Work to install or replace a fish screen associated with a diversion or pump. Typical screen types include rotary drum, flat plate or traveling. The design of complex or large-scale screens is typically a separate work element. See WE# 175: Produce Design and/or Specifications.

• Fish screen and related infrastructure which together form a fish screen facility

Rule 1: NEPA, ESA, other environmental compliance work, O&M, purchase, landowner contacts and similar activities should be split out as separate work elements.

Example:

WE: Install Fish Screen
WE Title: Install fish screen at Cold Creek diversion.

WE: Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation
WE Title: NEPA Checklist and ESA Compliance.
WE Description: Provide NEPA Checklist to BPA and work closely with them on BA for NOAA Fisheries and USFWS.

WE: Coordination
WE Title: Landowner coordination for fish screen at Cold Creek diversion.
WE Description: Meet with landowners and fish managers to come to written agreement on construction of fish screen at Cold Creek diversion.

Rule 2: If the project is complex and/or large-scale (e.g., capital construction) feasibility, design, and construction management will likely be separate work elements. For example, if you are installing a large-scale fish screen facility, in order to install the screens, you must complete several other related work elements. This example show how the rules might be applied and how related work might be called out using a typical plan-design-build-maintain-monitor cycle for such a major construction project:.

Example:

WE: Council's 3-Step Process: Step 1
WE Title: Council's 3-Step Process: Step 1, for Cold Creek fish screen.

WE: Council's 3-Step Process: Step 2
WE Title: Council's 3-Step Process: Step 2, for Cold Creek fish screen.

WE: Council's 3-Step Process: Step 3
WE Title: Council's 3-Step Process: Step 3, for Cold Creek fish screen.

WE: Produce Design and/or Specifications
WE Title: Produce design and specifications for Cold Creek fish screen.

WE: Install Fish Screen
WE Title: Install fish screen at Cold Creek diversion.

WE: Manage and Administer Projects
WE Title: Manage and administer Cold Creek fish screen project.
WE Description: Covers direct activities in support of the project - site visits, staff inspection, coordination with other entities.

WE: Manage and Administer Projects
WE Title: Manage and administer construction subcontract for Cold Creek fish screen.
WE Description: Covers activities in a separate construction management contract.

WE: Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data
WE Title: Provide M&E for new Cold Creek fish screen.
WE Description: To determine if Cold Creek fish screen meets specifications.

WE: Analyze/Interpret Data
WE Title: Analyze data collected on new Cold Creek fish screen.
WE Description: To determine if Cold Creek fish screen meets specifications. Necessary to meet metric #4.

Rule 3: If the project involves installing multiple structures at different sites, split each structure out as a separate work element because the metrics will be different.

Example:

WE: Install Fish Screen
WE Title: Install screen on Johnson Diversion, Spring Creek
WE Description: Build a 5 cfs rotary drum screen on Johnson Diversion, Spring Creek, RM 33.

WE: Install Fish Screen
WE Title: Install fish screen on Power Dam, Spring Creek.
WE Description: Build a flat plate fish screen on Power Dam, Spring Creek, RM 39.

WE: Install Fish Screen
WE Title: Install fish screen on Power Dam, Spring Creek.
WE Description: Build a flat plate fish screen on Power Dam, Spring Creek, RM 39.

WE: Install Fish Screen
WE Title: Replace screens on Peterman Falls Canal, Spring Creek.
WE Description: Replace screens on Peterman Falls Canal, Spring Creek, RM 45.

Rule 4: If the screen(s) being installed is part of a connected effort to correct multiple problems at a single location, each with different metrics, split out each as a separate work element.

Example:

WE: Install Fish Screen
WE Title: Install 4 rotary drum screens on canal associated with Hot Springs Diversion.
WE Description: Hot Springs diversion is impassable at low flows and an antiquated fish screen there violates NOAA/FSOC criteria
Note - Install Head gate is no longer a separate WE #, so this activity should be listed as a milestone under this WE #.

WE: Install Fish Passage Structure
WE Title: Install 3 jump pools below Hot Springs diversion.

WE: Install Fish Trap/Monitoring Weir
WE Title: Install juvenile and adult traps and holding ponds at Hot Springs diversion.

• Environmental compliance requirements complete
On-the-ground work associated with this work element cannot proceed until this milestone is complete. Milestone is complete when final documentation is received from BPA environmental compliance staff (completion can be based on pre-existing environmental documentation from BPA).
• Hold initial kick-off meeting with all stakeholders
• Mobilize crew
• Prepare site
• Supplies/materials/equipment delivered
• If construction occurs during the irrigation season, provide for water delivery.
• Instream work complete
• Concrete work complete
• Mechanical work complete
• Punch-list inspection items complete

Metrics

Location Guidance

Identify point where installation or replacement took place.

Applicability and status of the following environmental compliance requirements can be found on the Environmental Compliance tab for that work element in your SOW for all 2007 contracts forward. BPA's Environmental staff will update and maintain this information in Pisces in real time, so that you can check the status of environmental compliance on your project at any time.

Note: Many of the fields are set to auto-load in Pisces, but the settings will be reviewed by BPA's Environmental staff prior to the contract being finalized, and may be revised depending on the specific circumstances.

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

NEPA coverage for this work element will be identified by BPA's Environmental Compliance Lead.

Endangered Species Act (ESA)

ESA consultation is typically required for this work element.

National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA)

NHPA Section 106 consultation is typically required for this work element which often includes a cultural/historic resource survey by a qualified archaeologist.

Public Involvement

Public involvement is typically required for this work element. The contractor should work with BPA Environmental staff to document previous or ongoing outreach efforts associated with this work or to develop a public involvement plan.

• If designing the structure(s) involves significant technical detail or engineering specifications use WE #175, Produce Design or Specifications.
• Work by contractor to manage the on-the-ground effort should be captured under WE #119, Manage and Administer Projects. Also use this Work Element when a separate contract is used for construction management.
• If the project is part of the Council's 3-Step Process, you may also need to include WE #168, Council 3-Step Process: Step 1, WE #169, Council 3-Step Process: Step 2, or WE #170, Council 3-Step Process: Step 3.
