Summary of Scope of Work: This project involves the removal and replacement of reinforced earth-retaining and slab-on-grade concrete structures in the Russell Creek outlet canal. The right wall at the lower valve house has failed by falling into the channel and the left wall has deflected such that it is no longer stable. The contractor shall perform the following tasks: A) Remove the reinforced concrete wall and floor segment enclosed within the dashed rectangles shown in figures 1 and 2 from the channel. The right retaining wall (when looking downstream) has fallen into channel. B) Remove rock, sediment, and vegetation out of the channel for 200 feet downstream of valve house. C) Construct new cast-in-place left and right reinforced concrete walls and floor slab. The replacement earth retaining walls will maintain the original water surface profile but with thicker sections. The wall elevations are not expected to change from the original design shown in figures 1 and 2. The estimated wall and slab thickness is 18-inches. Note the right wall embankment rises approximately 20 feet above the top of wall. The left wall embankment is approximately level with the top of wall elevation shown in figures 1 and 2.
