This is a SOURCES SOUGHT notice. This is NOT a request for proposals.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District, is seeking to identify potential contractors that have the capability to provide construction services associated with the repair of revetment structures on the shore of Portage Lake Harbor at Onekama Township, Manistee County, Michigan. The total length of repairs to the north and south revetments is approximately 1235' and 1400' respectively.

Work may include:

1. Removal of concrete cap blocks, stone, timber revetment and piles,

2. Placement of new cantilever steel sheet pile wall, fill, toe, splash stone, reinforced concrete cap, rubble mound wave attenuators, splash stone, concrete walkway

3. Restoration of turf in all disturbed areas is required

4. Removal and replacement of cover stones which range in size from 5,000 to 10,000 pounds.

Revetment repairs must be completed from the water, using marine-base plant or platforms due to load restrictions on the existing structures.

A limited staging area would be provided adjacent to the south revetment.

Any cranes and equipment would be the responsibility of the Contractor.
