About this file

This is a solicitation for a construction project to install relief wells and electric-powered pumps along the west bank of the Mississippi River in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. The project involves boring 42 eight-inch relief wells approximately 100 feet below the landside levee toe, spaced about 150 feet apart. An existing drainage ditch will be excavated and graded to collect outflow from the wells. Six pairs of electric pumps will convey seepage water discharged from the wells back over the levee and into the river during high water. Permanent 12-inch HDPE discharge lines with steel end sections will be installed above the levee. Slope paving will be provided where pipes emerge from cover. The estimated value is between $5 million and $10 million. This is a set-aside solicitation for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses only. The solicitation and additional details can be found on beta.SAM.gov using the provided solicitation number. The point of contact for questions is the named Contract Specialist.

00010-4 ED 20-059

NOTE 1: Bidders shall furnish unit prices for each item listed in the Schedule requiring a unit price. If the bidder fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required item(s), but does furnish an extended total, or an estimated amount for such item(s), the Government shall deem the unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended amount for that line item by the quantity. IF A BIDDER OMITS BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED

TOTAL OR ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY ITEM, ITS BID SHALL BE

DECLARED NON-RESPONSIVE AND THEREFORE INELIGIBLE FOR

AWARD.

NOTE 2: Any bid may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines in writing that it is unreasonable as to price. Unreasonableness of price includes not only total price of bid, but the price for individual line items as well. Any bid may be rejected if the prices for any line items or sub line items are materially unbalanced (See FAR 14.404-2, Rejection of Individual Bids).

NOTE 3: THE NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP): The successful bidder is advised that performance and payment bonds shall be submitted in accordance with the time frame in block 12B of SF 1442. The NTP will be issued immediately after verification of acceptable performance and payment bonds. Within seven (7) days after issuance of the NTP, the Contractor shall initiate a meeting to discuss the submittal process with the Area or Resident Engineer or his authorized representative. Physical work cannot start until the Accident Prevention Plan, Contractor Quality Control Plan, and other submittals which may be required, have been submitted and approved and all preliminary meetings called for under the contract, have been conducted.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 LEVEE CROWN AND PAVEMENT AREAS

3.1.1 Levee Crown

The crown of the levee to be used by construction traffic shall be conditioned in advance of pavement operations to carry and withstand such traffic required by these specifications. The crown of the levee shall be graded to a reasonably smooth surface that slopes to drain. Throughout the period of pavement construction, the crown shall be maintained by shaping, addition of surfacing materials as specified in Section 32 15 00.00 12 SURFACING (CRUSHED STONE), paragraph MAINTENANCE, and compaction as may be necessary to avoid damage to the levee and permit passage of construction traffic. Wherever, by reason of rainwash, the Contractor's operations, or other causes, fill must be placed to restore the levee to pre-construction condition, embankment material shall be placed, and compacted in accordance with Section 31 24 00.00 12 EMBANKMENT, paragraph EMBANKMENT CONSTRUCTION.

3.1.2 Pavement Areas

Preparation of the area to receive pavement shall commence as follows:

(1) All vegetation and debris shall be removed from the area to receive pavement.

(2) The area / slopes shall be graded and/or degraded to a reasonably smooth, uniform surface to the slopes shown on the drawings, in such a manner as to maintain the maximum design section. Wavewash and rainwash gullies less than 6 inches in depth may be refilled by plowing and/or disking the slope of the levee without adding any material.

Gullies 6 inches or greater in depth shall be filled with embankment material compacted to a density at least equal to that of the adjoining

SECTION 35 42 38.00 12 Page 9 ED 20-059 undisturbed embankment and dressed in accordance with the requirements of Section 31 24 00.00 12 EMBANKMENT, paragraph "Dressing."

(3) After the area and slopes have been prepared, but prior to excavation of the cutoff wall trench, the entire area above the original natural ground surface shall be compacted by not less than 5 passes over the entire surface by the treads of a crawler type tractor, or similar equipment. A pass shall consist of complete coverage of the surface of a layer by the treads of the tractor or other compacting equipment approved by the Contracting Officer. Portions of the embankment, which the compacting equipment cannot reach for any reason, shall be compacted by an approved method to the density equal to that of the surrounding embankment. In the event the prepared slope is damaged or develops low areas in the course of compaction or during subsequent operations, embankment material shall be added, compacted and dressed. Dressing includes bringing the entire embankment to not less than the prescribed design cross section at all points in areas where embankment is to be placed. Compaction shall be repeated to whatever extent is necessary to produce a smooth slope meeting the requirements of these specifications. After final compaction is completed, the area shall be dressed to a smooth surface suitable to receive the pavement.

