Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Completed plans call for the construction of a water / sewer project; and municipal facility.

**As of August 16, 2022, project was awarded to Klamath Falls Phase 2 , awarded amount is $8,629,129.10.* Project Summary New Hatchery The proposed project involves the construction of the second phase of a new fish sucker fish hatchery located on Lower Klamath Lake Road in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The proposed project will be located on land that is owned by a private party and leased to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the project. Existing aquaculture operations occupy portions of the project site. The first phase of the project includes a 1.08 acre earthen, lined pond for water storage known as the Influent Retention Pond (IRP) or head pond, and up to 10 earthen, lined ponds for aquaculture. The first phase also includes construction of an 8-inch diameter buried geothermal supply (GS) pipeline beginning at an existing well on the site and extending approximately 2,990 feet to discharge at the IRP, and construction of gravel and asphalt concrete surfaced access roads on the site. Klamath Falls New Hatchery Phase 2 will add facilities to the site to increase the capabilities of the sucker fish hatchery. This phase will include a new Hatchery Building for office, laboratory and aquaculture functions, a new Maintenance Building, up to four aquaculture ponds and a detention pond. Additionally, a building yard area will be constructed surrounding the two buildings for vehicle and equipment circulation. The hatchery building and maintenance building will be pre-engineered metal buildings and will have the same exterior dimensions. Aquaculture ponds will be lined, earthen berm ponds with harvest kettle structures built into their berms, water supply, and drainage. The aquaculture ponds will typically be 5 to 7 feet deep with berms that are 6 to 8 feet tall, and vary in size from 1/4-acre to 1/2-acre. Supply pipelines, drainage pipelines and access roads will be constructed around each of the ponds. Construction work needed to facilitate the project includes excavation, fill placement, grading, temporary erosion and sedimentation control, permanent seeding, pond liners, cast-in-place concrete structures, paving and crushed rock road surfacing, pressurized pipelines for geothermal water distribution, gravity pipelines for drainage, gabion wall, building foundations, pre-engineered metal buildings, building interior construction for office, lab and restroom spaces, sewer system and on-site sewage treatment system, domestic water storage, treatment and circulation system, site and building electrical and lighting systems, and building mechanical systems. Existing Site Description The 25 - acre site is located immediately east of Lower Klamath Lake Road and approximately 12 miles south of Klamath Falls in southern Klamath County, Oregon. The site lies at the southwest flank of the Klamath Hills adjacent to farmland reclaimed from the former Lower Klamath Lake. The site can be divided into two areas, including an irregularly shaped 21 - acre area, identified as the northern portion, as well as an approximately 4.7 - acre rectangular area adjacent to the Lower Klamath Lake Road identified as the southern portion. The site is currently occupied by a private fish hatchery. The majority of the site is lightly developed with facilities operated by the current fish hatchery, which includes several dozens of lined hatchery ponds and three tarpcovered workshops. The hatchery site is surrounded by undeveloped juniper and sagebrush grassland. Existing access roadways at the site are mostly surfaced with gravel; however, many of the pathways are undeveloped and consist of native soils. A geothermal well is located south of the southern portion of the site with metal piping that routes the hot geothermal water to cooling ponds far northeast of the northern portion of the site. Project Magnitude: Between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document.
