DESCRIPTION OF WORK:  The project is to construct a river debris baling deck at the Chena River Lakes Flood Control Project near North Pole, Alaska.  The baling deck will be located on the north bank of the Chena River upstream of the Moose Creek Dam and will support a lattice boom crawler crane for the removal of debris (trees and stumps) trapped at the gates of the dam.  The proposed improvements will allow the crane operator to have visibility of the work area and will provide maneuvering room to set down the removed debris in piles for cutting.  The baling deck will be a cellular sheet pile structure consisting of three cells (50 feet diameter each) with a nominal overall footprint of 157’ x 50’and working area of approximately 140’ x 40’.  Sheet pile material for the closed cells and cell backfill material will be furnished by the Government.

The Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, supplies, materials (except sheet pile and fill material), supervision and other items and/or services necessary to accomplish the work.  Estimated award date of the contract is March 2020 with an estimated completion date of October 2020.  Construction wage rates (Davis-Bacon Act) will apply. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 237990, Heavy and Other Civil Construction, and the related size standard is $39.5 Million.  The estimated dollar magnitude of this project is $1M-$5M. The requirement for the submission of both performance and payment bonds, in an amount equivalent to 100% of the award price shall be applicable.  Therefore, the successful firm shall have the capability to acquire such bonding.
