WBV-75 - WESTERN TIE-IN BNSF RAILROAD GATE (IMMEDIATELY EAST OF THE DAVIS POND DIVERSION CANAL NEAR AMA, LA) THIS NOTICE IS FOR SOURCES SOUGHT ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL OR INVITATION FOR BID. SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS AND DRAWINGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. The tracking number for this announcement is W912P8-11-SS-0001. The NAICS codes for this proposed acquisition is 237990. The Product Service Code is Y299. The Government will use responses to this Sources Sought synopsis to make appropriate acquisition decisions regarding the availability of businesses capable of completing this work. The US Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District, solicits a capability statement from all qualified businesses. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: At the BNSF Railroad crossing, immediately east of the Davis Pond Diversion Canal near Ama, La, and north of the two tracks, the existing levee alignment would transition to a floodwall section consisting of sheet pile I-wall, reinforced concrete T-wall, and steel floodgate built to El.+13.5, 13.0, and 15.0 NAVD88, respectively. The total length of floodwall is approximately 150 feet and requires an approximate 60-foot easement for the construction of the railroad floodgate structure. The railroad gate will require contractors to drive steel H-piling and steel sheet piling, pour base slabs, install false work (temporary bridging consisting of steel pipe piling and structural steel superstructure) for the rail road tracks, construct reinforced concrete floodwall stems, and install steel flood gates in very limited windows of time to facilitate keeping both tracks in service during construction, since this railroad line is reported to be the busiest in the state of Louisiana. Any delays will incur a substantial fine by the railroad company on the construction contractor. As such, a certain level of insurance and bonding capacity will be required as follows: Contractor, Public and Railroad's Protective Public Liability and Property Damage Liability Combined Single Limit for Bodily Injury Liability, Property Damage Liability and Physical Damage to Property - $2,000,000 per occurrence. Aggregate Limit - $6,000,000 for the term of the policy. For AMTRAK - Aggregate Limit - $12,000,000 for the term of the policy. This RFI is issued for informational and planning purposes only. The information requested will be used within the USACE to facilitate decision making and will not be disclosed outside the agency.

This RFI shall not be construed as a formal solicitation or an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. Any information provided to the Government is strictly voluntary and at no cost to the Government. A formal solicitation will be announced separately.
