Special Instructions:

The scope of the project includes a detailed survey of the area. A geotechnical investigation was conducted to confirm the soil materials and analyze the method of failure. The bank will be cleared of all vegetation. It is proposed to install a riprap ditch along the edge of the road and connect to the top of the riprap. The method of streambank restoration is to backfill the eroded area with filter stone and class I riprap. The 8" of filter stone will act as a filter, allowing the water to exit the bank.

The bank will be protected by overlaying a minimum 40-inch layer of vegetated Class I riprap for approximately 380 feet along the bank. The new riprap stone will be installed from the toe of the bank up to EL 623.5. It is anticipated that construction will be completed in one construction season. The project area is approximately 1.64 acres. Most of the riprap toe will be placed under the ordinary high-water elevation. The 450' length riprap will be placed at a 2 to 1 slope with topsoil placed within the riprap to allow vegetation to grow. A 125' long ditch will be constructed with riprap and a filter fabric layer. A portion of the existing County Road 21 will be demolished with another project realigning the road post construction. The Vermilion River is a wild and scenic river.

This procurement is 100% set-aside for Small Business, NAICS 237990 (Size Determination $45M).

Method of Payment under this contract will be Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to a commercial bank account specified by the Contractor.

One award will be made from this Solicitation.

Note: The contract award will be based on Lowest Price to the Government.

Quotes are due on 17 February 2025 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time.
