Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District, seeks construction services to remove navigation obstructions on the Missouri River at river miles 90-91 using floating plant and mechanical methods. The project has an anticipated budget magnitude between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, and performance will occur at the specified river location. This is a 100% small business set-aside requiring a firm-fixed-price bid and compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act and Clean Water Act guidelines. A definitive responsibility criterion requires the low bidder to demonstrate specific past experience performing similar riverine work with a floating plant on a project valued over $1,000,000.
