Central City Flood Control Project

What is the central city flood control project?

The Central City Flood Control Project is a proactive approach to flood control. The project addresses Fort Worth’s flood risks that are a result of explosive population growth with the city having tripled in size since the current levee system was constructed in the 1960s.

The Central City Flood Control Project has two main components:

• The rerouting of a section of the Trinity River due north of downtown (bypass channel).

• Modifying a large park on the east side of the city (Gateway Park) to better manage flood events in a manner that will also restore the area.

• Levee project of 1957 designed for 1960 population of 350,000

• Growth in Tarrant, Parker and Wise counties contributing to drainage problems

• Impervious developments contributing to drainage problems

• 2003: 86% of Fort Worth’s levees no longer adequate (USACE Central City Interim Feasibility Study)

• Fort Worth is now over 1,000,000 people! 11th Largest in U.S.

Why did the dam and the levee break up?

Because the dam said, “You’re too controlling!” and the levee replied……

“At least I don’t’ crack under pressure!”

CONTRACT INFORMATION

Acquisition: Unrestricted / Full & Open Solicitation Type: Design-Bid-Build RFP NAICS: 237990 – Heavy Civil Period of Performance: ~48 Months Advertise: Jan 2026 Bid Opening: Mar 2026 Award: Sep 2026 NTP Construction: Oct 2026 Project Complete: Jan 2031 Options: None

PROJECT SUMMARY

A Design Bid Build contract, the project includes construction of a new Hampton 3 Pump Station which will comprise five concrete volute pumps capable of 140K GPM each discharging via 84” steel discharge pipes over the levee. One 10K GPM low flow pump with new outfall canal will be constructed to convey discharge to the Trinity River.

Utility relocations and coordination, drilling thru levees, instrumentation planning and monitoring, temporary flood protection measure implementation, among other ancillary items will be needed to successfully deliver the project.

Contract Magnitude: $100M – $150M

HAMPTON 3 PUMP STATION CONCEPTUAL

Site Considerations

• Two adjacent pump stations in operation

• Pedestrian recreators in floodway

• Winter & Spring flood chances

• Variable stratigraphy and groundwater conditions

HAMPTON 3 PUMP STATION SEQUENCING

Sequencing Considerations

• Utility Relocations

• Intake channel box culverts and diversion

• Factory testing and inspection of pumps prior to shipping with matchmarks to project site

SUCCESSFUL OFFERORS TIPS

DO your homework. Review fact sheets and know your capabilities. Plan for long lead items/market conditions.

DO respond to Sources Sought opportunities during market research phase. Update SAM regularly.

DO sharpen your pencils – Incumbents are not automatically the winners. Searching for best value!

DO register with the SWF Small Business. Attend SWF Small Business Industry Day in the Spring.

DO read the RFP and ask questions. When in doubt, ask a RFI or bidder inquiry in DrChecks. In some cases, a call to the Contracting Officer is appropriate.

DO ask for a debrief – This could impact your CPARS going forward.

DON’T use blast email hoping to reach the right person.

DON’T overextend yourself. Do not take on work that you cannot do well or inexperienced. It could hurt you going forward in your CPARS.

DON’T play with the math – Do not plan to bid low and make it up using modifications.

DON’T be afraid to leverage your Contracting Officer or Alternate Contracting Officer.

SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION TIPS

Partnering for success: Familiarity and application of EP 34-1-1; Alignment of subs with project specifications, shared risk register, streamlined decision making in field office

Labor Compliance & Certified Payroll: Usage of approved electronic payroll software (EMARS, LCP Tracker);

Prime to Subs payment w/in 7 days of receipt from government; Redundant personnel to access/process payroll system

Buy American Act--Construction Materials: Only the Contracting Officer (not ACO) can approve a waiver/deviation. Notify the Government ASAP if something is non-compliant. (FAR 52.225-9)

Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) is required for this job. Needs to be submitted to the state. Application reviewed thru USACE Environmental.

Resident Management System (RMS) proficiency including but not limited to correspondence, Requests for Information, Submittals, Daily Reports, Deficiency Tracking, Insurance, and Payment Requests.

7. Performance History (Experience): Update recent

Project Labor Agreements (PLA)

Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) has delegated authority to grant an exception from the requirements at FAR 22.503(b) which requires the use of PLAs on large-scale construction projects ($35M), signed 12 June 2025.

FAR allows agency discretion to grant an exception where market research indicates that competition would be hindered by lack of offerors or lack of competitive pricing.

What does this mean?

Contracting Officer issues Special Notice, PLA Survey, and or RFI, requesting industry feedback on the use of PLA for each specific project.

PLEASE RESPOND

Your response is our Market Research Justification

No guarantee, however, industry feedback MAY grant an exception to PLA in solicitation https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/M-25-29-Use-of-Project-Labor-Agreements-on-Federal-Construction-Projects-Amendments-to-OMB-Memorandum-M-24-06.pdf https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/M-25-29-Use-of-Project-Labor-Agreements-on-Federal-Construction-Projects-Amendments-to-OMB-Memorandum-M-24-06.pdf

AFAR Update ~ AS3

Army Federal Acquisition Regulation (AFAR) updated Dec 2024 Appendix – AA, ARMY SOURCE SELECTION SUPPLEMENT (AS3) https://www.acquisition.gov/afars/appendix-aa-table-contents

Three significant updates:

1. Past Performance

Allows Contracting Officer discretion to determine how far back past performance may go & should be used …

* Large & Complex Construction, may be appropriate to extend the time period considered for past performance to more than 6 years to obtain realistic examples.

2. SBA Certified

* Under SB Participation Factor: Proposals including HUBZone, VOSB, SDVOSB, and WOSB percentages must ensure those socio-economic category submissions are SBA Certified.

Impact may be that they are not counted towards SB Participation / SB Subcontracting Plan Goals.

3. Commitment Letter

If commitment letter is not signed by BOTH the prime and subcontractor the evaluation team is NOT to evaluate or consider the subcontractor's reference.
