River Trail Underpass contract recommended; project includes remediation and trail work
Summary
The committee recommended a contract with RG Houston Company for the River Trail Underpass, a remediation-heavy project that fills headrace and tailrace, remediates the powerhouse basement and allows future marketing of the site once it is no longer a dam structure.
Staff explained that the River Trail Underpass contract with RG Houston Company includes remediation along the river, underpass and trail construction, and filling the headrace and tailrace. The work also includes remediation of the powerhouse basement; once filled and secured staff said the powerhouse would no longer be treated as a dam structure and could be marketed.
Staff noted the project budget draws on multiple line items and secured grant funds; it will carry a contingency to account for remediation unknowns. The committee voted to recommend the contract to council by voice vote.
