C -- DESIGN CAMP ASHLAND FLOOD PROTECTION AND DAMAGE MINIMIZATION POC Tom Dahlgren, (402) 471-7520. Architect Engineer Services for the Army National Guard, Lincoln, Nebraska to support Military Department investigation services, design services and inspection for project number 310066: Camp Ashland Flood Protection and Damage Minimization. The project to be designed includes a ring levee around the developed, cantonment area of the Camp. The levee will be built to an elevation that will protect the developed area from a 100 year level flood with a foot of freeboard. To achieve no-rise conditions in the flood plain a channel must be designed on Camp property to offset the levee structure flow obstruction. The Camp access roads will be designed to remain passable during a 10 year level flood. Culverts, roadway alterations, and drainage from inside the levee structure along with other auxiliary design will be part of the project. The Architect-Engineer will consider an existing conceptual design, environmental considerations, hydrology study, topographical survey and cost estimate as a basis for design. Coordination with the Corps of Engineers, the Natural Resources District, Sauders County, and other agencies will be required. Design submittals will be reviewed at the 10% completion level and at other designated levels of completion. Estimated cost of construction is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00.
