SUMMARY: Staff
proposes to enter into an agreement with Scardina Builders, Inc. for repair
work on the rearing channel at the Sleepy Hollow Steelhead Rearing Facility
(Facility). The two-part project consists of 1) removal of the existing
deteriorated bird netting, then repairing the storm damaged metal framework
over the channel, and 2) the replacement of the redwood planking that caps the
top edge of the channel. The framework has been damaged by wind and falling branches
over the winter, with some sections leaning significantly to the side while
others have broken components. Additionally, half the footings were secured
into the wood planking, causing water damage and wood rot. These footings need
to be moved over and remounted onto the concrete wall or into ground and the
entire framework may need to be moved to the side about six inches. The redwood
planking is 22 years old and has significant dry rot and splitting and needs to
be replaced. The planks hold up the channel liner, support the existing
plumbing, and are the working surface used by staff for all fisheries
activities.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to enter into an
agreement with Scardina Builders, Inc. to provide rearing channel repair work
for a not-to-exceed amount of $25,500. Due to the unknown nature of
the frame repair work, an additional $4,500 is requested as a contingency in
the case of unexpected expenses, for a project total of up to $30,000.
DISCUSSION: The
Facility was constructed in 1996 with the bird netting added in 1998. Staff has
done minor to moderate repairs to the rearing channel and its components over
the years, but time and strong winter storms have combined to make major
repairs a necessity this year. Staff hopes to have the project completed before
this winter. New netting will then be purchased and installed by staff before
next year’s rescues.
