Summary Scope of Work (SOW): OVERVIEW: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Seattle District, requires repairs to damaged and eroded concrete on the south side of the spillway, fish ladder and stilling basin. Damage include holes in the spillway monolith ogee surface, missing concrete between the fish ladder structure and spillway apron with exposed native foundation materials and eroded concrete between the sheet pile wall and the fish ladder. Repairs must prevent undercutting failure of the fish ladder and stilling basin apron by providing reliable materials such as grout or concrete to prevent further erosion of the foundation materials and structure. In Water Work: This project will include the placement of concrete or grout in water. The project will likely require divers to perform or assist in placement of materials. Construction may require some underwater demolition of concrete to get a good surface for adhesion of grout or concrete and the project may possibly require minor welding of steel sheet pile. Environmentally Sensitive Project Location: The work will be performed at the Lake Washington Ship Canal in the water along the fish ladder and southern part of the spillway apron and ogee. All waters around the Locks is considered environmentally sensitive for various reason however this work is to be performed while ESA listed Chinook salmon are swimming up river for spawning and must access the fish ladder in the foot print of our Construction site. Special consideration will be made to prevent trauma to the ESA listed Salmon which includes but is not limited to: non-toxic Construction materials, reduced sound and equipment or the use of bubble curtains in the affected area, monitoring of water quality and ph levels as well as other measures deemed necessary for survivability. Condensed Schedule for Award, Submittals and Construction: This repair work is considered an emergency repair which must be completed before flood season begins. All in water work must be completed no later than 30 September 2020.
