The Norfolk District, Corps of Engineers is conducting market research to identify potential sources for culvert repair designs.The project includes a base bid consisting of the removal and replacement of two culverts on Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. One culvert calls for a double 36" reinforced concrete pipe and is in an environmentally sensitive area that requires coordination in a restricted area, and the other culvert is a 36" reinforced concrete pipe on a highly trafficked roadway essential to the installation's mission requiring extensive earthwork and roadway demolition. There are four option culverts, pending funding, two of which have similarly environmentally sensitive and restrictive constraints.

The complete scope of work is in the $500,000 and $1,000,000 range. The anticipated period of performance is 360 calendar days.

Sources sought respondents can reasonably anticipate portions of the scope requiring performance during off-peak night and/or weekend hours.

a.Weekend work is allowed due to inaccessibility with range control at times and to expedite duration of disturbance. No holiday work.
b. Coordinate construction timing with training schedules.
c. Late summer work is preferred due to hydrology, but at this point may not be feasible. Avoid spring construction due to higher water levels.
