Description

The Portland District Corps of Engineers, intends to award a contract for the design and construction of a fish passage corridor through the existing Elk Creek Project. The intent of this contract action is to provide fish passage through the proj ect by partial removal of a section of the dam or spillway and appropriate routing and treatment of the stream above, below, and through the dam. Elk Creek Project is located approximately 25 miles north of Medford, Oregon. Construction of this project w as stopped by court injunction in fiscal year 1987, with the dam at one-third of the design height. Design Considerations: The routing and treatment of the stream has been designed utilizing hydrologic and geomorphic analysis with fisheries oversight to e nsure the fish passage corridor in the stream will be as geomorphically stable as is reasonably possible immediately following construction. The Contractor will be responsible for material selection and installation design. Other conventional design wi ll be necessary to provide demolition, rock excavation, earthwork, bank protection, minor structural, and other features. The Contractor will be required to acquire appropriate permits for access and to conduct work in and near water. The in-water work pe riod is June 15 through September 15. The allowable blasting period is July 15 though January 15. Some species of fish have been listed and others are proposed for listing as endangered species. This will require special coordination with the Corps of E ngineers and resource agencies of all potential impacts. Construction Features: Based on preliminary design concepts, routing of the stream through the dam will require demolition of RCC concrete (approx. 60,000 cy) and conventional concrete (approx. 3 00 cubic yards). Routing of the stream and local grading will require cut and fill (approx. 341,400 cubic yards) and rock excavation (approx. 1,000 cubic yards). The length of the affected stream is approximately 5,000 feet. Bank protection will be requ ired and may include as much as 1,000 cubic yards of revetment. A stream flow training wall will be required and may include as much as 35,000 cubic yards of revetment and core materials. River bar materials may be as much as 10,000 cubic yards of native river gravels. Some structural and electrical work may be required. Temporary care and diversion of the stream during construction will be required. A Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) shall be provided for all new contracts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District. For this project, the person that will act as the SSHO is required to have a minimum of 3 years safety work with simil ar projects and a 30 Hour OSHA construction safety class, or equivalent, taken within the last 3 years. The SSHO may have no other duties for this work except function as the on-site CQC Manager. The finalized solicitation will be issued on or about 31 October with proposals due 45 days after issue. The contract is anticipated to be awarded on or about 31 January 2008. This procurement is open to both small and large business concerns and is a be st value design-build procurement.
