RFQ for FY26 Quillayute River Channel Log Obstruction Removal - La Push, WA

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document appears to be a collection of survey data, likely related to bathymetry or seabed mapping. It includes screenshots from a navigation or sonar system displaying waypoints, depth readings, and potentially sonar imagery. The data includes specific coordinates, depths, dates, and times, suggesting it's a record of surveyed locations and conditions.

• Waypoint Data: Includes a waypoint named "Submerged tree" with coordinates (47°54'.591 N 124°38'.348 W), date (2025/06/25), depth (10.0ft), and time (07:04:50am).
• Depth Soundings: Numerous depth readings are presented in tabular format, likely representing surveyed depths across various locations. Some tables show depths in feet and meters.
• Sonar Imagery: Visual representations of the seabed or submerged objects are displayed, possibly from side-scan sonar or multibeam echosounder data.
• System Information: Details such as "Serial Port: Connected to COM 4 at 19200bps" and "RIP Stream: PACWAVRSRTCM3" indicate the data acquisition system.
• Z Scale: Multiple instances of "Z Scale = 1.0" suggest a consistent vertical scaling for the displayed imagery.

This document provides raw survey data that could be crucial for understanding the physical characteristics of a project area. Bidders involved in marine construction, dredging, surveying, or environmental assessments would use this data to assess site conditions, identify potential hazards (like submerged objects), plan operations, and estimate costs. The detailed depth soundings and sonar imagery are particularly important for any work requiring knowledge of the seabed topography and composition.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding RFQ W912DW26QA042 for the Quillayute River Channel Log Obstruction Removal.

• Hydrographic Survey Data: USACE has hydrographic survey and imaging data, but no underwater photos or dive reports.
• Water Depths: Depths in the obstruction area are approximately 12.5' MLLW, with the obstruction point at 7.4' to 9.2' MLLW. These are not concrete due to tide and river flow fluctuations.
• Tree Condition: No information is available on whether the tree is embedded in the riverbed or its estimated root ball size. Imagery shows a possible root ball, but no dimensions. It is not believed to be multiple trees/debris. Recent scans (April 2025, Oct 2025, and a USCG scan) indicate the tree has not shifted.
• Previous Removal Attempts: USACE attempted to move the obstruction with a skiff and line, but it could only be rotated. No other attempts were made.
• Equipment: Use of a float crane or dive team is anticipated but not required.
• Navigational Restrictions: No river navigation closures. Dive operations are recommended at slack tide. No fish windows, environmental permitting, or noise restrictions.
• Staging Areas: No identified staging areas; coordination with the Tribe will be necessary.
• Shoreline Access: Mora Road is off-limits due to construction and permit requirements.
• Disposal: Ocean disposal is permitted but not required on the oceanside of the Rialto Revetment. The tree can be sectioned/cut prior to disposal.
• Survey Verification: The Government will provide survey verification before and after removal operations.
• Monitoring: No additional monitoring specific to this project beyond local and federal guidelines.
• Site Visit: Not planned by the Government; contractors are free to conduct their own site visit.
• Contractor Responsibility: The Contractor is responsible for all means and methods for retrieval and removal.

This Q&A clarifies several aspects of the project, including available data, site conditions, potential equipment, disposal methods, and contractor responsibilities. Bidders should review these responses carefully as they may impact their understanding of the scope and their proposal preparation.
