SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES Work under this solicitation consists of restoring approximately 550 feet of the historical channel alignment of Woodman Creek at its confluence with the Eel River to improve fish access to Woodman Creek for juvenile and adult salmon and steelhead. A comprehensive description of the work plan is presented in (1) the Pacific Watershed Associates Report titled 100% Roads, Rails, and Spoils Management Plan (PWA, 2016) and (2) the Mike Love and Associates California Trout Plans for Construction of the Woodman Creek Barrier Removal Project (MLA, 2016) which contains 14 design sheet drawings, and written construction material and work specifications. In order to provide for permanent fish passage at Woodman Creek, it is estimated that approximately 44,000 yd3 of material consisting of railroad embankment material and fine-grain sediment deposits must be exported from the project site, and the only feasible route to accomplish this task is along the railroad right-of-way to off-site designated spoil material disposal sites located 1.0 to 3.0 miles north from the Woodman Creek Barrier site. Approximately 1,700 yd3 of railroad alignment embankment materials will be utilized on site to construct the core of a channel plug to block streamflow from its current alignment. The Contractor will excavate railroad embankment material and deposited sediments along the historical Woodman Creek channel alignment to expose the native bedrock/boulder channel bed to provide unimpeded fish passage. An estimate of the shape, overall slope, and depth to the natural channel bed has been developed based on the geologic investigation, and is shown in the Plan Design Sheets. The existing flow path of the Woodman Creek, through the bedrock cut under the railroad trestle, will be plugged as part of the project. The channel plug will consist of approximately 1,700 yd3 of select salvaged materials from the railroad embankment, a geomembrane core placed onto a new cast-in-place concrete footing, and imported riprap. Heavy equipment will convert the railroad right-of-way to a construction haul route that is suitable and safe for 20 yd3 off-highway dump trucks to end-haul all spoil material to permanent spoil disposal areas. The haul route will also include existing roads on the Christensen Ranch. The existing roads will be upgraded to accommodate 20 yd3 off-highway dump trucks and to improve drainage on the Christensen haul road (Plan Design Sheets 1-14). The first components of this project include removal and placement for long-term storage of approximately 9,000 feet of rail along the NWP railroad alignment and the permanent removal and on-site disposal of approximately 400 feet of rail ties where the fish passage project will occur, to result in conversion of approximately 4,200 feet of rail road to haul road for site access and spoil removal (Plan Design Sheets 1-14). To provide access to the work area, temporary crossings will be constructed on the Christensen haul route at nine (9) locations where steep gradient ephemeral streams cross the new haul route (Plan Design Sheet 6). These stream crossings will be converted to armored fill crossings once the fish passage project is complete. The purpose of improving the Christensen haul route construction is to allow its use for end-hauling spoil material to permanent spoil disposal areas. In addition, there are 11 small, steep ephemeral stream crossing along the railroad haul route that will be temporarily treated and filled or graded smooth so as to complete the excavation and end-hauling and tasks associated with the sequential steps to treat the Woodman Creek fish passage project. Following the end-hauling of all project spoil materials, the contractor will treat 9 of the small stream crossings along railroad haul route by exhuming the natural channel to allow flow across bedrock exposures (Plan Design Sheets 5 and 6); the 2 other stream crossing on the railroad haul route will be exhumed in work at the project site. At the Project Site, dewatering of Woodman Creek will be performed to keep soils and excavated




materials as dry as possible during work activities and non-work hours to reduce the potential for causing excessive erosion and downstream water quality impacts. For the spoil areas, haul routes, and access roads, watering will be performed during work activities to gain soil compaction as well as dust reduction. Water will be drafted from a large pool on the Eel River using a 4 inch pump and stored in a total of four 5,000 gallon temporary holding tank with a float valve/switch (Design Plan Sheets 5 and 6). Any equipment work within the low flow stream channel shall be performed in isolation from the clear flowing streamflow. Fish relocation will be performed by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) staff biologists or fisheries consultants under the supervision of CalTrout. Fish will be excluded from the work area by blocking the stream channel above and below the work area with a fine-meshed net or screen.

Note: This Project is subject to prevailing wage requirements, and requires both a “bid bond” and a “performance bond” for 100% of the contracted bid amount.!

1.2 LOCATION OF THE WORK The site can be accessed from Highway 101 north of the town of Laytonville, CA. From Laytonville, proceed north on Hwy 101 for approximately 9 miles.
