CALFED Lavee Stability Program Sacramento, California

By | USACE Sacramento District | No Comments
Project Title and Location: CALFED Levee Stability Program
Project Owner: USACE Sacramento District, Sacramento, California
Performance Period and Duration: 2008-2012
Project Role: Subcontractor to Kleinfelder-Geomatrix
Scope and Complexity:

The CALFED Levee Stability Program (CALFED) scope includes preparation of management and planning documents for flood protection measures at 48 islands within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta managed by independent Reclamation Districts. These islands are evaluated for any required levee repairs or upgrades that could qualify for funding by the USACE Sacramento District.

The required documents at each site include preparation of a Field Reconnaissance Report, a Draft Project Implementation Report and a Site-Specific Project Management Plan. Veridico’s scope includes providing management and planning support to the prime contractor, Kleinfelder-Geomatrix JV and preparing the following documents.

  • Field Reconnaissance Report: After meeting with each Reclamation District Engineer and site sponsor, and conducting a detailed site visit, a Field Reconnaissance Report is prepared for submittal to the USACE Sacramento District. This report is comprised of the site description, findings and field observation, and formulation of the scope of work.
  • Draft Project Implementation Report: This report includes a presentation of flood protection alternatives and an analysis of environmental constraints and flood protection benefits. Veridico’s scope includes providing input regarding the site description, future conditions and opportunities, and a qualitative assessment of the benefits of flood management improvements.
  • Site-Specific Project Management Plan: This plan is comprised of the presentation of authorities and stakeholder team, an evaluation of project constraints, and the preparation of the work breakdown structure and project schedule.

Project Title and Location: Sacramento River Bank Protection Project, Sacramento, California
Project Owner: USACE Sacramento District, Sacramento, California
Performance Period and Duration: 2008-2009
Project Role: Subcontractor to Kleinfelder-Geomatrix

The Sacramento River Bank Protection Project (SRBPP) scope was an evaluation of flood protection measures and preparation of design and specification documents for 21 sites (the 14 initial sites shown on the picture) along the Sacramento and Feather Rivers. Veridico’s scope included providing management and planning support to the prime contractor, Kleinfelder-Geomatrix JV and preparing two Alternatives Reports, one for 14 sites and a second report for 7 sites. These reports documented the following information for each site.

  • An overview of site reconnaissance and ranking procedures which qualified each site for further consideration by the USACE Sacramento District.
  • An assessment of site conditions including the existing levee conditions, subsurface conditions, site vegetation, site features and improvements, and access issues, real estate issues and land ownership.
  • An analysis of bank protection alternatives including likely causes of levee erosion, site conditions with potential impacts on construction, development and evaluation of bank protection alternatives, inclusion of input from resource agencies (NMFS, USFWS and CDFG), providing recommendation, and presenting a conceptual design cross section and a preliminary cost for flood protection design.
  • A data package for each site documenting site visit photos, a detailed cost estimate, and all communication with property owners adjacent to the site.
