This contract will also include construction of the Morrow Point entrance and visitor building; erection of about 2 miles of l3.8-kv., single- pole transmission line from Curecanti Substation to Morrow Point Switchyard; and installation of equipment at the Curecanti Sub- station for energizing the Curecanti-Midway transmission line at 230 kilovolts. Bids have been solicited for rehabilitating three reaches of Colorado Highway No. 133 along Paonia Reservoir near Paonia. The rehabilitation includes realining approximately one-half mile of road and providing a wide ditch section; constructing a concrete retaining wall between the highway and the spillway at the dam, and res loping areas along the right side of the spillway; unwatering the spillway stilling basin and general cleanup work. The Colorado Department of Highways will place bituminous surfacing on the re- habilitated segments of roadway at the conclusion of the Bureau's work. The contractor for Silver Jack Dam of the Bostwick Park Project near Montrose has completed placing compacted backfill around the outlet works except for the dome of the gate chamber. Nearly 60 percent of the concrete has been placed for the spillway inlet and 85 percent for the spillway conduit section. Concrete placements were started for the spillway stilling basin during October. The contractor resumed work on the dam embankment during August and will continue this work as long as weather will permit. He plans to mobilize a much larger earth moving fleet next spring and to complete the dam embankment before the 1969 winter shutdown.
