CONTINGENCIES / UNKNOWNS• CANAL WALLS

- unknown elevation, width, depth, + condition

- feasibility of breaking through the canal wall for a pedestrian tunnel

• CANAL DECK

- unknown condition, materials, and extents of concrete deck supports

- unknown condition + depth of support beams and concrete deck supports

• BRIDGE SUPPORTS

- unknown location, number, and condition of bridge piers

• CATARACT MILL

- unknown elevation, depth, + condition of walls

• COLUMBIA + BASSET MILLS

- unknown elevation, widths, + conditions of walls



CONTINGENCIES / UNKNOWNS

• Costs of ruin stabilization, modifications, reconstructions

• Costs of excavation in and around ruins

• Cost of new bridge relative to existing structural supports

• Costs of parkway realignment relative to existence or extent of concrete canal deck

supports

• Changes to water inlet structure and piping relative to new bridge and canal

excavation

• Timing of the lock and dam structure turnover
