The Government anticipates issuing an Invitation for Bid with the intent of awarding a Firm-Fixed Price construction contract for Sacramento River East Levee(SREL), Contract 4

Project Description:

The scope of work for Sacramento River East Levee (SREL) Contract 4 is construction of approximately 2.4 miles of seepage cutoff wall construction using Jet Grouting and Conventional open trench construction methods. The contract also includes 0.12 miles of seepage & stability berm construction, and 0.37 miles (roughly 1/8th of a mile) of levee raise. Construction of the levee improvements are along SREL in five segments beginning just south of the American River/Sacramento River confluence and the town of Freeport, CA within the Sacramento, CA area. The scope also includes relocation and removal of multiple levee encroachments within the work area, removal and replacement of City of Sacramento Sump 41, and removal, handling, import, and disposal of soils. All work is required to be completed No Later Than (NLT) December 2023 with the levee reconstruction completed not later than 30 September 2023. Construction of Contract 4 has a high logistical complexity given 1) multiple concurrent cutoff wall headings will be required to complete work within the given period of performance, 2) Space for construction activities is severely limited because the levee is immediately adjacent to residential properties and structures on the landside and the Sacramento river channel on the waterside, and 3) the number of staging areas available are limited due to few open spaces in the neighboring suburban areas.

In accordance with DFARS 236.204(ii) the estimated magnitude of construction is expected to be between $25,000,000 to $100,000,000. This prospective contract action will be conducted using NAICS Code is 237990 - Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. The size standard is $39.5M.  Product Service Code is Y1LC - Construction of Tunnels and Subsurface Structures.
