Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Kansas City District, is conducting market research for a potential design-build construction project at the Fairfax-Jersey Creek Levee Unit on the Missouri River in Kansas City, KS. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information about the level of interest, capabilities, and qualifications of interested firms, including small businesses. The project involves design-build construction services to install approximately forty access manholes on existing seepage lines on a levee. The contractor would be responsible for design and construction of manholes on the landside levee slope and berm. Key requirements include:
• Minimally invasive excavation methods to minimize excavations left unattended for more than 24 hours
• Compliance with USACE Engineering Regulation (ER) 1110-1-1807, Drilling and Invasive Activities at Dams and Levees
• Preparation of a Drilling and Invasive Program Plan (DIPP) by a licensed Professional Engineer or Geologist
• Temporary flood protection plans to prevent the presence of open holes in the levee during a flood
• Maintenance of current levee crest elevation during construction, and backfilling of holes at a rate exceeding the river’s rise if a flood is anticipated
