THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE IS FOR MARKET RESEARCH AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. THIS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO AWARD A CONTRACT FROM RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, NOR DOES IT OBLIGATE THE GOVERNMENT TO PRODUCE A SOLICITATION IN THE FUTURE. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY INTERESTED PARTIES IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY AND NO MONETARY COMPENSATION WILL BE PROVIDED FOR RESPONSE PREPARATION OR FOLLOW UP REQUESTS.
The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to obtain insight into the interest, capabilities and qualifications of small business firms to perform Water Intake Repairs of this complexity and magnitude and to determine if there is adequate competition to compete and successfully perform. The anticipated period of performance is a 365 days from Notice to Proceed. This is a high visibility action with immediate need. The anticipated award date is 30 August 2020.
The scope of the requirements includes construction of a repair or replacement weir for the existing water intake weir in the Big Piney River with a service life of 10 years. Weir repair or replacement will be designed to maintain the current water pool requirements for the water intake. Construction of the weir repair or replacement must be within the current environmental permitting, Nationwide Permit 3, for the existing weir. An aquatic organism passage will be included as part of the weir design per environmental requirements, Section 7 Consultation, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act. The existing canoe portage path is to be replaced as needed to install the new weir and aquatic organism bypass.
Background: The original weir for the water intake was constructed in the early 1940s, the design drawing is dated September 1942. Historical images from the bridge construction downstream of the weir in 1957 show the weir in the background. From these images it looks like the original weir was replaced with a rock covered earthen berm. It is possible that they just added soil and rock onto the original concrete weir, but we assumed a worse case of the original weir being removed or washed out.
In 1986 the weir was raised and repaired. The raise consisted of placing additional soil and rock fill on the existing earthen berm then placing gabion baskets and a concrete cap. The bank slopes also had gabion basket protection placed on them when the weir was raised. Fish passage was one of the concerns listed in the 1986 404 permit, but they were not able to incorporate a fish passage into the weir repair.
The water intake weir has deteriorated since the 1986 repair. The concrete cap has several large cracks in the surface, the gabion baskets below the cap can be seen in locations, and some pieces of the downstream edge of the concrete weir cap have broken off. The gabion baskets have also deteriorated, many are missing rock material or have broken open. During boring it was observed that there are large voids under the concrete cap and water was flowing through the weir.
