About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, conducted an Industry Day on August 24, 2026, in Anchorage, Alaska, to familiarize contractors with the Lowell Creek Tunnel Repairs design-bid-build project in Seward, Alaska, and solicit industry feedback on construction methodology and feasibility. The project involves demolition of existing damaged liner, construction of replacement rails and concrete liner, placement of 1.5-inch abrasion-resistant concrete, and dewatering and diversion operations within an existing water transport tunnel system spanning Station 0+55 to Station 21+84.
Sixteen representatives from thirteen companies, including Granite Construction Company, Guy F. Atkinson Construction, Michels Federal, and LRL Construction, attended in person or via MS Teams. The Corps distributed a questionnaire addressing eleven topic areas: construction concerns and risks with mitigation strategies, construction methodologies and sequencing, winter operations and tunnel dewatering, site access and laydown areas, materials and labor supply chain capacity, concrete channel construction approaches including formwork methods, subcontractor coordination in constrained workspace, concrete batch plant logistics and abrasion-resistant concrete sourcing, creek stage monitoring procedures, labor requirements and housing, and adequacy of the proposed three-year contract duration.
Attendance was voluntary and not a prerequisite for proposal participation. The Corps emphasized that no solicitation or draft solicitation was released at the event. Technical drawings representing 65 percent design were provided for contractor planning purposes.
