This inquiry may lead to a solicitation for a Small Business set-aside contract. The Nashville District is actively seeking those Small Business firms capable of accommodating our construction schedule and performing the required work. We are contemplating a highway and railroad embankment construction contract (SIC 1629) for our west bank approaches to two proposed bridges over the Tennessee River just below Kentucky Dam in Marshall County, Kentucky. The project is time critical with a performance period of approximately 27 months starting on or about 1 May 2000. The construction will consist of the following features and approximate quantities: Stripping and Grubbing, 7 acres; Excavation, 130,000 C.Y.; Embankment in place, 1,300,000 C.Y.; Lightweight fill material, 40,000 C.Y.; 24",30", and 36" culverts, 1,000 L.F.; Riprap and Channel Lining, 4,000 Tons. The embankment heights range from 52 feet to a minimum of about 15 feet in height. No road work will be included with this contract. No on-site fillmaterial is available; therefore, it is anticipated that all fill material will be transported to the site via on-road trucks. An identified and suitable borrow area is located 4.0 miles from the project site. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be issued in mid April. All interested Small Business Firms must be bondable and should respond to this inquiry in writing indicating their capabilities and their ability to meet the performance requirements. The range of this project is expected to be more than $10,000,000.00. All responses must be addressed to: U.S. Army Engineer District, Nashville, ATTN: CT (Ms. Jean Todd), P.O. Box 1070, Nashville, Tennessee 37202. This inquiry will end at the close of business on 17 March 2000. Posted 03/03/00 (W-SN430888). (0063)
