Background: Sites 2 & 4 of the Truckee River Backflow Prevention Project are two of the of the three remaining of a total of eleven storm drain outfalls to the Truckee River to be modified with improved backflow modification. Site 2 and Site 4 are both located on the northern bank of the Truckee River in Sparks. Site 2 is located just east of the extension of Linda Way to the river. Site 4 is located just west of the McCarran Boulevard bridge. The outlet structure at Site 2 has experienced erosion along the bank of the river that has led to structural damage. The headwall has fallen forward and partially separated from the existing pipe. Site 4 is partially submerged year round and the existing flapgate was removed some time ago. This project shall consist of replacing the existing headwalls and aprons and installing Tideflex backflow prevention devices to protect upstream property from flooding during a Truckee River event. The Engineer’s Estimate for the improvements is $189,225.
