About this file
This is a Bid Inquiry Contracting Officers Report documenting bidder questions and government responses for the Saline #2, HC#4, Ray Carroll federal contract solicitation (W912DQ26BA0050001). The report contains 20 inquiries submitted primarily by Midwest Construction Company between May 2-11, 2026, with government responses provided through May 22, 2026.
The inquiries address clarifications on contract specifications and work requirements for levee repair and construction work across three levee systems: Ray Carroll Levee, Saline County Levee District No. 2, and Howard County Levee District No. 4. Key topics include: access to plans and specifications via Sam.gov and the PIEE Solicitation Module; tree clearing restrictions with mature trees to be marked by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) prior to work; perimeter fencing requirements; equipment notification timelines to the Air Program Manager; sheet piling coating requirements; erosion control material placement specifications; soil property testing requirements for contractor-furnished versus government-provided borrow areas; material disposition procedures; abandoned pipe and conduit removal; moisture content testing for impervious fill; wage rate references; surveying responsibilities; typical section drawings for repairs; and boring data availability. Multiple inquiries resulted in amendments being issued to address specification gaps or clarifications. The government confirmed that USACE will conduct initial staking and post-construction surveys to verify compliance with contract specifications, and that contractors must independently determine haul distances and fill placement locations based on solicitation documents.
