Kittitas Conservation Trust (KCT) seeks a qualified contractor to provide Construction Services to complete a large stream restoration project near Snoqualmie Pass, WA. KCT is issuing this Request for Bids (RFB) as part of our larger effort to sustain bull trout populations in the upper Yakima Basin. The Gold Creek Valley Restoration Project (GCVRP) aims to shorten the extent and duration of summer dewatering in Gold Creek and improve instream habitat quality, quantity, and complexity for the Gold Creek Bull Trout population. In addition to improving habitat, a component of this project is to reduce the flow siphon effect of two former gravel borrow pits, Gold Creek Pond and Heli's Pond, which funnel groundwater that would otherwise contribute to Gold Creek flows. This project will restore 2.5 miles of instream habitat, 245 acres of floodplains, 47 acres of riparian and forested wetland habitat, and partial filling of two former borrow pits in the project area. The GCVRP is located on US Forest Service land, as well as multiple privately owned parcels.
