EWP - Streambank Stabilization - Woodridge/Lincolnshire Site, Wood County, WV

The USDA NRCS is preparing to issue a solicitation for work authorized under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program to relieve imminent hazards to life and property due to a major flood event July 10-14, 2015, impacting Wood County, West Virginia.

The project focuses on restoring and stabilizing approximately 100 feet of stream on a property adjacent to the Woodridge Golf Course in the small community of Mineral Wells in Wood County, West Virginia. The open channel shall be lined with well graded 8 to 22 inch diameter rock riprap to stabilize and protect the stream bank. Disturbed areas are to be graded and seeded to provide positive drainage and vegetative cover. Two 24 feet sections of guardrail shall be installed across the road near the top of banks to serve as barricades to prevent vehicles from entering the channel.

The solicitation will be a Total Small Business set-aside. Interested contractors must be registered as Active, and must complete the annual representations and certifications electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) at http://www.sam.gov in order to be eligible for award.

All necessary permits and land rights have been acquired.

A Request for Quotes is being solicited, and can be supplied via fax, email, or regular mail. Award will be made to the lowest priced, responsive offeror.

An alternative form of payment protection, either a Payment Bond (SF-25A) or irrevocable letter of credit (ILC), in the amount of 100% of award will be required within 5 days of award.

The solicitation package, construction drawings and specifications will be posted and available from this site on July 14, 2016. Requests for quotes, under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, will be due by 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday July 27, 2016.
