Marysville Ring Levee Phase 2B & 3

Marysville Ring Levee (MRL) Phases 2B & 3

The Government anticipates issuing a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable RFP with the intent of awarding a Firm-Fixed Price construction contract for Marysville Ring Levee Phase 2B and 3.   

Project Description:  The Marysville Ring Levee (MRL) consists of approximately 7.5 miles of levee surrounding and protecting the City of Marysville, California. Planned levee improvements address under seepage, through-seepage, embankment slope stability, utility penetrations, constructability, settlement and geometrical corrections to the levee embankment.

Two phases of the Marysville Ring Levee program, namely Phase 2B & Phase 3 are solicited as one construction project and are to be constructed in a minimum of two  construction seasons with all construction work completed by Dec. 2022.  Phase 3 has been divided up into multiple Segments (A through E) and Phase 2B labeled as Segment D.  Segments A, B, and C will be base contract items and Segments D and E will be option items.  Upon award of this contract, Segment A must be constructed first in 2020. Segments B and C must not begin physical work sooner than year 2021, unless otherwise notified by the Contracting Officer.   Options Segments D and E must not begin physical work sooner than year 2021 and as the options are exercised, unless otherwise notified by the Contracting Officer.

Approximately 15,000 linear feet of cutoff walls (open trench and deep mix method) will be constructed with a conventional degrade approach with removal of 1/3 of the levee height as measured from an average landside elevation. The cutoff wall begins on the east side of State Route 70 (SR70) and ends at a location just west of Highway 20, where the highway goes over the levee, near the PG&E sub- station.  

Design challenges include handling of existing utilities and encroachments including historic sewer tunnels, proximity to a Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) crossing, a Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) substation and service center.

In accordance with DFAR 236.204(ii) the estimated magnitude of construction is expected to be between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.  This prospective contract action will be conducted using NAICS Code 237990.  The size standard is $39,500,000.  The Product Service Code is Y1PZ, Construction of Other Non-Building Facilities

The solicitation will proceed as an unrestricted requirement and is estimated to be issued on or about 19 December 2019, with proposals due tentatively on 21 January 2020.  The RFP will be issued on the Government Point of Entry known at beta.SAM.gov and will establish a firm proposal due date/time.

The site visit date, time and location will be identified in the solicitation.
