About this opportunity
The USACE is seeking services for implementing seepage control measures and repairing levee slides along the Mississippi River Levee in Tennessee. This work will impact various wetland and non-wet treed areas, requiring compensatory mitigation including restoring 27 acres of forested bottomland hardwood wetlands. The USACE will consider purchasing credits from approved mitigation banks and in-lieu-fee programs in the impacted watershed as an alternative. Proposals are due by September 28, 2023 and will be evaluated based on technical qualifications and price factors to best meet the contract objectives.
No set-aside is designated for this requirement. The primary NAICS code is 237110 and PSC code Q2. The incumbent contractor is unknown. The value is undetermined but will encompass implementation, 27 acres of wetlands restoration, and potential mitigation bank credit purchases. Work will take place along the Mississippi River Levee in Dyer and Lake Counties, Tennessee and be performed by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Memphis.
Notice text
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is required to implement seepage control measures and repair levee slides along the Mississippi River Levee (MRL) in Dyer and Lake Counties, Tennessee, to repair and prevent future levee stability issues. During project review, it has been determined that a total of approximately 3.3 acres of forested wetlands, 0.85 acres of farmed wetland, 0.14 acres of mowed/maintained wetlands along the landside toe of the levee, and 8 acres of non-wet treed area will be impacted by the proposed project. The Clean Water Act, the Water Resources Development Act, Rule 33 CFR 332, the 2008 Compensatory Mitigation Rule, et al. require that compensatory mitigation is completed to offset unavoidable impacts incurred due to a water resources project. An Aquatic Resources Alteration Permit (ARAP) issued by the Tennessee Department of Environmental Quality required compensatory mitigation entailing the restoration of 27 acres of forested BLH wetlands (11 acres due to wetland impacts and 16 acres due to non-wet tree clearing). Where appropriate, USACE considers purchase of credits from approved mitigation banks and in-lieu-fee programs in the impacted watershed to be a reasonable compensatory mitigation alternative.
