Klamath River Renewal Project

The Project

The Klamath River Renewal Project involves the removal of four dams on the Klamath River — JC Boyle, Copco No. 1 & 2, and Iron Gate, restoring formerly inundated lands, and implementing required restoration and mitigation measures in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

This project is being delivered through the Progressive Design-Build (PDB) delivery model.  The PDB model allows early collaboration and problem-solving by the project owner, contractor, and designer. Following the PDB model, the project will have two phases.  The first phase, Preliminary Services, will develop project design, provide constructability and planning, and develop a guaranteed maximum price for the project. The second phase, Project Implementation, will follow through on that plan and execute the removals and restoration.

The Team

Our team consists of Kiewit as the prime contractor and Knight Piésold as the civil prime design partner.

We’re looking to subcontract with local businesses and organizations, disadvantaged businesses, and experienced subcontractors to supply materials and complete specialized scopes during both Preliminary Services design and Project Implementation construction phases.

Subcontracting Opportunities
