Yolo Bypass East Levee (YBEL) - North

YBEL – North Improvement Project

The Government anticipates issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with the intent of awarding a Firm-Fixed Price construction contract for the West Sacramento Yolo Bypass East Levee (YBEL) – North Improvement Project.

Project Description: The work includes proposed improvements and repairs to the Yolo Bypass East Levee. A segment of the levee identified as segment AD will be repaired to restore landside levee embankments, improve landside toe drainage, and mitigate seepage through construction of a subdrain system and pumping station.

The current project includes two work sites, on two segments of the Yolo Bypass East Levee (YBEL), identified as the South and North Improvement Projects.  These levee segments have been identified as deficient due to stability, seepage, and encroachments/penetrations. 

The work for the North Improvement Project includes repair to a segment of the levee to restore landside levee embankments, improve landside toe drainage, and mitigate seepage through construction of a subdrain system and pumping station.

The Government is particularly interested in embankment repair and construction; excavation; preparation for and installation of geotextile fabric, aggregate surfaces, topsoil, and erosion control seeding; removal of existing and construction of new drainage/subdrainage system, including filter material and a storm drain maintenance hole; and construction of a pump station.  

In accordance with DFARS 236.204(i) the estimated magnitude of construction is expected to be between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000.  This prospective contract action will be conducted using NAICS Code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction). The size standard is $45 Million.  Product Service Code is Y1LC (Construction of Tunnels and Subsurface Structures).

The solicitation will proceed as a Total Small Business set-aside acquisition and is estimated to be issued on or about May 15, 2023, with bids due tentatively on June 22, 2023.   The IFB will be issued on the Government Point of Entry known as SAM.gov and will establish a firm bid due date/time.

The site visit will be held at a time and place to be determined and will be included in the solicitation.
