Marysville Ring Levee (MRL) Phase 2A North

Marysville Ring Levee Phase 2A North The Government anticipates issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) with the intent of awarding a Firm-Fixed Price construction contract for the Marysville Ring Levee (MRL) Phase 2A North Project. This acquisition is being set-aside 100% for small business concerns. This acquisition is proceeding as an unrestricted / full and open request for proposals. However, please note that the RFP will require the successful prime contractor to self-perform the cut-off wall effort of this project. Project Description: The Marysville Ring Levee (MRL) Project is located in Marysville, California. The purpose of the project is to reduce flood risk to the urban area of Marysville. The Phase 2A North project is situated just north of the 5th Street Bridge abutment. The project consists of strengthen the existing levee system from station 195+40 to 208+60, by means of a seepage cutoff wall under the riverside toe of the levee, and backfilling the excavated levee slope with a portion of the excavated material and imported impervious fill. The cutoff wall is approximately 1200 lineal feet (LF), the depth of the cutoff wall varies from 36 to 38 feet, and a minimum thickness of 30 inches. Additionally, the cutoff wall will tie into an existing cutoff wall near station 195+40. The cutoff wall will be constructed using the Open Trench method. A portion of the waterside embankment will be removed and replaced with a portion of removed material and impervious imported material, with a final slope of 3:1. The embankment removal will encroach on the levee crown road and the Bituminous Concrete Pavement (BC) and Aggregate Base (AB) will be removed and replaced. An area with stone and concrete rubble on levee embankment will need to be removed as it lies within the cutoff wall alignments. Erosion control measures will need to be applied to all disturbed areas. The contractor will remove and reconstruct approximately 200 feet of the upper portion of the bike trail and safety rail. The project is located adjacent to an active UPRR tracks. Safety precautions will need to be taken and access to the construction site will not require crossing the tracks. Coordination with PG&E will be required to address relocation of overhead utilities before excavation of the embankment and during construction of the cutoff wall. Removal and protection of some trees, branches and bushes may be necessary within the temporary construction easement. The Government estimates issuing the contract award on or about 31 August 2017. The period of performance for construction is estimated to be 269 calendar days from notice to proceed.
