The Shell Creek Levee construction project will consist primarily of clearing and grubbing, earth moving and placement of soil and grading to a finished levee cross section, involving dump trucks, dozer and scraper work. Levee crest width is 12 feet, and the levee will have 3:1 riverward slopes and 5:1landward slopes. In the portions of the levee where the height exceeds 5 feet, a 50 foot seepage berm will be constructed on the landward side. A 6 quote mark layer of topsoil will be placed on top of the random fill to support vegetative growth and a 4 quote mark layer of road gravel will be placed along the entire length of the levee crest to facilitate maintenance of the levee. Construction of drainage structures; both a cast in place twin box culvert with slide gate and an RCP culvert with flap gate and sluice gate will be included in the bid package. Some riprap placement will be needed near the downstream end. Additionally, one road raise will be required, which will involve removal of the driving surface and repaving of a portion of that secondary road. Borrow sites for both the cohesive fill and the random fill have been preliminarily identified by the city of Schuyler. Grading and shaping of borrow areas following material extraction is anticipated. The estimated construction cost of this project is between $2,500,000 and $5,000,000. _______________________________________________________________________________ The Contractor will be required to commence work within 10 days after notice to proceed and complete the work 365 calendar days after receipt of Notice to Proceed.
