General Project Information

Design and construct channel maintenance structure at two (2) arroyo locations and channel excavation within the Rio Grande Canalization Project (RGCP) in Dona Ana County, New Mexico.

The work requires design and construction of an excavated channel to remove localized sediment and vegetated islands within the main Rio Grande from the Rincon to Bignell Arroyos. At the Rincon and Reed Arroyos, the work requires evaluation of alternatives, design, and construction of channel maintenance structures to reduce sediment inflow to the RGCP.

 Major tasks for the Phase I - Design of the project:

1.            Site investigation

2.            Site surveying

3.            Any required geotechnical investigations, modeling, or testing.

4.            Production of construction documents (drawings and technical specifications)

5.            Production of all project reports

6.            HEC-RAS 2D/FLO-2D/HEC-RAS Modeling

7.            Coordination with stakeholders

8.            Coordination with USIBWC

Major tasks for the Phase II - Construction of the project:

1.            Site preparation

2.            Construction of channel maintenance structures at arroyos

3.            Excavation of the channel for removal sediment and vegetated islands

4.            Build access roads needed for routine maintenance

5.            Disposal of sediment, debris, and construction waste from jobsite

6.            Final site surveying

The Design‑Builder shall be responsible for complying with all applicable regulations, laws, or permitting authorities pertaining to construction of this project.
