We have selected a contractor Team Flywater and Walsh.

Next steps – Finalize contract – preparation for permitting and finalizing desing

Construction should really get rolling in September.

Volunteer needs – probably minimal this year – may need some replanting of willows in harvest areas. Next spring – reseeding and more planting.  Will provide more details later.

On May 14th we met with potential bidders to discuss improvements to upper South Boulder Creek.  There were approximately 10 potential bidders along with representatives from Colorado DOW, U.S. Forest Service, Denver Water Board and Boulder Flycasters.  We spent about 1.5 hours on bid details and over two hours looking at the improvement sites.  Next steps are:

Proposals due 6/14

Contractor selection – 7/1

Begin Construction – 8/1

These hardy volunteers braved wind and cold to support Colorado DOW with counting fish in upper South Boulder Creek and Jumbo Mountain and Moffat Tunnel:

Thanks for the help!

Thanks to the Allen Nakagawa, Greg Nelson, Michael Fellows, Mark Riley, Greg Biesecker, Vince Kotsubo and Michael Signorella  who volunteered for electrofishing South Boulder Creek.  It was fun and educational for those who got to participate.

Looks like some parking improvements in a heavily used recreation area may be in the works.
