This memorandum and resolution requests approval to award a contract to Catskill Remedial Contracting Services, Inc. for the Barton Dam Right Embankment Drainage Blanket Installation Project. This project involves repair of a boil that has surfaced in the drainage ditch at the base the right embankment at Barton Dam. The boil has been identified as a potential failure mode for the dam embankment by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), who is responsible for regulating this dam. Because of the potential risk associated with boils on dam embankments, the FERC has required the City to remediate the boil. This project will repair the boil and the surrounding area to meet FERC’s requirements.
