- Synopsis for Chalmette Loop Levee, Reach LPV 148.02 (Preconstruction Services and Construction Options) The NAICS code for this requirement is 237990. This is an UNRESTRICTED procurement. The estimated magnitude of construction cost is between $250,000,000 and $500,000,000. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Hurricane Protection Office intends to issue a solicitation for preconstruction services and construction option(s) for Levee Improvements to the New Orleans East Back Levee, Reach LPV 111 in Orleans Parish, LA. The solicitation will be a Request for Proposal for a Firm Fixed-Price Base with Fixed Price Incentive option requirement in accordance with FAR SubPart 16.403 utilizing Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) also known as Construction Manager at Risk. The project is critical to the Hurricane Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS) and must be completed by June 1, 2011. The levee system is an essential component of the New Orleans HSDRRS in St. Bernard Parish. LPV 148.02 is a levee segment located between LPV 147 (Highway 46 and Bayou Road Floodgate) and LPV 149 (Verret to Caernarvon Floodwall and Structures), from station 1118+00 to 1552+50, approximately 43,500 LF. The existing levee elevation will be 20.0 upon completion of the LPV 148.01 construction contract, currently scheduled for March 2009. This project will construct a new T-wall to elevation 29.0. The walls will tie in to LPV 147 (Highway 46 and Bayou Road Floodgate) on the west at approximate station 1131+30, and LPV 149 (Verret to Caernarvon Floodwall and Structures) on the east at approximate station 1552+50. This reach includes the St. Marys Pump Station No. 8, which will require construction of new fronting protection to elevation 30.5; removal of the existing Creedmore Drainage Structure; and relocation of 12 pipelines. Evaluation will be based on the Tradeoff Process (Best Value Continuum) in accordance with FAR SubPart 15.101-1 and Source Selection SubPart 15.3. The evaluation criteria consist of four (4) Technical (non-cost) factors, each of which has additional sub-factors for evaluation and Price. The Technical (non-cost) factors, listed in descending order of importance, are: (1) Technical Experience; (2) Past Performance; (3) Preconstruction Services Plan; and (4) Construction Approach. Technical (non-cost) factors when combined are significantly more important than Price. The basis of award will be made to the Offeror who provides the best value to the Government. The resulting contract award will be a Firm Fixed-Price portion for the preconstruction services and Fixed Price Incentive Option for the construction phase. Extent of participation of small businesses (SB), small disadvantaged businesses (SDB), women-owned small businesses (WOSB), veteran-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone small businesses, and minority institutions on the proposed contract are measured as a percentage of the total planned subcontracting dollars. The selected firm, if a large business firm, must comply with FAR Subpart 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for submitting and negotiating a subcontracting plan. The subcontracting goals for this District are: (1) at least 70.00% of the subcontract amount be placed with SBs, which include SDBs and WOSBs; (2) at least 6.2% of the subcontract amount be placed with SDBs; (3) at least 7.0% of the subcontract amount be placed with WOSBs; (4) at least 9.8% for HUBzone SB; (5) 3.0% for VOSB; and (6) at least 0.9% for SDVO SB. Solicitation is anticipated to be issued on or about February 18, 2009. Point of contact for this notice is Mr. Phillip Barker at (504)862-1838 or e-mail: phillip.l.barker@usace.army.mil.
