The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District, is anticipating the issuance of a solicitation for a construction project to repair the levee at MRLS L246. The project will be a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract, and the estimated magnitude of the construction is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The work will include earthwork operations, bringing in fill and borrow material, haul road development, clearing of debris, erosion repair, rutting repair, levee surfacing, and establishment of turf for repairs of compromised landside, riverside, and crown levee sections.
Some key aspects of the project include:
• The project is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside competitive acquisition
• A site visit is planned, but details regarding the date, time, and location will be provided within the solicitation
• The estimated performance period for completing construction is approximately 365 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed (NTP)
• A bid bond will be required with the proposal, amounting to 20% of the offeror's proposed price or $3,000,000.00, whichever is less
• Performance and Payment Bonds will be required for the full amount (100%) of the awarded contract before the Notice to Proceed can be issued
