Other than small businesses may respond to this NOTICE in the event the market does not indicate SB interest; however, preference will be given to the SB categories listed above. The government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of available contractors. This project is planned for advertising in February/March 2018. The estimated cost range according to the FAR 36.204 is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The NAICS Code is 237990, the size standard is $36.5 million. The resulting contract type is expected to be a Firm-Fixed Price. Under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines 52.219-14, the contractor will perform at least 15% of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees. Under FAR 52.236-1, the contractor shall perform on the site, and with its own organization, work equivalent to at least 20 percent of the total amount of work to be performed under the contract. PROJECT DESCRIPTION GENERAL High water levels in early 2017 damaged levees throughout California's Central Valley. The Corps of Engineers will be repairing damages at several of these locations in 2018. Three of these sites are located in the Sacramento River Basin near Colusa, CA. The types of services that may be required to perform the repairs required at these sites are described below. DESCRIPTION Berm Installation -- Seepage through or under the levee can be addressed by installing a berm on the landside of the levee. Berms typically lap partially up the slope of the levee and extend out into the adjacent area. Installing a berm consists of stripping a portion of the existing soil surface, and subsequently importing and placing rock materials. An underlying geotextile may also be installed. The bulk of the berm typically consists of drain rock. Larger (3- to 6-inch) rock may be installed along the berm perimeter for stability. When repairs are complete portions of the site may be reseeded and any damage to haul routes will be repaired. Berm installation is completed from the land. In some cases, temporary berms underlain by geotextile fabric are already in place. In these cases, the temporary material will be removed and stockpiled, the existing geotextile fabric will be removed and properly disposed of, and the stockpiled material will be reused to construct the permanent berm. Seepage berm installation are projected to be necessary at two locations. These berms are anticipated to range from approximately 400 to 800 feet in length, 20 to 30 feet in width, and involve rock volumes ranging from 1200 to 1700 cubic yards. Levee Slope Repair -- Repairing levee slope failures typically requires degrading a portion of the levee to remove slumped material and expose an appropriate repair surface, proper disposal of excavated material, importing replacement soil with appropriate geotechnical properties, and properly placing/compacting the new soil to restore the levee to its prior configuration. It may be necessary to obtain and place geotextile and rock at the base of the excavation before placing the new soil. Repair of slope failures on the waterside of the levee may require installing a coffer dam. In some cases, the repair may be constructed with rock rather than soil. When repairs are complete soil areas will be reseeded, any damage to haul routes will be repaired, and the surface material of the levee crown will be reestablished, if needed. Levee slope repairs are typically done from land. Levee slope repairs are projected to be necessary at one location involving three sub-sites along approximately 1200 feet of levee with an estimated volume of imported soil of 10,000 cubic yards. The volume of imported soil may be reduced by blending existing soil with a lesser amount of imported material in a manner where the blended material meets the applicable geotechnical standards.
