THE FULL SOLICIATION WILL INCLUDE ALL DETAILS REGARDNG THIS PROJECT. USDA Forest Service NFsNC, Grandfather Ranger District, Caldwell County, NC has a requirement for Boone Fork Stream Enhancement: Within this stream reach, work is proposed to stabilize erosion and sources of sedimentation, improve aquatic habitat diversity, and improve floodplain access. This will be accomplished using natural channel design techniques including the construction of instream structures such as debris jams, log vanes and toe-wood revetment. The channel’s natural dimension, pattern, and profile would be reestablished in the constructed reach using reference reach information to establish a stable stream channel with high quality aquatic habitat. FSR 2055 Drainage Improvements: Stabilize scoured channels downstream from road drainage features including culvert outlets and locations of channel bottom instability. Add additional ditch relief culverts to the road to reduce stormflow reaching the unstable locations. FSR 6089 & 966 Drainage Improvements & Deep Cove Aquatic Organism Passage: On FSR 6089 stabilize the culvert outlet at the Benson Hollow crossing. On FSR 966 replace failing culvert with a ford or larger culvert on Raccoon Cove and stabilize sources of road failure and erosion further south on the road. Remove the FSR 6089/966 crossing on Deep Cove and replace it with a constructed natural bottom ford. The Forest Service gate is located over the culvert, therefore that gate would need to be relocated closer to the junction with the main road (FSR 2055), and maintain closure of the gate to limit access across the ford to administrative use. This is only a general description of the project. All items on Schedule of Items must be priced to be considered for award.
