The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Seattle District (NWS) has been tasked with design of access road improvements for the Wyckoff/Eagle Harbor Superfund Site on Bainbridge Island, Kitsap County, Washington. As part of the 2018 Record of Decision Amendment (RODA), EPA elected to improve the site access road for construction of future remedial activities. The roadway improvements will reduce the steep grade over a portion of the road and straighten a sharp curve to allow transport of large construction equipment and materials to the work area. The City of Bainbridge Island owns the property where the access road improvements will be constructed. The road design consists of approximately 750' of paved roadway. The typical road section will be 20' wide with 3' gravel shoulders and an armored drainage ditch on the downhill side. The road will require cut and fill earthwork to meet the final grades. The average road grade is 12% leading down to a small turnaround and the Wyckoff Superfund Site. This work will be completed outside of the Wyckoff facility and does not contain contaminated soils. Access down the road will need to be maintained through the duration of construction to facilitate access to the Wyckoff facility. There are Water, Power, and Communication utilities present on the site that will either need to be protected or relocated. The construction costs of this project will be subject to the disclosure of the magnitude of construction project, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36.204, between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The NAICS code for this project is 237310 with a small business size standard of $36.5M.
