8th Street Improvements, Bristol, TN/VA, US Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has a requirement for a firm fixed price construction contract for 8th Street Improvements, Bristol, TN/VA.

SCOPE OF WORK: The 8th Street Improvements are designed to reduce flooding in downtown Bristol, TN/VA in combination with other three alternatives built elsewhere in Bristol TN/VA. The 8th Street project site is located on Beaver Creek at approximate river mile 14.9 and consists of four main elements:

Channelization of Beaver Creek - approximately 680 linear feet of channelization of the left descending bank of the creek. The cut-slope will be lined with articulated concrete block to protect the slope from erosion.

Demolition of the 8th Street Bridge - the concrete arch two-lane bridge will be completely removed to facilitate channelization and improve flow in Beaver Creek. The bridge will not be replaced.

Demolition of the existing pedestrian bridge - the existing bridge (on Wes Davis Greenway) was constructed on top of an old railroad bridge that has numerous timber piers constructed at an angle to the direction of the flow in Beaver Creek. The piers act as a trash screen, collecting debris and blocking the already limited flow.

Construction of new pedestrian bridge - to replace the demolished pedestrian bridge, a new single span steel arch bridge will be constructed immediately downstream. The bridge will have a span of approximately 102 feet.


The estimated magnitude range is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00.

A site visit is scheduled for Friday, August 21, 2015, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time (EDT) (9:00 a.m. CDT). Participants are to meet at 324 8th Street, Bristol, TN 37620. Any questions after the site visit MUST be submitted in writing by 2:00 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, August 26, 2015 to Contract Specialist Kristal Jones at Kristal.R.Jones@usace.army.mil.