3.2 TOE TRENCH

3.2.1 Excavation

The toe trench shall be smoothly excavated to the section and bottom elevation shown on the drawings. In the event that the toe trench is excavated to depths greater than those specified, the Contractor shall fill the excessive excavation by placing excavated embankment material in layers, 6 inches or less in thickness, and compacting each layer to the density of the adjacent undisturbed ground, up to the elevation specified for the bottom of the pavement. In lieu of filling the excessive excavation, the Contractor may extend the pavement, at full thickness, down to the bottom of the cut. However, if the Contractor elects to extend the pavement to elevations lower than those specified, no payment will be made for such extra pavement. The toe trench shall be kept thoroughly drained.

3.2.2 Stockpiling

Earth material from the toe trench excavation shall be placed to a uniform grade and section adjacent to the excavation in the batture area.

3.2.3 Backfilling

Backfilling operations shall not commence before 7 calendar days, and must be completed within 14 calendar days after placing the bottom slab. The material excavated from the toe trench shall be used as backfill unless it is determined otherwise by the Contracting Officer. Backfilling shall be accomplished in accordance with Section 31 24 00.00 12 EMBANKMENT, paragraph "Compacted Fill" and shall not damage the pavement. Any pavement damaged during backfill operations shall, at the expense of the Contractor, be replaced or repaired as directed by the Contracting Officer. In the event that the backfill develops low areas, additional material shall be placed as may be necessary to produce a smooth backfill, without humps or hollows, to allow drainage away from the levee.

SECTION 35 42 38.00 12 Page 10 ED 20-059

3.3 CUTOFF WALLS

Cutoff walls shall be constructed along the top of the pavement, and down the slope of the levee from the top to the bottom of the pavement, in accordance with the details shown on the drawings. The cutoff wall trench shall be kept thoroughly drained.

3.4 JOINTS

Within 15 days after completion of the required curing period, all debris, dirt, laitance and curing compound shall be removed from all types of joints by sandblasting or another approved method. Immediately after cleaning, all joints shall be filled with sealant utilizing equipment and methods recommended by the sealant manufacturer. All joints shall be filled to within 1/8 inch plus or minus 1/16 inch below the pavement surface. The Contractor shall be careful not to over fill or under fill the joints.

3.4.1 Construction Joints

Construction joints shall be constructed where new pavement abuts existing new pavement in the direction parallel to the ditch centerlines. The surface of any existing new pavement against which new pavement is to be placed shall be chipped and wire brushed to the extent necessary to remove damaged and unsound concrete and provide a clean surface. A 1/2 inch wide by 1-3/8 inch deep recess as shown on the drawing shall be constructed for sealant. At all other locations throughout the limits of the job, construction joints will not be permitted unless approved by the Contracting Officer.

3.4.2 Dummy Joints

Dummy joints within the slabs shall be constructed a maximum distance of 10 feet from each other. These joints shall be 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch wide and 1-3/8 inches deep and shall extend from one end of the pavement to the other, in the direction perpendicular to ditch centerlines.

3.4.3 Expansion Joints

Expansion joints shall be constructed perpendicular to the ditch centerline at 30 foot maximum intervals, and at locations where the Contractor stops the pavement operation on any day. Expansion joint filler shall be one continuous piece the full width of each slab (ribbon). Expansion joints shall consist of 1/2 inch thick actual size, expansion joint filler topped with joint sealant, as shown on the drawings. Above the expansion joint filler, to the top surface of the pavement, the joint shall be formed with a 1/2 inch block of wood. This block shall remain in place for 24 hours or longer as determined by the Contracting Officer, if block removal operations cause breakage of the pavement.

3.5 FORMING

Forms shall be true to line and grade, mortar tight and sufficiently staked to prevent deformation under load in excess of 1/4 inch in 10 feet. All forms shall be so constructed that they can be removed without damaging the concrete. Forms shall be coated with a form release agent, which shall be applied shortly before concrete is placed.

