- **Buyer:** City of Port Angeles, Department of Public Works, Engineering.
- **Related funding and agencies:** The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office administers grant funding associated with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Brian Abbott Fish Barrier Removal Board (BAFBRB). Grant funding is capped at $255,000, with a $45,000 sponsor match; this is project funding, not a stated consulting contract value.

Cultural-resources work and WDFW technical reviews are required. The project is intended to improve access to upstream habitat for salmonids, including coho, steelhead, bull trout, and cutthroat.
- **Notable requirements:** The bid-ready design must meet BAFBRB Manual 22 technical expectations and address environmental, cultural-resource, and fish-passage requirements.
