RECOVERY - Design of Rehab Improvements for various reaches within the Rectification Flood Control Project

THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY.  THIS OPPORTUNITY IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO THE CONTRACTOR UNDER IBM05D0001, S&B INFRASTRUCTURE, LTD. 

Scope of Work consists of a full geotechnical evaluation and preparation of design plans and specifications for levee rehabilitation of two levee reaches within the Rectification Project segment.  The two levee reaches are located one adjacent to Fabens in El Paso County and the other at Fort Hancock in Hudspeth County, Texas.   

The proposed levee rehabilitation improvements consist of 1) raising the top-of-levee elevation, 2) conducting geotechnical investigations and testing to determine the type and extent of any required remediation improvements due to slope stability, seepage, levee settlement, erosion, and any other geotechnical issues that may cause levee failure during a 100-year flood event; and 3) assessing all the structures within the levee reaches within the SOW and providing recommendation on the required rehabilitation for each structure.  Although the Contractor will provide an assessment and rehabilitation requirements for the structures, the structures cannot be modified at this time.  The levee improvements will require a design that will allow the structures to be left intact and will only include any necessary hardware modifications to allow for closure during flood events.  The top elevation of the levee-raising improvements will be as required to provide containment of design flood flows with a minimum freeboard of 3 feet for water surface elevations calculated in the USIBWC 2003 Hydraulic Model for the LRGFCP.  In general, work requirements in this Scope of Work will be sufficient to lead into contracting and performance of construction of the proposed levee improvements.  In addition, the SOW also provides for additional survey information for USIBWC internal use and records. 

This RFP is issued under a competitively awarded IDIQ for A/E Services.  The resultant task order will be firm fixed-price.
