Title of Work: Miston/Ridgley Berm and Levee Slope Restoration Project

The US Army Corps of Engineers, Memphis District, is seeking resumes from Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and/or SDVOSB Joint Ventures with the capabilities and experience performing the following work:

Project Description: The Miston/Ridgley Berm and Levee Slope Restoration Project consists of repairing failed landside levee slopes and constructing four separate landside berms over a 5 mile reach of levee along Great River Road north of INT 155. The northern limits of the project is at Lower Owl Hoot Road or Baseline Station 14/50+25 to the southern limits of work at Baseline Station 19/48+50. Most of the project is located in Dyer County, TN with a small stretch of work extending into Lake County, TN. The work consist of constructing four separate earthen berms adjacent to the landside levee slope, flattening the existing levee slope at each of the berm locations, excavating the failed landside levee slopes near or into the asphalt shoulder, compacting the excavated materials in the berm areas and compacting more suitable material into the excavated landside slopes with borrow adjacent to the existing riverside borrow pits. Borrow will come from the riverside borrow pit to complete the project. Other features will be installing a 48-inch CMP, placing filter fabric and road gravel, removing trees and debris, removing an existing fencing, asphalt, placing bedding stone, establishing turf, providing traffic control including Jersey barriers, signs, barrels, flagman, and maintaining borrow pit road access with limited Right Of Way and other features.

This project will require significant excavation and embankment placement of earthen materials including excavating from a wet borrow pit, maintaining haul roads, significant processing of earthen materials and working within tight ROW access along a TDOT Highway. Earthwork is generally seasonal between the months of May and November and the project limits are subject to flooding on the riverside from high Mississippi River stages and backwater flooding on the landside areas that could affect the construction season and the possibility of beginning the project after the ground has been flooded. The project also will include one access road into the borrow pit on the riverside with all the materials being placed on the landside requiring crossing of the Great River Road Highway. The contractor will also have strict limits on excavating the landside levee embankment slopes, compacting into the earthen berms and compacting borrow material into the levee slope embankments as one process.
