- Description
- The Grand Prairie Area Demonstration Project is a water conservation and supply project responding to the concerns for declining groundwater levels in the Grand Prairie Region and most of eastern Arkansas. The major resource problem in the project area and eastern Arkansas is aquifer depletion and the lack of a dependable water supply to continue irrigation of cropland. The only solution to eastern Arkansas's and particularly the Grand Prairie's groundwater problem is an alternative water supply with conservation. The alternative water supply will be imported water. A major pumping station located on the White River will provide imported water to the Grand Prairie Area via a system of new canals, check structures, turnouts, bridges and siphons. The project is divided into construction items. Items 1 and 1B are a 1640 CFS Pump Station, discharge pipes and outlet structure (the Widened Canal Reservoir). The Widened Canal Reservoir will be used as an integral part of the operating system by providing inline storage of irrigation waters and regulating flows from the proposed 1640 cfs pumping station. The Widened Canal Reservoir will be at the downstream end of the discharge pipe outlet structure and will have a total footprint of approximately 99 acres (63 Acres Surface Area and 36 Acres of Levee). The purpose of the Widened Canal Reservoir is to regulate the water levels and reduce wave action in the downstream irrigation canals due to differential water levels caused by the operation of the pump station. The Widened Canal Reservoir is not designed primarily as a storage reservoir. Differential water levels and wave action are minimized in the downstream irrigation canals due to the size of the Widened Canal Reservoir and the design of the Check Structure. The Widened Canal Reservoir operates when water is pumped from the pump station through (2) 10ft diameter pipes into the Widened Canal Reservoir through the Outlet Structure, a concrete weir structure. Water is released into the downstream irrigation canals through the Check Structure, a concrete structure with (4) steel tainter gates. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 237990 and size standard is $36.5 million. Two site showings will be scheduled once solicitation is issued to ensure the contractor is familiar with the site conditions consistent with the specifications. This project is advertised as an unrestricted procurement with HUBZone Price Evaluation Preference for small business concerns. For the purpose of this procurement to qualify as a small business concern, in addition to being independently owned and operated and not dominate in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, the concern must have had average annual sales receipts for the preceding three fiscal years not exceeding $33.5 million. The supplies or services to be procured in this solicitation is classified under NAICS 237990. The estimated value of the proposed work is more than $10,000,000.00. Solicitation will issue on/about 15 June 2015 and bid opening date will be on/about 15 July 2015.
