- Description
- The S-69 Weir in Okeechobee and Highlands Counties, Florida is part of the Kissimmee River Restoration Project (KRR). The Project Description for the S-69 Weir includes the following: design and construction of a steel sheet pile U-shaped Weir, earthen tie-back levees, concrete apron /access road, levee erosion armoring, channel backfill, site grading and incidental related work that will be depicted on preliminary drawings. The S-69 U-Shaped Weir Project will backfill the C-38 canal just above the CSX Railroad Bridge in order to redirect flow into the historic Kissimmee River channel and rehydrate the upstream floodplain. Because the historic river channel has a much lower flow capacity than the C-38 canal, a passive water control structure will be needed in order to alleviate flooding onto lands outside the Kissimmee River boundaries that are not owned by the South Florida Water Management District. This control structure will be constructed at the downstream terminus of the C-38 backfill and will be a steel sheet pile weir which will be roughly 3'-0" above the existing local grade elevation. During storm events, the weir will spill floodwater into the remaining portion of the C-38 canal downstream of the weir. The weir has been located at a safe distance upstream of the existing CSX Railroad Bridge in order to avoid potential scour of its bridge piers. In order to close the system and create the flood plain, earth tie-back levees will be provided between the downstream ends of the weir and the railroad embankment. A 14' wide unpaved road will be constructed along the crest of the levees on both banks of the river for maintenance egress. The access roads above the levees will be connected by a 16' wide concrete apron on the downstream side of the weir that will serve as both a roadway and erosion control. Design Requirements: The US Army Corps of Engineers has performed preliminary design of the weir in order to locate the structures and permit the project. The Contractor will need to complete the design of the weir and construct the project based on this design. The remaining design work includes, generating civil plans of the levees and earthwork, performing stability, seepage, and soil bearing analysis of the levees, design of erosion armoring, design of the steel sheet pile weir, design of the maintenance roadway, and mitigating settlement for the portion of the weir crossing the backfilled canal. All construction documents shall be signed sealed by professional engineers registered in the State of Florida. The contractors engineers will need to participate in the intermediate and final reviews and address all comments prior to the contractor receiving notice to proceed with construction. Construction Requirements: The scope of work includes backfilling the C-38 canal by degrading spoil mounds remaining from the canal excavation. These mounds are located on the west bank of the C-38 canal. The weir will be approximately 1900 linear feet of cantilevered steel sheet pile retaining wall with a 16 foot wide concrete apron/maintenance road on its downstream face. In order to provide uniform circulation and flow of water over the weir, shallow equalization channels will be excavated immediately upstream of the east and west legs of the weir. Roughly 1000 linear feet of earthen levees will be provided between the ends of the weir and the CSX railroad embankment on each bank in order to close the system and create the flood plain. The transition between the weir and levees will require armoring in order to prevent local erosion. Access roads will be constructed above the levees with ramps transitioning to adjacent grade. Upstream and downstream safety barriers will also be in the scope of work. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS: Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government. A two phase design build process will be utilized. Phase 1 Proposals will be evaluated on Specialized Experience, Past Performance, and Organizational and Technical Approach. NOTE: THE SUBMISSION OF PRICING INFORMATION WILL NOT BE REQUIRED IN PHASE 1 PROPOSALS. A maximum of 5 of the most highly rated Phase 1 offerors will be requested to submit Phase 2 proposals. Phase 2 Proposals will be evaluated on Design Technical, Performance Capability, and Price. Performance period is approximately 840 days, including both design and construction. Magnitude of construction is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. Phase 1 Solicitation will be issued on or about 10 March 2011 and will close on or about 12 April 2011. THIS ACQUISITION IS A HUBZONE SET ASIDE. ALL RESPONSIBLE HUBZONE OFFERORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE.
