Durund Elzey Deputy District Engineer USACE – New Orleans District 10 Dec 2025 Project Overview

Project Overview

Distribution of Structures – 0-25 Year Floodplain The project is 100% voluntary Buyouts & acquisitions are not part of the project.

The Project recommends 3,462 residential structures will be considered for elevation equivalent to the 2075 100- year BFE. Qualifying residential structures will be raised approximately 5 feet on average, but no higher than 13 feet.

3,462

RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES ELIGIBLE

TO BE

RAISED

DRY FLOOD-PROOFING

342 non-residential structures will be considered for dry flood- proofing to 3 feet above ground.

BERMS

Localized risk reduction measures (constructing berms) for 157 warehouses will be considered less than or equal to 6 feet above the ground.

Home Elevations What You Need to Know This is 100% voluntary and there is no cost-share to the homeowner Flood insurance is not required for participation Buyouts and acquisitions are not allowed Homeowner must complete the application process What You Need to Know Covered Costs:

Raising you home 3-13 feet Utility and structural adjustments NOT Covered:

Temporary relocation for homeowners Add-ons or upgrades Hazardous material remediation (mold/asbestos, lead, etc.)

What’s Covered & What’s NOT in a Home Elevation Home must be identified in the Feasibility Study in 2016 Home mist be structurally sound Applicant possesses a clear title and owns the home No unresolved estate issues or liens on the home Have not received previous federal funding for elevation Properties must be free from hazardous materials or contamination (mold, asbestos, lead, etc.)

Homeowner must sign a participation agreement agreeing to keep the area below 1st floor non-habitable (can be used for parking, access, storage, etc.)

What is Required?

Around 3,462 properties are eligible in Cameron, Calcasieu, and Vermilion Parishes – you may be one of them!

Design Build Process

Government Furnished Info (GFI)

Bridging documents provide site specific design requirements set by USACE and field data.

The Designer of Record (DOR) is responsible for site condition and field data verification prior to commencement of design and work.

Government Furnished Info – Bridging Document Summary The floodproofing bridging documents will include:

Work Summary Floor Elevation Survey Sheet (FESS) Structural Conditions Assessment Report (SCAR) Structural Conditions Assessment Survey (SCAS) Phase 1 Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) Report Archaeological Report These documents will contain detailed information collected by the third-party contractor, to be used in developing the design.

The information and summaries in the bridging documents are provided for reference in preparation of Task Orders.

Engineering – Design Requirements Max. Area of Steel for Existing Concrete Grade Beams and Slabs As = 0.0015** ** Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), coring, or chipping may be used to verify slab and footing widths, depths and rebar size and spacing to prove otherwise Segmental Concrete Press Piles may only be used to initiate the lift and as temporary shoring in combination with timber cribbing. Inclusion of any above-grade portion of a segmental concrete press pile into the permanent foundation is prohibited.

Dry stacking concrete blocks above grade is not permitted.

All new columns, piers, and walls are to be supported on reinforced concrete footings.

Existing shallow foundation elements left in place after elevation shall not be used to support new construction and must be demolished.

Construction

Construction – QA/QC USACE contracts require a comprehensive Construction Quality Management Program Construction Quality Management (CQM) is the performance of tasks that ensure construction is performed according to plans and specifications, on schedule, within the defined budget, and in a safe work environment.

For a project to be successful, the Contractor and the Government must work in partnership to implement an effective CQM program.

Contractor Quality Control (QC) Ensures the project meets all quality requirements of the contract.

Develops and implements a comprehensive QC Plan that outlines quality oversight for all features of the project.

Provides a designated Quality Control Manager and staff on site daily to perform inspections and report findings.

Government Quality Assurance (QA) Verifies that the Contractor’s QC system is working effectively and that the completed work complies with the quality standards established by the contract.

Utilizes Quality Assurance Representatives (QARs) who perform site inspections and report findings.

Construction – Safety USACE contracts require a comprehensive Safety Program

Contractors must comply with all applicable safety regulations, including OSHA (29 CFR 1910 and 1926) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1).

Accident Prevention Plan (APP): A written APP is required and must be submitted to and accepted by the USACE before work begins. It outlines the contractor's specific safety program for the project.

A qualified Site Safety & health Officer (SSHO) is required on-site to ensure compliance, meet specified training requirements, and have experience on similar projects.

Daily safety inspections and hazard tracking are required. All documentation must be entered into the USACE Resident Management System (RMS).

DOING BUSINESS WITH THE GOVERNMENT

Doing Business With The Government

Market Research:

Sources Sought - Ask for industry comments or provide notice that a solicitation is planned. This is your opportunity to let us know your capabilities or provide your professional input.

Pre-Solicitation Notices – A pre-solicitation notice is published a minimum of 15 calendar days before the solicitation is published, however, it can be months or even years depending on the scope of the project.

Solicitations:

Most solicitations are advertised for a minimum of 30 days.

Amendments are changes to the solicitation. Amendments often answer questions, clarify the work to be performed, or correct errors in the solicitation. Amendments also may extend the due date of the offer. You must acknowledge each amendment when submitting your offer to confirm that you are offering on the most recent version of the work to be performed.

Design Build

What is Design-Build?

Project delivery method combines design and construction phases into a single construction contract.

Pre-award process governed by:

FAR 36.303 Procedures: Subpart 36.3 - Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures Engineering Regulation ER_1180-1-9 DESIGN BUILD CONTRACTING Best Value Trade-Off: DOD Source Selection Procedures (IAW FAR 15)

Two-Phase Source Selection

How Does Two Phase Design-Build Process Work?

Specifications: Preliminary design & provisional drawings only Phase 1 is used to select the most highly qualified offerors to compete for award in Phase 2. ONLY those considered highly qualified will participate in Phase 2.

Cost will be an Evaluation Factor in Phase 2.

Phase 2 is evaluated separately than Phase 1 so ensure ALL pertinent information is included in the Phase 2 proposal.

Contracting Best Practices

Read solicitation in full! Most questions can be answered by reading and re-reading the entire solicitation Q&A: Carefully note due date for questions and submit per instructions in the solicitation.

Read the Evaluation Criteria in full! Do not assume the evaluators know the information. Assumptions are not made in evaluating proposals.

File Names: Named files need to match file names outlined in the solicitation submission requirements.

Redundancy in Phase 2: Yes, repeat relevant information in Phase 2 that was provided in your Phase 1 proposals – evaluators do not look at Phase 1 proposals during Phase 2 evaluation.

Page limits! Extra pages will not be evaluated.

Early! Submit proposals well in advance of due date and time to allow for server lag, technical issues, etc.
