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: There are eight discrete locations along several miles of the Upper Snake River. Five locations totaling 2,995 feet are found on the left-bank between River Mile 815.4 to 851.0, Jefferson County, Idaho. Three locations totaling 700 feet are found on the right-bank between River Mile 833.0 to 843.3, Madison County, Idaho. Where the river impinges the levees, high velocity flows from the 2017 run-off caused significant erosion and riprap displacement. Construction requires restoring the levee to the as-was condition by re-constructing portions of the levee that eroded away and replacing the armoring on the riverward side. All eight sites have incurred similar damages. Riprap on slopes and toes eroded away during spring 2017 high flows. This has caused the slopes to become steeper than 2H:1V, which are unstable for riprap. Some riprap remains, but does not constitute a competent revetment surface. This displaced riprap has exposed the levee shell material underneath which needs to be protected with quarry spalls before riprap placement. The contractor will cover fill material and exposed levee fill with one foot of quarry spalls and then riprap (2-4' diameter). The volume of quarry spalls and fill is 13,482 cubic yards and riprap placement 8,738 cubic yards. Riprap will be hauled from a local pit by the contractor to the sites that vary from 4 miles to 14 miles one way. River depth varies significantly throughout this reach. Some sites could be 12 to 20 feet deep at the toe of riprap placement. The estimated period of performance is July 2018 - September 2018. All on-site work shall be performed in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1). The contractor will be responsible for establishing and managing an effective on-site Safety and Health program in accordance with EM 385-1-1 that will require the development and submission of a comprehensive project specific Accident Prevention Plan for Government acceptance. In addition, the contractor will be required to develop and submit for Government acceptance Activity Hazard Analyses for each phase of work and a project specific Fall Protection Plan that comply with EM 385-1-1. A Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) employed by the prime contractor shall be required for each shift of the contractor's on-site operations. The SSHO shall possess a minimum of 5-years experience in construction safety on similar projects, shall have completed the 30-Hour OSHA Construction Safety training within the last 5-years, and shall have completed at least 24-hours of formal safety training each year for the past 5-years. The contractor will be required to use the Government-furnished Construction Contractor Module (referred to as QCS) of the Resident Management System (RMS) to record, maintain, and submit various information throughout the contract period. QCS is a Windows-based program that can be run on a stand-alone personal computer or on a network. The Government will make the QCS software available to the contractor after contract award. The project will involve the development and management of contractor furnished submittals for items such as pre-construction plans, product data, test reports, and contract close-out documentation as required by the technical specifications of the contract. Miscellaneous work within the project includes the delivery of As-Built Drawings and Operations & Maintenance manuals to the customer.
