Y--Award of East Grand Forks Levee Stabilization Project

East Grand Forks Levee Stabilization, East Grand Forks, Minnesota. Principle features of work include all plant, labor, materials and supplies required to remove approximately 900 linear feet of levee and native soils (approximately 169,000 cy), i nstall approximately 25,000 vertical wick drains (70 ft depth) below the levee footprint, install a sand drainage layer (7,000 cy - 1 ft thick), and then reconstruct the levee to elevation 830. The levee would then be raised in 2 separate lifts to a final design height of approximately 842. Raising the levee above elevation 830 will be done in stages as instrumentation will determine the amount of surcharge that can be placed. Contract duration is estimated to be approximately 1 year but will ultimately b e determined through instrumentation as to when the final embankment placement can be made. After final embankment placement, a bituminous recreational trail with a levee crossover (approx 2635 sy), topsoil, seeding, landscaping and 2 park benches will be installed to complete the project. This procurement is issued as a set-aside 8(a) competitive under the Small Business Demonstration Program (Public Law 100-656). The procurement will be conducted using a Request for Proposal based on a lowest priced, t echnically acceptable format. The technical acceptability criteria includes Execution Plan, Relevant Project Experience, and Past Performance. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 237990 with the Small Business Size standar d of $31 million. The estimated order of magnitude of construction in terms of physical characteristics and estimated price range is between $1 million and $5 million.
