- 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 with this synopsis. 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 provide river bank stabilization for the Blue River Channel, 53rd to 63rd street. 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 of more than $10,000,000.00. Sample Scope of Work Work to be performed includes three rock structure types plus some incidental access related work. The Contractor must have the capability to move large rock, 42-inch in diameter, across wet floodplain and place said rock in large amounts in the Blue River channel. There will be several access points, some with limited staging area, at widely separated work areas. Access will require clearing a minimal number of trees, building gravel access roads, and cutting ramps in the channel banks down to the channel bottom. A limited number of permanent culverts may be placed for these access roads. The three rock structure types are rock grade control structures, rock toe revetments and rock vanes. Rock grade control structures will be several hundred feet long and be built at least halfway up the banks. Some excavation will be required for the grade control tailout and excavation on both sides of the floodplain, for the extended rock sills, will also be required. Upstream of the grade controls on the outside of bends, rock toe revetments will be constructed to stabilize the toe of badly eroding channel slopes. The rock toes will be wide enough to function as a simple working surface for heavy equipment during construction. At a limited number of locations rock vanes may be constructed to train the flow of water around slight bends. A rock vane is a row of surface boulder placed on a single row of foundation boulders. Staging areas are to be restored to natural conditions and ramps in the channel banks are to be stabilized. The rock toe revetments will be surfaced with soil, primarily from the cutting of ramps. Some of the access roads will be removed, replanting with trees and native grasses. The retained access roads are to be resurfaced for walking/biking trails.
