Hood River Bridge Replacement Environmental Studies, Design and Permit Assistance APRIL 25, 2018 April 25, 2018 CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR Hood River Bridge Replacement Environmental Studies, Design and Permit Assistance APRIL 25, 2018 April 25, 2018 ATTN: Dale Robins Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council (RTC) 1300 Franklin Street, 4th Floor Vancouver, Washington 98660 Re: Response to RFP Consultant Services for Hood River Bridge Replacement Environmental Studies, Design and Permit Assistance Dear Mr. Dale Robins and Selection Committee, For nearly 95 years, travelers have crossed the Columbia River using the Hood River Bridge, which connects Hood River, Oregon and the communities of White Salmon and Bingen in Washington state. While the travelers are diverse - farmer, hiker, trucker, tugboat operator, windsurfer - their need is the same: a safe, reliable connection between Oregon and Washington. Today, the Hood River Bridge is failing to meet modern transportation demands: deteriorating bridge members, combined with dimensional and weight restrictions for trucks, hamper the structure’s effectiveness and, quite possibly, the regional economy. The replacement of the bridge is a critical transportation improvement needed to support the interstate travel of motorized vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists, and marine freight transport, which have significant local and regional economic and quality of life benefits. In 1999, a campaign to replace the existing bridge began, which then culminated into the 2003 Draft EIS, which was completed by Parsons Brinkerhoff now WSP. Following the Draft EIS, the firm conducted a Bridge TS&L study. From the prior work WSP has completed for this project, our team understands the urgency and need for environmental studies, preliminary design and permit assistance to advance the Hood River Bridge Replacement Project. We also bring relevant local and national experience to deliver the successful outcome of this phase, which includes: 1) completing all remaining NEPA/ SEPA compliance steps; 2) advancing the design to support the environmental studies; 3) coordinating all permits/clearances with regulatory agencies and integrating anticipated mitigation into the NEPA/SEPA documentation so that a clear pathway for subsequent permitting has been effectively detailed; and 4) assisting with project delivery coordination to position for future funding and construction. WSP has assembled a team of qualified individuals with unparalleled knowledge of the bridge to start working with you immediately. Our team’s local experience and national expertise will save the Port of Hood River (POHR) time and money as well as ensure the environmental process is done right, setting a firm foundation for successful permitting and funding of a replacement bridge. Project Manager Angela Findley, will lead the team to a quick start, grounded in her direct involvement and understanding of the technical work, Draft EIS, and relationships with regulatory/resource agencies that must approve the project. She has been a key staff member on projects to advance the Hood River Bridge replacement over the past 19 years, including the SR-35 Columbia River Crossing Feasibility Study/ Draft EIS and TS&L Study. Engineering Lead Mark Hirota led the Bridge TS&L Study and brings a depth of understanding of the past design work completed to date for the bridge. Using his knowledge of the work that has been completed so far, he can identify what information is still valid and how to most cost effectively update the EIS and engineering design. He will collaborate with Tom Cooper, our complex bridge designer, and John Maloney, our civil lead, to advance a coordinated design strategy that results in environmental approvals. Environmental Lead Scott Polzin completed several of the original environmental studies and was WSP USA integrally involved in preparing the Draft EIS. He will leverage this first-hand project knowledge to 851 SW Sixth Avenue lead the environmental team in updating studies and preparing Supplemental Draft EIS/Final EIS/ROD Suite 1600 Portland, OR 97204 documentation, as efficiently as possible. T +1 503-274-8772 F +1 503-274-1412 www.wsp.com Our technical team members were individually selected based on expertise and experience for specific elements of the Bridge Replacement Project, including Public Involvement Lead Alex Cousins, who brings experience with community and stakeholder engagement in the Columbia River Gorge; Brent Baker, who prepared the 2002 Financial Feasibility Study, led tolling/revenue/financial analyses for projects such as the I-5 Columbia River Crossing, and will assist our team’s coordination with the Port’s tolling/revenue consultant; Nick Amrhein with national project delivery expertise to provide seamless coordination with the Port’s project delivery consultant; and Scott Keillor and Brian Carrico with BergerABAM, who provide a depth of local understand as well as comprehensive biological, wetland, and river crossing permitting expertise. Our team includes certified DBE/MWESB firmsEnviroIssues, Exeltech, Marianne Zarkin Landscape Architects and Key Data Networks, to meet or exceed the 11.6% small business utilization goal. WSP remains committed to achieving the goal set a decade ago to provide a community-supported bridge design that balances innovative engineering with the natural beauty of the Columbia River Gorge. We want to continue our successful partnership with the POHR, RTC, ODOT and WSDOT in realizing the vision for a new bridge replacement. The WSP team is the right choice—the proven choice— to carry this project forward. We have received, read and understand the RFP and Addendum 1. We acknowledge receipt of addendum 1 dated April 20, 2018. We also understand that this statement of qualifications is valid for 90 days per the terms noted in Section 3.5 of the RFP.

