineering Approach to Deconstruction or Modification of Englebright and DaGuerre Point Dams. Provide an overview of the construction methods and engineering approaches for complete dam removal or dam modification (i.e.-"notching"), based on proprietary knowledge, engineering experience, and review of other proposed or completed projects of similar scale. (NMFS staff to provide some existing background information on projects of similar scale). Task 1.3 Identify Future, Detailed Analysis and Regulatory Procedures that may be required Provide a listing of future, detailed analysis that would be required, in subsequent stages of an engineering design process, in order to implement dam removal, dam notching, and/or fitting modified structures with effective upstream and downstream "fishways" for volitional passage of anadromous fish (adult and juvenile life stages). NMFS staff will supply existing information for contractor's consideration, pertaining to: (1) analysis required for upstream and downstream fish passage facility options that might be considered in a "dam notching scenario" and (2) regulatory procedures/permits that may be required) Task 1.4 Analyze at least 4 possible dam removal scenarios Identify, discuss, and analyze a set of at least four (4) dam removal (or dam modification) scenarios. The selection of scenarios must be in consultation with the NMFS Project Officer and staff (or others as directed by NMFS Project Officer), who will assist in coordinating inputs from other qualified and interested parties. It is expected that the analysis of possible dam removal scenarios will be developed in conjunction with information developed in the "Sediment Transport Modeling Study." Analysis should include plausible scenarios for the complete, partial, and/or step-wise removal of the Englebright and DaGuerre Point dam structures. Describe these scenarios in engineering and construction terms with respect to a set of realistic and achievable alternative approaches, using appropriate inputs from the associated "Sediment Transport Modeling Study" (as described in section II). In addition to the analysis of selected alternative scenarios, contractor shall also identify any additional constructed features (permanent, temporary, or ancillary) or large construction materials and equipment that would be required under each selected scenario. For example, temporary or permanent roadways, power supplies, coffer dams, pumping or dredging equipment, demolition equipment, etc. For the option that involves dam modifications or "notching" with added fish ladders, the contractor should provide representative plan and/or profile drawings, and /or landscape level renderings, or other representative graphical or photographic aids to help depict the concept. (NMFS staff will provide information for considerations involved with managing the aquatic and riparian habitat changes during (de)construction phases, and provide technical assistance with respect to the conceptual engineering approaches to constructed fishways on Englebright and DaGuerre Point Dams. Task 2.0 Develop a schedule of cost estimates and estimated time lines for all selected alternatives For all dam removal or dam modification scenarios, contractor shall develop: (1) a comprehensive schedule of cost estimates, utilizing the "Opinion of Probable Costs" approach as suggested by AACE International Guidelines, (2) an estimated, preliminary timeline, including a schedule of major or controlling tasks Task 3.0 Describe Elements of an Potential Adaptive Management Program The description should include a discussion of possible adaptive management provisions, and foreseeable contingency plans. This Discussion should take into account the information developed in the Sediment Transport Modeling Study. It should also be based on hydrologic forecasting considerations, and a monitoring and evaluation program. IV. Deliverables All deliverables will be submitted to the NMFS Project Officer. 01 -Not later than October 20, 2012, or soon after contract is authorized and activated, conduct a conference call with NMFS Project Officer (and other parties as directed by NMFS Project Officer) to engage in project coordination activities 02 -Not later than January 20, 2012, provide to NMFS Contract Officer a draft outline and description of elements as listed in tasks 1-3 above, including subtask 03 -Not later than February 20, 2012, provide to NMFS Contract Officer a final outline and description of elements as listed in Tasks 1-3 above, including subtasks 04 -Not later than August 15, 2012, provide to NMFS Contract Officer a draft report containing all of the elements required by Tasks 1-3 above, including subtasks. 05 -Not later than September 30, 2012, provide to NMFS Contract Officer a Final Report, containing all of the elements required by Tasks 1-3 above, including subtasks. V. Non-Personal Service Contract Statement Contractor employees performing services under this order will be controlled, directed and supervised at all times by management personnel of the contractor. Contractor employees will perform independent of and without the supervision of any Government official. Actions of contractor employees may not be interpreted or implemented in any manner that results in any contractor employee creating or modifying Federal policy, obligating the appropriated funds of the U.S. Government, overseeing the work of Federal employees, providing direct personal services to any Federal employee or otherwise violating the prohibitions set forth in Parts 7.5 and 37.1 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations. The Government will perform the inspection and acceptance of the completed work. VI.
