Infrastructure Inventory. This Agreement addresses the maintenance of tidegates owned, operated or managed by a participating District located within the Coverage Area as defined above in Part 2.1. The Agreement also addresses maintenance of floodgates owned, operated or managed by a participating District within the Coverage Area that interface with a natural watercourse as defined herein. Maintenance of floodgates that do not interface with a natural watercourse is addressed by individual District Drainage Maintenance Agreements and Drainage Maintenance Plans developed through provisions of the Skagit Drainage and Fish Initiative, which is separate and apart from this Agreement. Many of the tidegates are sited in a facility complex that is composed of multiple gates. This Agreement addresses 38 tidegate complexes composed of 89 individual tidegates (Table 2-1), and 19 floodgate complexes composed of 32 individual floodgates (Table 2-2). The floodgates have been categorized into habitat tiers. Tier 1 includes floodgates with fresh water to fresh water connection and fish occurrence both above and below the floodgates. Tier 2 includes floodgates with fresh water to fresh water connection and fish occurrence both above and below the floodgate but the floodgate is only operated to improve water quality above the floodgate. Tier 3 includes floodgates with fresh water to fresh water connection and no fish occurrence upstream or downstream of the floodgate or only downstream of the floodgate. Locations of these complexes are depicted on Figures 2-3A, B and C. Maintenance actions at each tidegate location have been prioritized based on 1) an identified need for immediate or imminent maintenance and 2) the composition of materials at each individual site. Priority 1 locations are those sites known to need immediate or short-term maintenance while Priority 2 locations are sites with steel components that typically have a shorter lifespan than fiberglass or aluminum. Priority 3 locations are sites with a mixture of materials, such as steel and/or aluminum and/or fiberglass, while Priority 4 locations are sites constructed exclusively with longer lasting components such as fiberglass, aluminum or plastic. This prioritization is intended to provide a generalized analysis of maintenance needs and locations across the landscape.
Infrastructure Inventory. Complete as-built documentation for the radio system and the radio sites will not be fully available until after the new radio system is completely accepted. Federal Engineering and the City of El Paso engineering staff will collect data provided by the system integration vendor for each infrastructure location affected by rebanding, including RF conditioning equipment, as required. Federal Engineering and the City will review the information collected for consistency in preparation for the retune, reprogram, and replacement assessments.
