This announcement is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, implied or otherwise, to issue a solicitation or make a contract award. NO AWARD will be made from this Sources Sought Notice. This is NOT a request for proposal, quote or invitation for bid. The sole purpose of this notice is to identify potential System for Award Management (SAM) Database registered businesses that are interested and capable of performing this work. Project Description: The work includes installation of approximately fifty five (55) partially penetrating T-type relief wells, modification to four (4) existing D-type wells, extensive dewatering due to elevated groundwater, an articulated concrete mattress spillway, spillway formation and regrading, access road installation, extension of existing IDOT storm drains, and installation of automated piezometers in Madison County, Illinois. The project is located adjacent to Upper Wood River Levee along the left descending bank adjacent to Mel Price Lock and Dam. The wells are T-type, 10-inch diameter and approximately 30 to 50 feet deep. The wells are to be constructed of stainless steel riser pipe and well screen sections. The well screen shall be of the continuous slot, wire-wound design. The riser pipe roundness, wall thickness, and straightness shall meet ASTM A312 specifications. The screened portion of the well shall be surrounded by a filter pack composed of a washed sand composed of hard, noncarbonated, tough, durable, and uniformly graded particles free from adherent coating. The filter pack shall be placed in a tremie hopper so that filter material will feed freely and equally to two tremie pipes located at 180 degrees on each side of the screen. Following placement of filter pack materials, the relief wells shall be developed and pump tested for a minimum of two hours to determine the efficiency of the new wells. After each new well has been developed and tested, the annular space above the filter pack shall be backfilled by extending the filter pack a minimum of five feet above the top of screen, sealing with a five foot seal of bentonite pellets or chips. The remainder of the space up to the base of the concrete pad shall be backfilled with concrete grout. The work is anticipated to be performed within an existing ponding area of combined sewer and against route 143 highway embankment.
