This notice provides details for an industry day regarding a federal contract opportunity for the Central Everglades Planning Project Contract 11A in Palm Beach County, Florida. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seeks to prepare approximately 9.25 miles of foundation for a 17.3 mile embankment dam. The scope of work includes clearing, grubbing, blasting, foundation preparation, installation of a seepage cutoff wall ranging from 35 to 60 feet in length and -25 to -50 feet below ground surface, canal backfilling, and related work. Interested parties must contact identified individuals by January 4, 2022 to receive the WebEx meeting link and instructions. The work will require extensive surface and groundwater management over the duration of construction to prepare the foundation according to specifications. Environmental permits will be obtained though the construction contractor will be responsible for additional authorizations. The project presents challenges including muck pockets up to 5 feet deep, limestone bedrock requiring blasting, and coordination with other ongoing operations and projects in the area.
