Y--American River Watershed (Common Features), Sites R7 and L7 Sacramento, California, remediation of both sites using jet-grouting for gaps in the existing cutoff wall.

The Sacramento District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has an upcoming acquisition to establish contracts to construct cutoff walls using the jet grout method along the waterside slope of the levee in Sacramento, California. Site R7 is located on the right back of the American River at the H Street Bridge within the vicinity of Fair Oaks Boulevard. A 151 foot gap at the site is proposed to be closed with approximately 265 lineal feet of cutoff wall using the jet grout method along the waterside slope of the levee. The proposed cutoff walls will begin 22 feet before the end of the existing slurry cutoff wall, running parallel and adjacent to the existing walls for 12 feet. It will then turn at an angle and run down the waterside slope of the levees, then turn and continue parallel to and offset from the levee crown. It will turn at an angle to run up the waterside slopes to the crown of the levee, and then turn and continue for an additional 12 feet parallel and adjacent to the existing slurry cutoff wall. Site L7 is located on the left bank of the American River at the H Street Bridge adjacent to Sacramento State University. A 148 foot quote mark window at the site is proposed to be closed with approximately 275 lineal feet of cutoff wall using the jet grout method along the waterside slope of the levee. The proposed cutoff walls will begin 22 feet before the end of the existing slurry cutoff wall, running parallel and adjacent to the existing walls for 12 feet. It will then turn at an angle and run down the waterside slope of the levees, then turn and continue parallel to and offset from the levee crown. It will turn at an angle to run up the waterside slopes to the crown of the levee, and then turn and continue for an additional 12 feet parallel and adjacent to the existing slurry cutoff wall. After the jet grout cutoff wall is installed, a blanket of low permeability material will be placed on the waterside slope of the levee. The blanket will begin 10 feet beyond the cutoff wall centerline and extend up the slope. The Contractor shall use a triple-fluid jet grouting system for constructing cutoff walls at both sites. The Contractor shall also be able to jet grout around existing utilities, to be protected in place. Acquisition Information: This acquisition is proceeding as a Two-Step Invitation for Bid (IFB).
