Construction project entitled: Gooding Diversion Project Rehabilitation. The construction will occur on the Little Wood River near Gooding, Idaho. Construction magnitude is estimated to be between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Performance and payment bonds will be required. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this project is 237990 and the associated small business size standard is $36,500,000. Solicitation is open to women-owned small business concerns. Summary of Scope of Work: The concrete diversion structures are located on the Little Wood River northeast of the City of Gooding, which also marks the beginning of the channel. The outlet dam and outlet channel are located approximately 3 miles below the channel on the old channel for the Little Wood River. The site is accessible at several points by local and residential roads. The high flows caused undermining of the diversion outlet apron, headcutting, and eventual erosion of the channel. The end wall separated from the outlet apron leading to undermining of the apron and end wall. The left bank channel wall directly downstream of the diversion structure eroded. Restoring to the as-was condition involves removing the under mined concrete section and replacing it with an outlet apron that will not be susceptible to head cutting in the near future. Suitable fill material and bedding for the new outlet apron will be placed in the channel. The left side channel wall will also be filled and graded. A new outlet apron and side walls will be placed in the same footprint. The end of the outlet apron will have a stem wall for stability. A well graded two foot diameter (max) rip rap will fill the area in the channel downstream of the basin that was eroded due to head cutting. The estimated period of performance is July 2018 - December 2018. All on-site work shall be performed in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1).
