Fairfax Access Manholes Industry Day 10.6.26.pptx

This file is an Industry Day presentation agenda and planning notes for the Fairfax Access Manholes Project scheduled for October 6, 2026. The presentation materials outline discussion topics and action items related to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' design-build solicitation (W912DQ26RA065) for installing access manholes at the Fairfax-Jersey Creek Levee Unit in Kansas City, Kansas. Key discussion points include defining improper operations and maintenance (O&M), confirming uplift mitigation strategies from 2021 inspections, establishing baseline conditions, determining historical inspection and replacement requirements from 1950, assessing whether work increases or decreases risk, analyzing whether the system has exceeded service life, and conducting seepage analysis. Internal action items reference ensuring the 2021 inspection explanation is documented in reports, coordinating reviews with Brad and an LSO (Eric) after Army Technical Review (ATR), and confirming whether permeability testing was completed by Benesch and whether the collector system was originally intended as a required component per the O&M manual.

The presentation materials support the underlying federal contract opportunity valued between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 (not to exceed $3,400,000), which requires minimally invasive excavation methods to avoid mass trenching while installing seepage collection system access points. The contract falls under NAICS Code 237990 with a size standard of $45 million, issued by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District.
