PURPOSE: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District is conducting this Sources Sought in support of Market Research to notify and seek potential qualified members of the industry to gain knowledge of capabilities, interest, and qualifications for completeing the work effort centers around the construction of a new, permanent access ramp at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant located at 6868 Watts Bar Hwy, Spring City, Tennessee 37381. Responses to this Sources Sought Announcement will be used by the Government in making the appropriate acquisition decisions. The Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of responsive contractors. The type of set-aside decision will depend on the responses to this sources sought. SCOPE OF WORK: The ramp is designed to facilitate the loading and unloading of critical equipment and materials transported via barge on the Tennessee River. It will be constructed to withstand the maximum anticipated loads associated with both historical deliveries and future removal operations at the site, specifically the approach wall beams intended for use at the new Chickamauga Lock. A key aspect of the project is the integration of the new ramp with the existing infrastructure, including the laydown yard for those beams. The new ramp will extend from the existing laydown yard towards the river channel. The design includes a transition from the ramp surface to the channel bed using crushed stone fill on a 3:1 slope. The project involves various earthwork activities, including cutting and filling, as well as the strategic placement of riprap for shoreline protection. Existing site features, such as overhead power lines, drainage features, and fencing, will be either protected in place, relocated, or removed as necessary to accommodate the new construction.
