***** 3 May 2024:  This opportunity has been updated to add the three noted RFP attachments *****

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District (SPK) anticipates solicitation of a requirement for design-bid-build (DBB) construction services to be performed in support of the MOTCO T4 T7 Bridge Repairs at Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO), California.

The project is anticipated to require repairs to the existing T-4 and T-7 bridges.  The T-4, and T-7 vehicular timber bridges are located along White Rd at MOTCO and cross over tidal sloughs and wetlands along the southern shoreline of Suisun Bay. These bridges need repairs above and below the decks. Regarding the repairs above the deck, they are replacing the approach railings/end treatments, sealing pavement cracks and replacing new AC pavement, relocating a fire hydrant, filling gaps around railing posts, and providing delineation markers plus pavement stripping. Repairs below the deck consist of removing deteriorated creosote-treated timber pile sections and replacing them with new sections of timber piling of treated wood preservative and reinforced external steel. Also, removing decayed wood, applying wood preservatives, and sealing timber voids must be performed. Filling voids under the existing concrete abutment are included as well.

The under the deck repairs must be performed by setting up temporary cofferdam or a similar device, dewatering, and if needed using a crane from above the deck only. The Contractor must follow the environmental permit requirements that will be specified in the drawings or specifications.

The Government anticipates the Period of Performance (PoP) for this requirement will be 540 calendar days with construction work being performed from July 2024 to November 2025.
