Doug asked what our thought process was as it relates to <br /> the Amazon channel slide areas and the recommendations proposed by Dr. Gunnar <br /> Schlieder. Doug was unable to attend the onsite meeting we had with Dr. <br /> Schlieder but our staff did discuss options at the site and after we returned <br /> from the field trip. In essence, Dr. Schlieder recommended some immediate <br /> corrective actions such as minimal cleaning, removing some silt bars and <br /> in some cases relocating some silt bars. He felt there was no urgency to <br /> take any additional actions at this time. We (Bob Hammitt, Dave Ritter and <br /> I) are of the opinion we should move ahead with Dr. Schlieders recommendations <br /> but that the work be done by private contract. Our equipment doesn't have <br /> the reach needed to take the corrective actions as outlined. We would need to <br /> work from both sides of the channel and in some cases from the channel bottom <br /> itself by dropping the crawler tractor in the channel . The water level would <br /> probably prevent us from doing the latter. There may be some contractors <br /> willing to take on the project who would have equipment that would be faster <br /> than ours and could work with only minimal disruption to the terrain. <br /> I explained the above to Doug and he will have his staff pursue getting the <br /> work done by private contract. As Doug indicated, if the work can be done <br /> for less than $10,000 he won't even have to go through any formal bid <br /> process. <br /> This brief summary is an attempt to update everyone who may have been involved <br /> with this process as to our intent. If I have left someone off this list who <br /> should also be aware of this information, please pass it along to them. Les, <br /> maybe you want to let Debra Evans and/or Sandra Gleason know. Fred, I believe <br /> Jack went on this field trip and might appreciate the update. Dave, your job <br /> is to tell Myron Gene <br /> I <br /> 0 >. <br /> 0 <br /> 0 <br /> 0 <br />
