The information from this market research is for planning purposes only and will assist the Government in planning its acquisition strategy. This is strictly market research. The Government will entertain question concerning this market research. The intent of this notice is to determine the availability of business to provide debris collection at the China Bar and Kettle River facilities and the debris disposal facility at Boise Cove efficiently and effectively in order to prevent debris from entering and floating on the waters of Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake and the Lake Roosevelt National Recreational Area. Reclamation has debris collection facilities and a disposal facility on Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake (the part of the Columbia River behind the Grand Coulee Dam), near the town of Kettle Falls, Washington. The collection facilities are currently located at the mouth of the Kettle River (at approximately River Mile 707) and at China Bar (at approximately River Mile 724). The disposal facility is located at Boise Cove, downstream from the mouth of the Kettle River (at approximately River Mile 702). The collection facilities capture floating debris which principally consists of logs, snags, and slash from upriver logging, uprooted trees and brush from riverbank undercutting, and miscellaneous floating debris and garbage. Debris from the collection facilities is ""bagged"" with boom logs and towed to Boise Cove. A concrete access ramp at Boise Cove allows access to the debris for removal from the lake, depending on the Lake level. The debris is then processed for final disposal. This contract is for the collection and disposal of debris. The annual debris collection over a recent six (6) year period is as follows: 2017 - 3344.66 tons 2018 - actual amount unknown 2019 - 1652 tons 2020 - 3656.5 tons. 2021 - 1334.31 tons 2022 - 1321.65 tons SCOPE OF WORK China Bar Facility - Located at Columbia River Mile 724. Facilities at China Bar consist of a 2,070-foot main earth dike, a 1,600-foot auxiliary earth dike, and a number of log booms. A double string of boom logs, each boom log approximately 33 feet long, make up the 2,500-foot North Main Boom, a double string of boom logs 950 feet long make up the Middle Main Boom, and a single string of boom logs 2,500 feet long make up the South Main Boom. The North, Middle, and South log booms form a continuous string of boom logs that remove debris from the current of the river in a shearing action and together are referred to as the shear boom. Kettle River - Located at Columbia River Mile 707. The debris collection boom is located in FDR Lake at the mouth of the Kettle River, and consists of single strings of log booms, totaling approximately 4,500 feet long, spanning the mouth of the Kettle River. There is a permanent opening in the log boom for public navigation when the lake elevation is above approximately 1255.0. An additional single string of boom logs, approximately 2,788 feet long, forms a liner along the main section of the collection area of the log boom, for additional strength to hold collected debris and to encircle the debris to hold it in place after the collection period and is used to tow the debris to the disposal site. Boise Cove - Located at Columbia River Mile 702 The debris disposal facility at Boise Cove is located on Lake Roosevelt, and is adjacent to Boise Cascade Corp.'s log storage yard. It consists of a log boom, comprised of approximately 45 boom logs in a single string, enclosing a majority of the river cove. This log boom is used to store bagged debris on the inside and moorage of Government and Contractor owned tugboats, work boats, and other flotilla around the perimeter.
