PROJECT INTRODUCTION:

The Yuba Water Construction Authority (Owner) is a joint powers authority formed by the Yuba

County Water Agency (Agency) and County of Yuba to undertake public works projects on behalf

of the Agency at Agency’s s expense. Owner has agreed to develop and construct the Daguerre

Point Nature-like Fishway Project (Project) on Agency’s behalf and is issuing a Request for

Proposals (RFP) in search of qualified firms (Proposers) to provide pre-construction and

construction services (Work) as a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the Project.

The Project is one component of a collaborative watershed recovery effort called the Yuba River

Resiliency Initiative. This initiative is transformational and will provide critical support for target

fish species while meeting the goals and priorities of the California Department of Fisheries and

Wildlife (CDFW), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Yuba Water Agency. These

partners came together to identify priority recovery actions in the Yuba River, which includes

constructing a nature-like fishway (with a modernized irrigation diversion structure and fish

screen) at Daguerre Point around Daguerre Point Dam (an Army Corp of Engineers owned and

operated Facility).

The Project has been designed to provide fish passage around the dam for all target species

while accommodating flood flows and downstream sediment transport. The project will provide

the following benefits:

1. Volitional passage around Daguerre Point Dam for federally threatened southern Distinct

Population Segment (DPS) of North American green sturgeon, state and federally

threatened Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon Evolutionarily Significant Unit

(ESU), federally threatened California Central Valley steelhead DPS, as well as Pacific

lamprey and the commercially and recreationally valuable Central Valley fall/late fall-run

Chinook salmon ESU.

2. Full access to 12.6 miles of high-quality, increasingly rare, and uniquely cool in-river

habitat for target fish species between Daguerre Point Dam and Englebright Dam.

3. Improved water supply reliability for the local farming community, the primary economic

engine in Yuba County which is an important agricultural region.

4. Upgraded water supply intake/fish screen structures to meet NMFS and CDFW design

criteria.

Project Costs are expected to exceed $60 million, inclusive of pre-construction and construction

services to be provided by the selected CMAR entity. Please refer to Attachment 2 to this RFP

for a detailed Scope of Work for this Project.
