- Description
- *** THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, QUOTATIONS OR BIDS *** Description of Work: The U.S Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, is seeking industry input for structural systems to develop a training wall feature for the Mile Point Navigation Improvements project. The purpose of the RFI is to gather industry-wide feedback on alternative materials and/or systems that have been developed and used for coastal and river structures similar to the currently presented stone training wall structure. A 4,250 LF training wall is to be located on the south shoreline of the St. John River and west of the confluence of the Intracoastal Waterway (IWW). The functions of the training wall are to train river currents along the channel; it also serves as containment for approximately 50 acres of high and low marsh to be created behind the structure and serves as an on-going shoreline protection feature to prevent loss of the newly created marsh. Dredge material placement will be to elevation +2 Feet MLLW on the protected side of the structure. Proposed training wall systems will need to promote tidal exchanges hydrating and draining the new salt marsh, and should also promote favorable oyster and fish habitat deliveries for a 3.9 Foot mean tide range using openings or windows. The systems will be required to resist loads for final dredge material placed at elevation +2 Feet MLLW with a base elevation at -3 to -2 Feet MLLW, while resisting overturning and sliding for described conditions. Approximate dredge slurry maximum elevation may achieve +3 Feet MLLW. Maximum river current velocity is 5 Feet/Second. Systems must deliver shoreline protection for wind and wave conditions with a design wave height of 5 Feet. Top of structure is required at elevation of not less than +7.5 Feet MLLW. The proposed system should be expected to perform with minimum operational maintenance and repair, and should remain structurally stable for a service period of 75 to 100 years. The intent of this RFI is to identify for future consideration alternative training wall structures using systems with materials other than natural stone with a 165 PCF weight. Foundation grading and placement of the foundation-filter stone base will be performed by the Prime contractor such that existing bottom of structures will be established to between -3 and -2 Feet MLLW prior to structure placement. The stone foundation will extend not less than 10 feet beyond the base of proposed structures on the river side and will require a vertical filter stone to elevation +2 Feet on the marsh side. Additional detailed descriptions, dimensions and elevations for the training wall are provided on project drawings. Drawings provided are "Preliminary Draft", and are not intended for solicitation or pricing purposes. The current stone training wall plan and section is provided for information only. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes, it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), or promise to issue an RFP in the immediate future. This is a market research to determine whether there is interest and capabilities to design and provide a structurally stable materials and/or system that will perform the described functions identified within the description of work. Invitations for presentations may be extended to further communicate the capabilities and performance deliveries of proposed systems. The Government may not make a selection of acceptable systems at this time, as the determination of acceptable systems will continue during development of final project design documents. Interested parties are requested to submit capability statements, product information, technical approach, installation methods, demonstrated experience where proposed systems have been successfully used before, and any other pertinent information to Beau Corbett of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District. Mr. Corbett can be reached at (904) 232-1388, and by e-mail at beau.corbett@us.army.mil. Submission of information via e-mail is the preferred method; however, hard copies can also be mailed to Mr. Corbett's attention at 701 San Marco Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32207.
