Market Research Drawing Package (Draft).pdf

This is a market research drawing package and sources sought notice for the Kentucky Lock Approach Walls Contract issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District. The project, anticipated for late FY25, involves a bifurcated solicitation with a base contract and optional line item. The base contract includes construction of a 1,200-foot downstream fixed approach wall, downstream cofferdam demolition, and downstream approach area blasting and dredging. The optional line item encompasses upstream floating approach walls (1,200 feet and 300 feet), upstream cofferdam demolition, three upstream mooring cell demolitions, and upstream approach area blasting and dredging.

The project, located at Kentucky Lock in Grand Rivers, KY (Tennessee River Mile 22), has an anticipated value between $250-500 million under NAICS 237990. The procurement will use a staggered approach where a construction solicitation with 75-90% design will be issued concurrent with Brooks Act design completion. Contractors will have 30 days to submit Volume I (Past Performance and Technical Factors) proposals, followed by a pause until final design completion. After 100% design completion, qualified offerors will have 30 days to submit Volume II (Price, Small Business Participation Plans, and Subcontracting Plans). Interested parties should submit capabilities statements, business information, and relevant past performance to the specified contracting officers.
