This is a presolicitation notice for removal of an existing timber bridge and construction of a government provided prefabricated steel truss bridge in Excursion Inlet near Juneau Alaska.  The existing bridge was closed to vehicular traffic on July 8, 2016 for reasons of public safety. 

This project is located in the Tongass National Forest on National Forest System Road No. 8552 at Mile Post 1.5 in the Juneau Ranger District approximately 37 miles from Juneau, Alaska.

The work consists of installing a government furnished Acrow Series 300 modular bridge superstructure by launching.  This work involves clearing and grubbing, erosion control, structure excavation, roadway resurfacing and embankment, removing and disposign of existing timber bridge, removing and disposing of rock-filled steel enclosed piles, development of two rock pits, furnishing and installing timber foundations, tranporting a government furnished bridge from the loading docks at Excursing inlet approximately 2 miles to the bridge site, erecting a steel truss bridge, and furnish all other incidental items necessary to complete the project.

The government furnished bridge will be transported by the Forest Service by barge from Auburn, WA and delivered to the loading dock area at Excursion Inlet.  The bridge is expected to be shipped and delivered to Excursion Inlet in four (4) 45,000 lb flats. 

The magnitude of constructions is as follows:

Base - Between $100,000 and $250,000
Option 1 (Removal of existing filled stell drum casing columns) - Less than $25,000

Due to the immediacy of this requirement due to public safety concerns of the existing bridge, the government expects the solicitation to be posted within the next 7 days with a maximum 2 week response time.  A draft copy of the project drawings is attached for review and comment.  Interested parties are invited to submit questions to the primary point of contact.
