- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE; a market survey for information only, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. No proposals are being requested or accepted in regards to this announcement. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT SHALL BE AWARDED FROM THIS NOTICE. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Kansas City District has been tasked to construct a walled channel consisting of 54 inch diameter drilled piers in Turkey Creek. The purpose of this notice is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of various members of the Small Business Community to include Section 8(a) concerns, Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUB-Zone) concerns, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns to compete and perform a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Construction Contract. The procurement will result in the award of a firm-fixed price construction contract. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 237990 Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction and the small business size standard is $33,500,000.00. This project will have a magnitude between $10,000,000.00 and $25,000,000.00. Scope of Work This project will require the contractor to work within the confines of Turkey Creek while constructing a 90 wide channel and wall consisting of 48 inch to 54 inch diameter drilled shafts into rock, T-walls keyed into rock, shotcrete fascia, and drainage structures entering channel. The alignment is a very tight alignment and access is restricted due to nearby structures, high traffic area, and right of way restrictions. Most of the construction must take place in the channel with diverted channel flow. The shafts, with a tip elevation approximately 10-feet below the water table must be constructed with high quality for performance and within a short construction span to accommodate channel flow. Space between the shaft tangents is being designed at 6-inches to 24-inches apart. Shafts for this project will be drilled into rock an approximate depth of 10. Top of rock is typically between 10 to 20 feet below existing ground surface. Contractor must demonstrate ability to perform channel work, monitor weather forecasts, and evacuate channel of personnel and equipment in an emergency weather event. Careful excavation of limestone adjacent to drilled shafts will be required. Interested contractors shall show that they meet requirements of ACI MCP requirements for drilled shafts. Specifically ACI 336.1 1.7.2 shall be met, which states the Contractor shall provide a site supervisor and drillers, each with a minimum of 3 years of experience in installing 'similar types of drilled piers'; and construction tolerances presented by ACI 336.1 Section 3. 'Similar types of drilled piers' include all of the following descriptions: A. Augering and Drilling of shafts greater than 36 inch diameter in hard rock. B. Placing shaft concrete in a wet hole per ACI 336.1 and 336.3. C. Augering and drilling of shafts within 7' of buildings. Contractor will be required to submit pre and post inspections of all buildings to document any pre-existing and construction caused damage. Contractor will be required to monitor vibrations from augering and drilling, and alter the auger/drilling method to prevent damage to nearby structures. Interested contractors shall also show experience in careful excavation so that existing structures and drilled shafts would not be harmed. Tolerance of rock excavation is within 6 inches. Contractor will be required to analyze stability of side slopes and provide adequate shoring or other means to stabilize slopes during construction of 20' tall T-walls. Shoring must adequately handle surcharges from nearby buildings, rail and roadways. Contractor shall show he has a minimum of 3 years experience in construction of rock-founded T-walls, including careful excavation of hard rock such that damage to adjacent rock is negligible. Contractor shall show that he can provide shotcrete personnel with minimum 3 years experience in placing vertical shotcrete approx 12 inch thick with double mat reinforcement, and vertical and horizontal contraction and expansion joints.
