AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District is conducting market research for the renovation of the fish collection facility on the Toutle River in Washington, issuing a special notice for a virtual industry day on July 6, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. PST via Microsoft Teams. This event is strictly for informational purposes and is not a solicitation, request for proposal, or bid, as explicitly stated under FAR subpart 5.2. Interested firms must RSVP no later than 11:00 a.m. PST on July 2, 2026, using a provided form to gain access to the event and receive post-event presentation materials; respondents are also asked to complete a follow-up questionnaire to inform future solicitation development. The project involves constructing a temporary fish collection facility to maintain operations during renovations to the existing structure, which will include structural upgrades such as a concrete foundation and steel superstructure designed to withstand operational, hydrodynamic, debris, and seismic loads. Modifications to the permanent facility encompass changes to the barrier structure, intake and weir box, diffuser, sorting and handling systems, entrance pool, fish ladder, and downstream channel, along with adding a new maintenance building, paving, and stormwater management features like two rain gardens. Access to the worksite will rely on existing infrastructure including State Road 504 and Otto Cook Road, with temporary access roads and a crane mounted on the existing spillway apron used for construction. A cofferdam will be installed to isolate work areas during critical phases, with both the temporary facility and cofferdam scheduled for removal upon completion of permanent upgrades. The NAICS code for this effort is 237990, and while no contract value or performance period is specified, the place of performance is confirmed as Toutle, Washington, 98649. The notice emphasizes that participation does not obligate the government to award a contract, no reimbursement will be provided for costs incurred, and submitted information may be used at the government’s discretion without obligation to respond or provide feedback.

Project Site Backgrounds/Scopes: The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Portland District is seeking to renovate the fish collection facility on the Toutle river.
ACTION DESCRIPTION
The Preferred Alternative includes the construction of a temporary FCF to allow for the continuation of fish capture operations during completion of the modifications to the existing FCF to address critical deficiencies. Construction of the temporary FCF would occur first and the temporary FCF would be removed following completion of the modifications to the existing FCF.
1. Temporary FCF
The temporary FCF would be comprised of a temporary collection box with a wrap-around access platform for staff operating the facility and a large debris deflector. A floating platform would be installed for workers to access the collection box. The temporary FCF would be comprised of a concrete foundation and structural steel superstructure for the collection box; it would be designed to resist operational loads (occupancy and mechanical system loads) as well as natural hazard load (hydrodynamic, debris impact, and seismic). The temporary FCF foundation would be anchored into the existing stilling basin concrete apron. A guide net for the temporary FBF would be supported by a steel cable system across the river. The existing shotcrete apron would be demolished in-place and then reinforced for ongoing use.
Existing onshore infrastructure would be utilized for staging and access. State Road 504 provides access to the general area, and river access road (Otto Cook Road) extends from State Road 504 to a parking lot at the FCF would provide access to the Project area. Within the Project area, a temporary access road would be constructed on the south bank of the river and onto the existing shotcrete to provide access to the river. A crane operated from the existing spillway basin concrete apron on the southern riverbank would be used to install the temporary FCF.
During construction of the temporary FCF, a cofferdam would be installed to isolate the work area associated with several of the proposed modifications to the existing FCF from flow in the North Fork Toutle River. The temporary FCF and cofferdam would be removed upon completion of the modifications to the FCF. Refer to Section 3.3 Preferred Alternative for additional discussion.
2. Modifications to the Existing FCF
Modifications to the FCF are focused on improvements to several existing elements, including the following:
• Barrier Structure: The existing notch in the barrier would be modified to be lower and narrower, an underflow gate would be provided, as would piers to support the control structure.
• Intake and Weir: The existing intake and weir box would be modified by increasing its overall width, providing stairs, new coarse and fine trash racks, juvenile fish exclusion, equipment for debris management, pump station intake, and sediment sluicing capability.
• Diffuser: The existing diffuser would be replaced with a new one with porosity control panels provided upstream and vanes would separate the new diffuser into four channels. Additionally, the existing conduit from the weir box to the diffuser would be replaced and four gates would be provided at the pipe outlet.
• Sorting, Handling, and Truck Transfer: A raised and covered platform for sorting and handling equipment would be provided, and the existing collection pool would be replaced with a false-floor crowder and gated sediment drainage pipes. Additional proposed elements include a sorting table, recovery tank, post-sort pool, and others.
• Entrance Pool and Fish Ladder: The elevation of the entrance pool and its sill would be lowered to provide adequate depth for the fish ladder entrance, and the entrance pool would be channelized at the approach to the fish ladder.
• Downstream Channel: The remnant downstream shotcrete liner would be removed and a pilot channel excavated on the left side of the river where the shotcrete is removed.
Additionally, a new maintenance building would be added, paving within the FCF Project area would be completed, and two rain gardens would be installed for stormwater management.
