Natomas Basin Reach H Levee Improvement Construction Project

The Government anticipates issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) with the intent of awarding a

Firm-Fixed Price construction contract for the Natomas Basin Reach H Levee Improvement

Construction Project.

Project Description: The Natomas East Main Drainage Canal west levee requires cutoff wall improvements from the pumping station just upstream of Dry Creek downstream (south) to

Arden-Garden Connector Bridge. The length of this reach is approximately 4.0 miles. The general improvements include improving the existing levee by fix in-place construction, and installation of a seepage cutoff wall with a depth of approximately 30-70 feet, and flattening the landside levee slope. There are two pump-stations which will require the discharge pipes to be raised. Installation of a landside maintenance road. The methods determined to be technically acceptable to the constructability of Reach H include conventional long reach excavation or One

Pass Trench. Materials to be used include Slag-Cement Cement Bentonite (SCCB) at three required locations; and either Cement Bentonite (CB) or One Pass Trench (OPT) can be used at any other location indicated to have cutoff wall.

In accordance with the DFAR 236.204, the magnitude disclosure of this construction project is between $25M and $100M.

This proposed contract action will be conducted using FSC Code: Y1LC, Construction of

Tunnels and Subsurface Structures and North American Industry Classification System Code

(NAICS): 237990 Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction and the small business size standard is $36.5 million.