3.6 PREPARATION FOR PLACING

Concrete placement shall not begin until the entire preparation including the following items has been accepted by the Government. The entire cross section shall be brought to the lines and grades shown, unless approved by the Contracting Officer. Snow, ice, standing or flowing water, loose particles, debris, and foreign matter shall have been removed. Earth foundations shall be compacted and dressed as specified in Section 31 24 00.00 12 EMBANKMENT, paragraph "Compaction". Reinforcement shall be secured in place; joints, anchors, and other embedded items shall have been positioned. Internal ties shall be arranged so that when the forms are removed the metal part of the tie will be not less than 2 inches from concrete surfaces permanently exposed to view. Embedded items shall be free of oil and other foreign matter. All equipment needed to place, consolidate, protect, and cure the concrete shall be at the placement site and in good operating condition. The ground shall be moistened (being careful not to pond water) immediately prior to concrete placement to prevent the soil from prematurely drying out the fresh concrete.

3.7 PRODUCTION OF CONCRETE

Ready-Mixed concrete shall conform to ASTM C 94/C 94M and concrete made by volumetric batching and continuous mixing shall conform to ASTM C 685/C 685M, except as otherwise specified. The equipment used by the Contractor to produce and place concrete shall be capable of doing so at a rate that will prevent the occurrence of cold joints. The Contractor shall have facilities to measure and record moisture contents of the aggregates and adjust mix proportions to compensate for varying moisture contents. A batch ticket, as specified in ASTM C 94/C 94M (including information in paragraph CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS), shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer for every batch of concrete when delivered to the project. The Contracting Officer shall have free access to the batching and mixing plant at all times.

3.8 CONVEYING

Concrete shall be conveyed from mixer to forms as rapidly as practicable, by methods that will prevent segregation or loss of ingredients. Concrete mixed in stationary mixers and transferred by non agitating equipment shall be placed within 30 minutes after it has been mixed unless otherwise authorized. When a truck mixer or agitator is used for transporting concrete, the concrete shall be delivered to the site of the work and discharge shall be completed within 1 1/2 hours after introduction of the cement to the aggregate or water.

3.9 PLACING CONCRETE

3.9.1 General

Concrete placement shall not be permitted when in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, weather conditions prevent proper placement, finishing and curing. Placement of concrete shall commence with the bottom slab being placed first, progressing up the levee slope to the top slab unless another order of work is approved by the Contracting Officer. The placement shall be carried on at such a rate that the formation of cold joints will be prevented. Concrete shall be worked into the corners and angles of the forms without permitting the materials to segregate.

Concrete shall be placed within 15 minutes after it has been discharged from a truck mixer. No waste water or concrete from equipment cleaning

SECTION 35 42 38.00 12 Page 12 ED 20-059 shall be disposed of in forms or on completed pavement.

3.9.2 Cold-Weather Requirements

The ambient temperature of the space adjacent to the concrete placement and the concrete surface to receive the concrete placement during cold weather shall be above 40 degrees F. Concrete, when deposited in the forms during cold weather shall have a temperature of not less than 40 degrees F. When heating is necessary to keep the concrete temperature above 40 degrees F, it shall be regulated so that the concrete temperature does not exceed 75 degrees F. Salt, chemicals, or other foreign materials shall not be mixed with the concrete to prevent freezing. Any concrete damaged by freezing shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the Contractor.

3.9.3 Hot-Weather Requirements

When the rate of evaporation of surface moisture, as determined by use of Figure 4.1 of ACI 308R, is expected to exceed 0.2 pound per square foot per hour, provisions for windbreaks, shading, fog spraying, or covering with a light-colored material shall be made in advance of placement, and such protective measures shall be taken as quickly as finishing operations will allow. All concrete placed during warm weather shall be delivered to the forms at the coolest temperature that is practicable to produce under current conditions but not above 95 degrees F. Concrete shall contain a retarding admixture if its temperature exceeds 85 degrees F.

3.10 FINISHING

All unformed surfaces shall be float and broom finished to elevations shown, unless otherwise specified. With the exception of concrete for electrical rack foundations, exterior surfaces shall be sloped for drainage.

