- Construction of Fish Passage Facility ($32 M) sources sought announcements: This same announcement is also being advertised under NAICS 236220 Sources Sought announcement number W912HN-13-Z-0003-01. This is a Sources Sought/Request for Information only. This is not a Solicitation Announcement, nor is it a Request for Proposal. This request does not obligate the government in any contract award. The US Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District is issuing this Sources Sought announcement for the construction of a Fish Passage Facility to determine interest, availability and capability of business to perform the work as described below. The New Savannah Bluff Lock & Dam (NSBL&D) is located on the Savannah River at River Mile 187.4, approximately 13 miles downstream from the City of Augusta, Georgia. This facility is the most downstream lock and dam along the Savannah River and is authorized for the purpose of improving the commercial navigation channel between the upper limits of the Savannah Harbor and the head of navigation at Augusta, Georgia. It was constructed by the Corps and was completed in 1937. The dam structure is 360 ft long and contains five vertical spillway gates. The lock is located along the right abutment (Georgia Side) and measures approximately 56 ft wide and 360 ft long, with a maximum lift height of approximately 15 ft. The facility provides ponding upstream to support several water intakes and recreation for the City's of Augusta, GA and North Augusta, SC. The fish passage is designed to allow Shortnose sturgeon, a federally listed endangered species, as well as several other species including Atlantic sturgeon, shad and robust redhorse, access to shoals upstream of the dam where their historic spawning habitat is located. The fish passage would be constructed adjacent to the dam on existing high ground on the South Carolina bank of the river. Preliminary hydraulic modeling efforts estimate the structure to be approximately 250 feet wide and 2000 feet long. The work to be conducted includes access road construction, clearing and grubbing approximately 18 acres, excavation and grading of up to 300,000 cy of material, and placement of approximately 20,000 tons of bedding stone, 88,000 tons of armor stone, and 8,800 tons of tons of weir stone to construct the fish passage facility. The weir stones will require specific placement locations to provide for successful fish passage. Two existing overflow gates in the dam structure will modified. Modification of the gates will require dewatering in the immediate area of the gates. No in-water work will be allowed downstream of the dam during the period between February 1 and May 31. Care must be taken at all times to prevent interference with migrating species. Construction must be done in a manner so as not to interfere with operation of the dam and lock or damage of the existing structure.
