USACE SPK – DBB – American River Common Features (ARCF), Erosion Lower American River (LAR) Site 1-1 (Contract 3A) – Sacramento, CA

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Sacramento District (SPK), anticipates a potential requirement to perform design-bid-build (DBB) construction services to conduct erosion control measures along site 1-1 of the in support of the American River Common Features (ARCF) Erosion Lower American River (LAR) Site 1-1 project (referred to as contract 3A), which is located on the American River within the American River Parkway in Sacramento, California. 

Site 1-1 is located on the left bank looking downstream. The site roughly extends from the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Bridge to approximately 1,800-feet upstream of the Interstate 80 Business Bridge. Construction access is anticipated to be from Sutter’s Landing Regional Park to the west and Glenn Hall Park to the east. The primary intent of the project is to reduce the risk of levee failure by erosion during extreme flow events. 

The project is anticipated to include construction of approximately 2,500 feet of riverbank and river toe erosion protection and stabilization of the existing levee; design is not required.  Vegetation clearing (including the removal of select trees to four feet above existing grade) and the transplanting of elderberry shrubs within the project footprint is anticipated to be performed by another Contractor prior to erosion protection and on-site habitat construction activities. The Contractor is anticipated to be required to protect identified vegetation, structures, and utilities, remove stumps, strip & grub the project footprint, install temporary access ramps, and place silt fencing, construction chain link fencing and construction safety fencing along the project footprint, staging areas, and haul routes. After the project site has been prepared, it is anticipated the Contractor will be required to excavate and regrade approximately 3,300 cubic yards of material from the downstream riverbank slope, as well as stockpile suitable excavated material for placement as engineered fill. It is anticipated the Contractor will be required to install soil-filled rock slope protection on the waterside levee face and riverbank, install rock apron protection at two existing stormwater outfalls, place soil and rock  to construct river toe protection and planting bench features, tie-in erosion protection elements to existing rock revetment features, place instream wood structures on the planting benches, and provide temporary erosion control for stabilization of disturbed soil areas.  It is anticipated that about 2,500 feet of the site will require working in the active channel of the American River to place material with associated turbidity control.  It is anticipated the project will require import and placement of approximately 36,000 tons of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Class I riprap, 30 tons of FHWA Class II riprap, 750 tons of FHWA Class VI riprap; 6,400 tons of FHWA Subbase A bedding, 100 tons of B4 bedding; 9,500 cubic yards of FHWA Class I soil-filled rock; 4,600 cubic yards of topsoil, 7,000 cubic yards of soil fill; 145 trees (for instream wood structures), and 1,350 live cuttings to be planted on-site.

If solicited, the Government intends to award the contemplated requirement as a firm-fixed-price contract by approximately 21 July 2023.
