- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and City of Everett Public Works Department are hosting an Industry Day on 23 February 2011 at 10:00 am (local time) to solicit feedback associated with the Union Slough, Section 1135 Restoration Project. The Seattle District is seeking your valuable expertise. We welcome collaboration with industry representatives to review our requirement and discuss mutual issues and concerns relative to our technical requirements. If your company is interested in participating in the subject Industry Day, please complete the "Sign up RSVP for Industry Day" form and return it to Maria Colville via email: maria.a.colville@usace.army.mil. Detailed information regarding project location, parking, and other information will be provided to respondents. Please RSVP by 18 February 2011 at 2:00 pm Local Time. This notice is for planning purposes only and is not a notice of solicitation issuance. This notice does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued in the future. The Government will not reimburse Contractors for any effort resulting from their response to this notice. Please note that attendance to the Industry Day event does not obligate the Government to a contract award for a future project. This announcement is Government market research, and may result in revisions in both its requirements and its acquisition strategy based on industry responses. Project Description Summary: Background: The Union Slough Bridge Removal Project is located adjacent to the Union Slough sub-channel of the Snohomish River in the City of Everett, on Smith Island in Snohomish County, Washington. Smith Island is located in the Snohomish River estuary, east of downtown Everett and Interstate 5. The existing levee was breached along Union Slough in three locations and pedestrian bridges were constructed at each of the three 180-foot breaches. Tidal connections in the sites have not established as planned. The site floods as designed during high tide but does not adequately drain during low tides. Project Description: The Union Slough Bridge Removal Project will consist of relocation and paving along the setback levee, removal of three pedestrian bridges, removal of remnant levee material along the slough side of the breaches, and the creation of additional low flow channels within the estuary that will facilitate more rapid and complete drainage between tide cycles. The Corps will allow the contractor to determine means and methods within established performance criteria. The Corps will develop a basic plan and sequence and establish water quality criteria for the contractor. Contractors will determine which equipment and techniques would best allow them to complete the project within the prescribed time-line while meeting the specific performance criteria. Because of elevation requirements, to open up the breaches for more complete drainage and the predicted tide elevations, it will be necessary to either isolate the work areas or operate within the breach areas during wet conditions. Discussions with National Marine Fishery Service, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Washington Department of Ecology, determined that isolation of the estuary was not preferred. Although isolation of a single site may be allowed. It is anticipated that the project will include the use of silt screens along the slough along with localized isolation techniques to allow working in a wet environment. Temporary bypass roads and turnarounds may be constructed near the south and central bridge within the City's jurisdictional boundaries. All work on the northern bridge would be from existing levee access roads. Contractors may use existing bridges at their own risk. The recommended plan includes the following measures to address the existing conditions and achieve the expected ecosystem restoration benefits at the Union Slough site: Remove the three bridges that now span the three dike breaches in the levee along the west bank of Union Slough. Bridge removal will include the demolition and removal of the concrete arches that make up the bridge spans. The footings and three-foot thick geogrid foundation material will be removed. The estimated earthwork for the geogrid and remnant levee material removal is approximately 4,500 CY per breach. Temporary access road construction may be utilized to provide better through-access for hauling bridge debris and waste materials. These features would only occur at the southern and central bridge locations, within the City's jurisdictional boundaries. Access roads would require the temporary placement of approximately 600 CY of spalls and surfacing material per breach. Paving of the pedestrian trail (an asphalt pavement path) approximately 750 feet west of its current location to run along the top of the levee on the east side of the Everett Water Pollution Control Facility. A six foot tall chain-link fence will be constructed to provide security for the treatment facility. Create additional tidal channels in the site to improve hydraulic connectivity. Internal channel construction will include the excavation of low flow channels at specific locations to allow better drainage of internal areas. These channels would be approximately 8' wide and one to three feet deep. Remove remnant levee material near breaches to improve hydraulic capacity. Remnant levee material removal will include the removal of material along the slough side of each breach. This will allow free drainage along the full span of the breach. (End of Document)
