The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Memphis District (MVM) is conducting research to determine the capabilities of potential contractors to support the Mississippi Rivers and Tributaries (MR&T) Channel Improvement Project. MVM is seeking qualified, experienced sources capable of performing the construction and maintenance of various types of stone navigation structures to include all types of dikes, revetments, chevrons, bendway weirs, hardpoints, and other river training structures in the Mississippi River within the boundaries of the Memphis District from approximate River Mile 954 to 599 Above the Head of Passes (AHP). 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, revetments, chevrons, bendway weirs, hardpoints, 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 top bank of the river and riprap bank paving to include bank clearing, grading and excavation. Since project initiation, over 1,100 stone navigation structures with an estimated total length over 350 miles 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 durations for the projects will be determined per task order. The work on each task order will consist of furnishing all plant, labor and materials for the work to be performed. Specific items of work may include, but not be limited to clearing and grading of the riverbank, placement of stone bank paving, placement of longitudinal stone toe protection and stone fill in specified areas such as dike fields, revetments, and other locations, and placement of various types of stone to construct dikes, bendway weirs, and other river training structures. The work shall be performed according to the base MATOC specifications and supplemental specifications & plans for each individual 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 quote mark drag-off quote mark placement; 3,000 tons per day for quote mark bailing quote mark 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 to 320 AHP. The MATOC ordering period will be four (4) years. The total contract capacity will not exceed $49M. The estimated minimum size of a task order is $1 Million. The estimated maximum size of a task order is $10 million with the average size task order being $5 Million. Firms must have the ability to perform up to two task orders simultaneously. Upon award to the initial MATOC pool, individual task orders will be competitively issued to MATOC holders, through designating the locations and types of work that will be performed on each task order.
