- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for a construction project for Emergency Streambank Protection at Slack Brook in Leominster, MA. The work of this project consists of the construction of emergency riverbank erosion protection along the right bank of Slack Brook, adjacent to Exchange Street, in Leominster, Massachusetts. The riverbank erosion protection consists of a stone revetment on the lower bank and a Geocell structure with topsoil and seed infill on the upper bank. The work of this project consists of the construction of emergency riverbank erosion protection along the right (south) bank of Slack Brook, adjacent to Exchange Street, in Leominster, Massachusetts. The project involves the placement of a stone revetment base along 300 linear feet of the Slack Brook lower bank to stabilize the slope and protect it from scouring during high flows. The upper portion of the bank will include a vegetated exterior utilizing a Geocell Cellular Confinement System. Existing stones and boulders at the base of the slope that are moved for construction will be placed back within the channel of the stream. Specific work tasks include clearing and grubbing, excavation, placing and compacting fill and gravel materials, placing stone protection, placing and anchoring a Geocell system, placing topsoil and seed, planting of trees and vines, and herbicide treatment for invasive plant control. It should be noted that there are no environmental or regulatory restrictions regarding the on-site reuse of excavated soils. However, due to the naturally occurring arsenic, excess soils removed from the site must be disposed of at an appropriate and licensed COMM-97 facility in accordance with all local, state, and federal requirements. In addition, temporary offsite storage of soil prior to off-site disposal must be conducted using appropriate stockpiling procedures. The Contractor will be required to temporarily remove a steel highway guardrail to access the site for construction. The guardrail shall be carefully stored and reinstalled by the Contractor in its original configuration at the completion of work. Partial closure of Exchange Street will also be necessary to accomplish the work, requiring the Contractor to implement traffic control measures, including temporary barricades, police details, and automated traffic signals. The estimated construction cost is between $100,000 and $500,000. This solicitation is a small business set aside. The applicable NAICS code is 237990, size standard of $36.5 Million. This is not a request for proposals at this time, the solicitation requirements and contract documents to include instructions for submission and the response date will be available on or about May 30, 2017. Neither telephonic, mailed, nor faxed requests for hard copies of this solicitation will be accepted. The solicitation will only be available online; in order to download the solicitation, offerors must access the Federal Business Opportunities website (www.fbo.gov). All responsible sources may submit a bid which shall be considered by the New England District. Additional questions may be emailed to the Contract Specialist at Stephen.e.jones@usace.army.mil.
