This critical project represents a major milestone in the UCUT Phase 2 Implementation Plan to reestablish salmon in historical habitat that has been blocked for over 80 years. UCUT invites experienced construction firms with expertise in complex infrastructure projects, federal agency coordination, and alternative delivery methods to submit qualifications.
