Z -- Red River Stream Improvement

This project involves the construction of stream improvement features over approximately 2 miles of Red River. The work includes instream habitat structure installation, channel relocation, earthwork, and revegetation. This project is located approximately 55 miles east of Grangeville via State Highway 14 to the junction of Red River Road (NFS road 222) then proceeding approximately 10 miles on the Red River Road. The project is located on the Red River Ranger District, Nez Perce National Forest, Idaho County, Idaho. Price estimate for the total project is $500-1,000,000. It is anticipated that the solicitation will issue during the winter of 2007-2008. The site is adjacent to a plowed county road, but will be difficult to view and assess during typical winter snow conditions. A pre-bid tour will be conducted on Friday, November 9, 2007. Participants will meet at the Red River Ranger Station at 10:00 AM local time. The Ranger Station is located approximately 2 miles beyond the beginning of the project area on NFS Road 222. To see the project area fully, stream crossings through knee-deep water will be required; therefore, it is recommended that participants come equipped with waders.
