SUMMARY SCOPE OF WORK Naches Segment 7 Levee - The levee is located on the left bank of the Naches River, Yakima County, Washington, near the town of Naches. The levee segment has experienced erosion and loss of bank armoring on the riverward slope upstream of the S. Naches Road Bridge, as a result of a discrete flood event initiated on 11 December 2025. Damages to the levee segment itself consist of 500 feet of erosion of slope protection and the possible minor loss of embankment material. The levee was rated �Minimally Acceptable� in the last Continuing Eligibility Inspection (CEI) dated: 21 May 2025. The rest of the levee is in generally good condition with minor deficiencies noted by USACE inspectors. This levee protects residential homes, farms, and public infrastructure. The damaged area of the levee segment should be regraded, stabilized, and armored before the next flood season which can begin in the spring of this year. Yakima Authorized Left Bank Levee - The levee is located on the left bank of the Yakima River, Yakima County, Washington, near the city of Yakima. The levee segment has experienced erosion of a constructed berm along the toe of the levee at two locations. This berm was constructed as part of an ecosystem restoration project as a haul road for the construction of a side channel to the Yakima River. The new channel has been activated and flows a significant volume of water along the toe of the Federal levee that the system was never exposed to previously. The berm is severely damaged, but the levee appears to be intact. Damages to the levee segment itself consist of 500 feet of erosion of slope protection and the possible minor loss of embankment material. The damages were located on a bench riverward of the levee slope in two locations. One location near Stat 94+00 for about 100 lf and one location near Sta 90+00 for about 200 lf. The location near Sta 90+00 is in a berm that was constructed as part of the environmental restoration project and is considered sacrificial. No repair of the berm is required. The levee was rated �Minimally Acceptable� in the last Continuing Eligibility Inspection (CEI) dated: 21 May 2025. The rest of the levee is in generally good condition with minor deficiencies noted by USACE inspectors. This levee protects businesses, commercial properties, residential homes, and public infrastructure. The damaged area of the levee segment should be regraded, stabilized, and armored before the next flood season which can begin in the spring of this year. USACE expects to award a single contract to cover both locations in June 2026 with an expected in-water work window between mid-July and mid-October 2026. All on-site work shall be performed in accordance with the USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1). The Contractor will be responsible for establishing and managing an effective on-site Safety and Health program in accordance with EM 385-1-1 that will require the development and submission of a comprehensive project specific Accident Prevention Plan for Government acceptance. In addition, the Contractor will be required to develop and submit for Government acceptance an Activity Hazard Analyses, for each phase of work that complies with EM 385-1-1. A Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) employed by the prime contractor shall be required for each shift of the contractor's on-site operations. The SSHO shall possess a minimum of 3-years of experience in construction safety on similar projects and shall have completed the 30-Hour OSHA Construction Safety training within the last 5-years. A Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead employed by the prime contractor will choose and install erosion control materials for specific site conditions, as necessary. The Contractor will be required to use the Government-furnished Construction Contractor Module (referred to as QCS) of the Resident Management System (RMS) to record, maintain, and submit various information throughout the contract period. QCS is a Windows-based program that can be run on a stand-alone personal computer or on a network. The Government will make the QCS software available to the Contractor after contract award.
