Construction project entitled: Waitsburg Levee Rehabilitation. The construction will occur on the Waitsburg Levee in Waitsburg, WA. This will be a firm-fixed-price construction contract. Construction magnitude is estimated to be between $100,000and $250,000. Payment bonds will be required. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this project is 237990 and the associated small business size standard is $36,500,000. Solicitation is open to women-owned small business concerns. Summary of Scope of Work: The Waitsburg Levee system is on the left-bank of the Touchet River in Waitsburg, Washington. The rehabilitation site is at the upstream end of the levee system, where it ties into high ground. The work will require traffic control on Highway 12. It is anticipated that dump trucks will need to turn onto the levee on the downstream side of the highway, and back across both lanes of the highway to back up along the levee to the worksite, which is approximately 800 feet upstream from the Highway 12 Bridge. The needed traffic control requires permits from both the State and the City. Excavations will be needed where the levee ties to high ground. Approximately 30% of the levee cross section will be excavated in a localized area to make room for a riprap buttress fill. After excavations are complete, large riprap stone can be imported and placed to construct the buttress fill, reconstruct a new riverside levee slope at the end of the levee, and repair the slope armor along the levee extending downstream. Limited levee crown repairs will be completed to repair the expected rutting and shoving that will be caused by the construction equipment traffic. The estimated period of performance is July 2018 - September 2018. All on-site work shall be performed in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1). The contractor will be responsible for establishing and managing an effective on-site Safety and Health program in accordance with EM 385-1-1 that will require the development and submission of a comprehensive project specific Accident Prevention Plan for Government acceptance. In addition, the contractor will be required to develop and submit for Government acceptance Activity Hazard Analyses for each phase of work and a project specific Fall Protection Plan that comply with EM 385-1-1. A Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) employed by the prime contractor shall be required for each shift of the contractor's on-site operations. The SSHO shall possess a minimum of 5-years' experience in construction safety on similar projects, shall have completed the 30-Hour OSHA Construction Safety training within the last 5-years, and shall have completed at least 24-hours of formal safety training each year for the past 5-years. The contractor will be required to use the Government-furnished Construction Contractor Module (referred to as QCS) of the Resident Management System (RMS) to record, maintain, and submit various information throughout the contract period. QCS is a Windows-based program that can be run on a stand-alone personal computer or on a network. The Government will make the QCS software available to the contractor after contract award. The project will involve the development and management of contractor furnished submittals for items such as pre-construction plans, product data, test reports, and contract close-out documentation as required by the technical specifications of the contract.
