Title of Work: Mississippi River Stone Placement at Various Locations Project Description: The work consists of furnishing all plant, labor, materials, and equipment for the construction of various types of stone navigation structures to include all types of dikes, chevrons, bendway weirs, hardpoints, and other river training structures in the Mississippi River within the boundaries of the Mississippi and Vicksburg Districts. Maintaining the MR&T Channel Improvement Project as authorized requires the construction and maintenance of various types of stone navigation structures, to include all types of dikes, chevrons, bend way weirs, hard points, and other river training structures. Additional work may include placement of stone fill and longitudinal peaked stone toe protection in specified areas such as dike fields, revetments, and other locations along the river as well as riprap bank paving to include bank clearing, grading and excavation. Since project initiation, over 1,100 stone navigation structures with a total length of 334 miles of structures and approximately 700 miles of revetment have been constructed. Individual Task Orders will be issued throughout the life of the contract designating the locations and types of work that will be performed. Estimated duration of the project will be determined per task order. The required daily production rates will vary based on the size, scope, and complexity of the individual task orders issued as well as the method of stone placement. Generally the production rates used to determine the various methods of stone placement will be approximately as follows: 8,000 tons per day for "drag-off" placement; 3,000 tons per day for "bailing" placement; and 1,000 tons per day for placement involving hauling stone with trucks. Additionally, the average required daily production for bank paving placement will be approximately 2,000 tons per day. The contract work is performed during variable river stages and additional equipment may be needed to meet the required production rates. In addition, a sufficient number of towboats and supply barges will be required to meet daily production rates at any location between River Miles 954.0 to 320.0 AHP.
