Project Background. The existing rockfall protection was constructed and installed as part of the original construction of Foster Dam in 1964 and consists of 9-gauge galvanized mesh secured to the rock face with #6 unthreaded bars bolted at up to 20ft spacing along with #8 bars for spot bolting. The rockfall protection was installed on approximately 30 ft vertical rock faces adjacent to the two penstocks and the City of Sweet Home's water supply line. Currently, several of the existing rock bolts have slipped and the mesh is loose in various areas. The existing mesh itself looks to be in good condition. Localized rockfall has occurred causing material build up and damage to the access staircase to the Sweet Home Water Supply Line. Due to this, rockfall protection is needed to prevent possible future damage to the Sweet Home Water Supply Line and the two penstocks. Project Scope. This effort includes the construction of rockfall protection at Foster Dam on the vertical rock faces adjacent to the Foster Dam penstocks, associated concrete structures and the Sweet Home Water Supply Line. The construction will consist of scaling, vegetation removal, rockfall mesh installation and bolting of identified unstable rock features. Access to the site can be achieved via the access road behind the Foster Dam Project Office and the public roadway across the dam's spillway. Coordination with USACE for roadway closures over the dam's spillway will be required. Rock faces will be split into zones of priority with lower priorities included as Optional items. The expected order of priority to be: Current unprotected rock faces adjacent to critical infrastructure Current protected rock faces adjacent to critical infrastructure Current unprotected rock faces not adjacent to critical infrastructure Current protected rock faces not adjacent to critical infrastructure Anticipated Construction Schedule: CENWP intends to advertise (NOV 2024) and award (DEC 2024) Construction Contract with estimated construction completion by the end of (JUN 2024).
