Last Friday we conducted a pre-bid meeting for the Menastash Water Ditch Association (MWDA) and Consolidated Diversion. This project includes a fish screen structure and instream rock weirs for fish passage. Construction will be contracted and administered by HDR Engineering and funded directly by Bonneville Power Administration.

This was an exciting event for us. We've been working on the Manastash Creek Restoration Project for a number of years and to finally conduct the prebid meeting was a big step forward. This means that in addition to the Barnes Road diversion, construction should also occur at the MWDA/Consolidated diversion this fall and winter. That will mean that two of the three planned facilities will be in operation by the 2010 irrigation season. The third facility is the Keach/Jensen diversion and it should be addressed next year.

We conducted a pre-bid meeting yesterday for the Coleman Creek Diversion Modification Project. This project addresses an unscreened irrigation diversion and the second fish passage barrier on Coleman Creek. Bids are due next week and the project should go to construction this fall.
