Multnomah County plans to replace the Beaver Creek culvert on SE Stark Street with a channel-spanning open bottom culvert that increases flow capacity, restores the natural streambed, allows for fish passage, and enables future widening of Stark Street. During this culvert replacement, the City of Troutdale will have to temporarily bypass the existing sanitary sewer main in SE Stark Street. This will entail utilizing a two-pump bypass sewage pumping system and the installation of approximately 600 feet of temporary 4-inch diameter force main to temporarily reroute flows along an easement to the sewer system in Corbeth Lane. This work was advertised for formal public bidding, and bids were opened on March 29th. The confirmed low bidder is Thompson Bros. Excavating, Inc.; the same contractor that won the County’s bid for the culvert project. Bypass operations are expected to commence sometime in July in conjunction with commencement of the County’s culvert project.
Start Date: July, 2017
End Date: Fall, 2017
