Bridge Bank Stabilization Project Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan Service

A government authority in San Carlos, CA is seeking a qualified vendor to provide services for a bridge bank stabilization project, focusing on habitat mitigation and monitoring. The scope of work includes preparing the site by topping an ash tree on the northern bank, installing steel plates, and placing tree protection fencing. The project also involves delivering boulders by truck, using a chute from the northern bank to the creek bed, and accessing the site from the Palo Alto side with a front-end loader to place the boulders.

Further tasks include installing a vegetated boulder revetment to mitigate streambank erosion and increase riparian cover, removing existing concrete bags at the Menlo Park outfall, and replacing them with an energy dissipation rock pad. The outfall will be reconfigured to help prevent future erosion. Additionally, a fallen tree will be replaced in the creek to enhance habitat complexity and provide refugia for fish. The overall goal of the project is to implement bank stabilization measures that prevent erosion and decrease fine sediment entering the stream, while promoting ecological restoration and habitat improvement.
