About this opportunity

This pre-solicitation notice seeks capability statements from contractors interested in replacing the aging intake gate and performing repairs at the Mount St. Helens Spirit Lake headwall in Oregon. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District will evaluate statements to determine the ability of respondents to complete a project estimated between $10-20 million. Contractors must demonstrate experience performing mechanical dredging, hydraulic steel structure fabrication, cofferdam design and implementation, and construction in remote, environmentally sensitive areas. Capability statements are due by March 18, 2022 and must include business information, qualifications, intended use of subcontractors, and past projects of similar scope and magnitude.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The proposed NAICS code is 237990 for other heavy and civil engineering construction. Project work includes a 3-mile temporary access road, barge loading facility, dredging from barges or floating platforms, construction behind a cofferdam, and replacement of the inlet gate and slide gate. Respondents must also have experience working in conditions with limited cellular service and inclement weather.

Mount St. Helens Spirit Lake Intake Headwall

U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, PORTLAND DISTRICT

RESPONSES DUE: 03/22/2021 at 5:00 pm

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY. This notice does not constitute a commitment by the Government.  All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary, and the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government.

The proposed NAICS code for this procurement is 237990 - Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction.

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Portland District is searching for Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction Contractors who can provide construction services for Mount St. Helens Spirit Lake Intake Headwall. As part of its market research, USACE Portland District, is issuing this Sources Sought to determine if there exists an adequate number of qualified interested contractors capable of providing the requirement. The Government may use the responses to this Sources Sought for information and planning purposes.

Debris from the 1980 Mount. St. Helens eruption blocked the historic outflow of the lake, and engineers built a tunnel to drain the lake and prevent a catastrophic flood.  A 1.5 mile drainage tunnel was built by the Army Corps of Engineers to drain the lake and prevent a catastrophic flood.  The 35-year-old tunnel needs extensive repairs, and were it to fail, the lake could rise, break through the debris blockage and cause disastrous flooding in the Cowlitz and Toutle valleys.

The multifaceted project focuses primarily on Spirit Lake’s drainage issues.   Re-establishing the road from Windy Ridge to the south shore of the lake would allow access the area to take samples of the debris blockage holding back the lake. It also would make it easier to replace the aging intake gate.  The proposed 3.4-mile access road would be built along an old road used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the early 1980s that generally tracks along the Truman Trail

The Mount St. Helens Spirit Lake Headwall will include to the following items:

• A 3 mile temporary access road including cut and fill road design.

• A lake-side barge loading facility consisting of an earthen ramp, and a staging area

• Mechanical Dredging from barges or floating work platforms

• Construction of and working behind a cofferdam

• Replacement of inlet gate, design of slide gate, hydraulic steel structures

• Concrete repair to Headwall

The anticipated magnitude for this project will be between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000.

*****UPDATED DATE******

The anticipated Solicitaiton release date for this project will be 13 April 2022

NO AWARD WILL MADE FROM THIS INITIAL NOTICE. THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR BIDS OR REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS.
