Yuba Gravel Placement

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is soliciting proposals for a gravel placement project on the lower Yuba River in California. The selected contractor will be required to furnish all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to deliver and place between 5,000 and 15,000 short tons of gravel and cobble directly into the river channel immediately below the PG&E Powerhouse between July 15th and September 1st each year from 2020 through 2025. Proposals will be evaluated based on price, with award being made to the responsible small business offering the lowest price. Proposals are due by March 27, 2020.

The requirement has been set aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 237990. The contractor will place gravel and cobble in one of three designated areas within a 0.25 mile stretch of the river below Englebright Dam to meet requirements of a Biological Opinion issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service. The work must be performed between July 15th and September 1st each year over a five year period. Prevailing Davis-Bacon wage rates have been determined for occupations involved in the project, which will take place in Smartsville, California.
