Lake County Raw Water Pump Station Mitigation

Presolicitation Notice: Lake County Raw Water Pump Station (RWPS) Painesville, OH This is NOT a request for proposal or invitation for bid; this is for INFORMATIONAL purposes only to make industry aware of the upcoming requirement. A response is not required at this time. The USACE Buffalo District is currently preparing a solicitation to award a contract for a project on the south shore of Lake Erie, in Lake County, OH, approximately two miles east of Fairport Harbor and 25 miles west of Ashtabula, OH. The Lake County Raw Water Pump Station is situated atop a 50?foot high bluff that rises above a 10 to 60?foot wide sand and gravel beach. In this area, erosion problems exist along a 600?foot long section of shoreline fronting the station. In this vicinity, bluff retreat has exceeded 50 feet in some locations. Continued erosion threatens the Lake Co0unty RWPS facility. Measures to protect this area include constructing an approximately 600-foot long rubble mound revetment at the base of the shoreline bluff. Access to the shoreline would be created by constructing an access road cut directly into the bluff. In order to prevent scour at the base of the revetment, a trench will be excavated to key the toe of the structure into the existing sediments and bedrock.
