Wash fans are identified for removal when, river flows are forced by the fan into the opposite bankline, causing erosion and impacting channel capacity. The work to be performed includes, but not limited to, any or all of the following tasks: a. Excavate wash fan sediment and rock material from areas along the bankline of the Colorado River above and up to 8-feet below the ordinary low water elevation of the river. b.

Unload excavated wash fan sediment and rock material at identified stockpile locations and place in accordance with the Task Order specifications. d. Conduct dust abatement and erosion control required by applicable permits. e. Provide traffic control required to conduct the work safely. f. When required, obtaining Section 402 Clean Water Act authorization/permits for proposed land disturbance activities. This solicitation is set-aside 100% for HUBZone.
