The project would meet an NPS requirement to restore no less than 33 �credit acres� to compensate for the temporary and permanent impact to wetlands, floodplains, and ecosystem function caused by the construction, operation, and maintenance of a high-voltage transmission line and its 200-foot-right-of-way within the Delaware Watergap National Recreation Area. In 2020, the National Park Service developed the Watergate Wetlands Restoration Project Environmental Assessment (EA) in response to conditions at the Watergate Site and the proposed actions. The current solicitation is for the Restoration Phase. The Restoration Construction contract is comprised of erosion and sediment control measures inspection and maintenance, fish salvaging and dewatering, site demolition, invasive vegetation treatment, earthwork (including material separation and salvaging, grading operations and transport/disposal of excess material), additional installation of erosion and sediment controls, stream restoration (including dewatering and fish salvaging requirements), revegetation with live plants and government furnished seeds, and final removal of all erosion and sediment controls with final stabilization. The Work for the overall restoration project shall be conducted in 6 stages, as follows. Stages may overlap and are developed in accordance with applicable timing restrictions associated with the project. Stage 1 is not part of this solicitation.

Demolition of structures outside of perimeter erosion controls and along the stream bank shall not be permitted during this phase. Work of this stage shall be substantially complete in 60 days after the Notice to Proceed, not to begin earlier than April 1st following timing restrictions. Stage 3: Stage 3 consists of performing topsoil stripping and stockpiling; performing earthwork in all areas within the perimeter erosion controls, performing material separation/screening to generate channel bed substrate materials, demolishing pipes indicated for removal within grading limits; performing invasive vegetation species treatment. Work of this stage shall be substantially complete in 168 days after the Notice to Proceed, not to begin earlier than April 1st following timing restrictions.