    Interstate Bridge Replacement Program December 2019 Progress Report December 2019 Progress Report i This page intentionally left blank. ii Interstate Bridge Replacement Program December 2, 2019 (Electronic Transmittal Only) The Honorable Governor Inslee The Honorable Kate Brown WA Senate Transportation Committee Oregon Transportation Commission WA House Transportation Committee OR Joint Committee on Transportation Dear Governors, Transportation Commission, and Transportation Committees: On behalf of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), we are pleased to submit the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program status report, as directed by Washington’s 2019-21 transportation budget ESHB 1160, section 306 (24)(e)(iii). The intent of this report is to share activities that have lead up to the beginning of the biennium, accomplishments of the program since funding was made available, and future steps to be completed by the program as it moves forward with the clear support of both states. With the appropriation of $35 million in ESHB 1160 to open a project office and restart work to replace the Interstate Bridge, Governor Inslee and the Washington State Legislature acknowledged the need to renew efforts for replacement of this aging infrastructure. Governor Kate Brown and the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) directed ODOT to coordinate with WSDOT on the establishment of a project office. The OTC also allocated $9 million as the state’s initial contribution, and Oregon Legislative leadership appointed members to a Joint Committee on the Interstate Bridge. These actions demonstrate Oregon’s agreement that replacement of the Interstate 5 Bridge is vital. As is conveyed in this report, the program office is working to set this project up for success by working with key partners to build the foundation as we move forward toward project development.

    McMENAMINS BANQUETS INTRODUCTION In the spring at Gearhart, when the meadows were purple with violets and bluebells and the woods filled with new skunk cabbages and the first shoots of ferns, life was at its most tranquil. One could wander alone for hours on the beach, gaze at Tillamook Head and watch the surf. —James Beard (1903–1985), celebrated chef, author and longtime Gearhart summer resident. Gearhart was different from the outset. Its founders in 1890 planned a residential community that celebrated and respected the natural beauty of forest, gentle rolling dune meadows and wide, sandy beaches that characterize this section of the northern Oregon coast. There was no desire to recreate another busy tourist area. Over the ensuing decades, a genuine sense of community prevailed at Gearhart, despite the larger portion of its population appearing only during the warm, summer months. But they returned year after year, as did subsequent generations of the same families. These seasonal residents have mostly been of prominent Portland stock, the names of many of whom can be found on buildings, hospital wings and streets back in the Rose City. Once at the coast, however, class distinctions fell away like a beach rain. And everyone — empire builder and dairy farmer — came together at the Sand Trap, the landmark clubhouse, bar and restaurant for the golf course. Like a lightning rod, the Sand Trap attracted everyone — Hollywood stars, garage mechanics, golfers and non-golfers alike — to share a drink, some conversation and a bowl of chowder. The original Sand Trap was much smaller, informal and rustic than the present building.

  • Frog Ferry Presentation
    Frog Ferry Portland-Vancouver Passenger Water Taxi Service Frog= Shwah-kuk in the Chinookan Tribal Language, Art: Adam McIssac CONFIDENTIAL-Susan Bladholm Version 2018 Q1 Canoes and Frog Mythology on the Columbia & Willamette Rivers The ability to travel the waters of the Columbia and Willamette rivers has allowed people to become intertwined through trade and commerce for centuries by canoe. The journal entries of Lewis and Clark in 1805 described the shores of the Columbia River as being lined with canoes elaborately carved from cedar trees. The ability to navigate these waterways gave the Chinook people control over vast reaches of the Columbia River basin for hundreds of years. The area surrounding the Columbia and Willamette rivers is steeped in a rich mythology told to us through early ethnographers who traveled the river documenting Native American inhabitants and their culture. According to Chinookan mythology, Frog (Shwekheyk in Chinook language), was given the basics of weavable fiber by his relatives, Snake and omnipotent Coyote. With this fiber, Frog was given the task of creating the cordage for the weaving of the first fishing net. With this net, made from fibers of nettle plants, Frog had made it possible for the new human beings to catch their first salmon. Coyote tested the net, with the guidance and wisdom of his three sisters, thereby establishing the complex set of taboos associated with the catching of the first salmon of the season. The Chinook people would never eat or harm Frog for his association to them would always protect him. That is why you should always step around frogs and never over them.

McCullough also was a professor at Oregon State University. Early life Conde McCullough was born in Redfield, South Dakota, on May 30, 1887.[2] In 1891, he and his family moved to Iowa where his father died in 1904.[2] McCullough then worked at various jobs to May 30, 1887 [2] Born support the family. In 1910, he graduated from Iowa State Redfield, South Dakota, U.S. [3] May 5, 1946 (aged 58) University with a civil engineering degree. Died Oregon Career Nationality American Isaac Lee Patterson Bridge Buildings Yaquina Bay Bridge McCullough began working for the Marsh Bridge Company in Des Alsea Bay Bridge Moines, Iowa, where he remained for one year.[2] He then went to work for the Iowa State Highway Commission.[2] Conde moved to Oregon in 1916 and became an assistant professor of civil engineering at Oregon Agricultural College, and the sole structural engineering professor at the school.[2] In 1919 he became the head of the Bridge Division of the Oregon Department of Transportation, making him personally responsible for the design of Oregon's bridges at a time when the state was completing Highway 101. His designs are well known for their architectural beauty.[4] McCullough advocated that bridges be built economically, efficiently, and with beauty.[1] He helped design over 600 bridges, many with architectural details such as Gothic spires, art deco obelisks, and Romanesque arches incorporated into the bridges.[5] In 1928, he graduated from Willamette University College of Law and passed the bar the same year.[6] In 1935 he moved to San José, Costa Rica to help design bridges on the Pan-American Highway.