Unformed surfaces shall be finished to a tolerance of 3/8 inch for a float finish. Surfaces to be float finished shall be screeded and darbied or bullfloated to eliminate the ridges and to fill in the voids left by the screed. In addition, the darbying or bullfloating shall fill all surface voids and only slightly embed the coarse aggregate below the surface of the fresh concrete. When the water sheen disappears and the concrete will support a person's weight without more than about 1/4 inch indentation, floating should be completed. Floating should embed large aggregates just beneath the surface, remove slight imperfections, humps, and voids to produce a plane surface, compact the concrete, and consolidate mortar at the surface. Floated surface shall be completed with a broom finish producing uniform corrugations not more than 1/16 inch deep.

3.11 PROTECTION

Immediately after placement, all concrete shall be protected from premature drying and freezing temperatures. All concrete shall be adequately protected from damage. Concrete shall be protected from, the damaging effects of rain for 12 hours, and flowing water for 14 days. Concrete damaged by rain or flowing water shall be removed by the Contractor at no cost to the Government. No repair of damaged concrete will be allowed.

The air and forms in contact with concrete shall be maintained at temperatures above 40 degrees F for at least the first 3 days and at temperatures above freezing for the remainder of the specified curing period. During the period of protection removal, the temperature of the air in contact with the concrete shall not be allowed to drop more than 25 degrees F within a 24-hour period. No fire or excessive heat shall be permitted near or in direct contact at any time.

SECTION 35 42 38.00 12 Page 13 ED 20-059

3.12 CURING

Curing operations shall commence immediately after the finishing operations have been completed in the section to be cured. All concrete shall be cured with curing compound for 7 days, except concrete made with Type II, or blended cement and concrete containing pozzolan or GGBF slag, the curing time shall be 14 days. The curing compound shall be applied when the concrete surface is still damp but not wet with free water. Curing compound shall not be applied during rainfall. The entire surface of the paving shall be sprayed uniformly with curing compound. Formed surfaces shall also be sprayed with curing compound as soon as forms are dislodged.

Curing compound shall be applied under pressure by mechanical sprayers operating at a minimum pressure of 75 pounds per square inch, and at the rate recommended by the curing compound manufacturer but, in no case greater than 400 square feet per gallon. The spraying equipment shall be of the fully atomizing type equipped so that the compound can be stirred continuously by effective mechanical or other approved means. At the time of use, the compound shall be in a thoroughly mixed condition. Hand spraying of odd widths or shapes and on concrete surfaces exposed by the removal of forms will be permitted. Curing compound shall not be applied to the inside faces of joints to be sealed. Should the film become damaged from any cause within the required curing period, the damaged portions shall be repaired immediately with additional compound. Failure to provide sufficient cover material of the type specified shall be cause for immediate rejection of all concrete not properly cured.

3.13 FORM REMOVAL

After concrete placement is completed, forms shall not be removed before 12 hours, but shall be removed by 24 hours or as directed by the Contracting Officer.

3.14 JOINT SEALING

Within 15 days after completion of the required curing period, all debris, dirt, laitance and curing compound shall be removed from all types of joints by sandblasting or another approved method. Immediately after cleaning, all joints shall be filled with sealant utilizing equipment and methods recommended by the sealant manufacturer. All joints shall be filled to within 1/8 inch plus or minus 1/16 inch below the pavement surface. The Contractor shall be careful not to over fill or under fill the joints.

3.15 BACKFILLING AND EMBANKMENT DRESSING

Backfilling or dressing operations shall not commence before 14 calendar days after adjacent concrete has been placed or until cylinders cured in accordance with paragraph 10.2.1 of ASTM C 31/C 31M indicate that the concrete has attained at least 75 percent of the specified compressive strength. Operations shall be accomplished in accordance with the compacted fill requirements of Section 31 24 00.00 12 EMBANKMENT paragraph COMPACTED FILL and shall not damage the concrete. Any concrete damaged during backfill operations shall, at the expense of the Contractor, be replaced or repaired as directed by the Contracting Officer. The levee embankment adjacent to the pavement shall be flush with the top of the pavement. No forms or other foreign material of any description shall be left in the levee and ditch.

SECTION 35 42 38.00 12 Page 14 ED 20-059

3.16 G

For grouting of base plates non-shrink cementitious grout shall be used with a minimum compressive strength of 5,000 pound per inch at 7 days in a fluid state when tested per ASTM C 109/C 109M.
