Title of Project: Reconstruct/Stabilize Historic Stone Wall & Towpath McMahon’s Mill to Lock

42, CHOH 151201

Description:

The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the existing stonewall and re‐establish the towpath.

Missing or washed out retaining wall will be reconstructed and other sections will be stabilized.

The depth of the river at the towpath wall varies from 3 to 6 feet depending on seasonal fluctuations in the river level. The State of Maryland enforces an in‐river closure period to protect spawning aquatic species from February 28th through June 15th which impacts construction window. The work will reestablish a foundation for the reconstructed wall, removing vegetation which cannot be removed now because of towpath conditions and reinforcing existing historic wall. Work will be accomplished by hand and mechanical means from barges which increases the cost. The result is a long‐term sustainable solution.

Type of Procurement: It is anticipated that a negotiated firm‐fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and price proposal. The government will consider an offeror’s technical capability in comparison to its price.

Estimated Price Range: $5 million ‐ $10 million

Estimated Period of Performance: September 2020 – May 2022

Proposal receipt date is not known at this time. The actual date will be established in the solicitation documents

A pre‐proposal meeting may be posted and date/location will be noted in the solicitation.
