The Port of Camas-Washougal has awarded a contract for a reconstruction and maintenance project at the port’s 350-slip marina in Washougal to an Oregon-based company, Legacy Contracting.
Legacy secured the contract with a bid of just under
$404,000. The work to be done includes reconstruction and replacement of aging
walkways, floats and pilings.
Floats for the docks, the plumbing, pilings and electrical
installation will be provided by four Washougal-based subcontractor businesses.
According to port executive director David Ripp, the window
for in-water work that was approved by the Washington State Department of Fish
and Wildlife is Oct. 1 through Nov. 30. Work done during this time includes
replacement of deteriorated wood pilings with 65-foot steel pilings to help
anchor the floating dock system.
“We will be able to complete this project with minimal
inconvenience to our tenants and boaters during the less busy fall and winter
seasons,” Ripp said.
Substantial completion of the project is scheduled for Jan.
31, 2014.
The port says it anticipates intermittent power outages
during the project that will affect tenants in the upper and lower portions of
the marina and that there will also be limited access to the docks during the
headwalk section replacement.
Detailed information is expected be provided to marina tenants
throughout the process, according to the port. Written notices of construction
plans are expected to be supplemented by signage in the marina as well as
information on the website project page at http://portcw.com/index.php/projects/2013_marina_projects/.
