Clear <br />debris and obstacles in access -road approach to river and fill in ruts with gravel. <br />Mobilize 50 cu yds of rock from source location ten miles from project site in Antonito. Rock <br />meets specifications per NRCS engineering drawings for J -Hook installation. Quarry rock <br />donated by ditch shareholder. In -kind value = $35 /ton x 75 tons = $2,625 <br />Equipment - Excavator and Dump truck, 15 cu yd capacity <br />Method/Procedure — Mobilization shall include all activities and associated costs for <br />transportation of contractor's personnel, equipment, and operating supplies to the site following <br />NRCS specifications for mobilization and environmental guidelines. This work includes <br />mobilization required by the contract at the time of award. If additional mobilization activities <br />and costs are required during the performance of the contract as a result of changed, deleted, or <br />added items of work for which the contractor is entitled to an adjustment in contract price, <br />compensation for such costs will be included in the price adjustment for the item or items of <br />work changed or added. <br />Deliverable — This work was completed according to Phase I in Project proposal with no <br />additional mobilization activities or costs required. The roadway was cleared for equipment <br />access and the boulders and rocks were set in place ready for the next task. <br />TASK 2 — Shaping of River <br />Description of Task — Stabilize main channel flows in preparation for Phase II construction. <br />Equipment — Excavator <br />Method/Procedure — Restore integrity of main channel with excavator and redistribute material to <br />recreate natural channel flow. Reslope and stabilize bank. Fill in erosion point on SW corner of <br />riverbed. Install root wad structures for habitat. Temporarily clear streambed of obstructions and <br />debris in anticipation of future work. Clear gravel away from the diversion structures. Stabilize <br />streambanks and improve the condition of the riverbed sufficiently to minimize channel <br />movement until Phase 11 begins. Increase the depth -to -width ratio of the channel in anticipation <br />of high flows this spring and in preparation for construction in Phase 11. <br />El Codo Ditch Company 2 Updated Statement of Work <br />
