Synopsis: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) Portland District intends to solicit construction firms who are interested in submitting a competitive firm-fixed price bid for this project. This announcement is for the Interim Repair of the Port Orford Breakwater located at Port Orford, Curry County, OR. Project Scope: This project consists of the following: Port Orford Breakwater Background: The breakwater sits on State owned land, but the breakwater is a real property asset of the Corps. The breakwater was authorized and constructed by the Corps in 1969 to protect the Port of Port Orford dock from wave action. The breakwater has not been repaired since initial construction. Waves and storm damage had damaged the breakwater in the center (location majority of winter waves and storms hit the structure), the armor stone had been knocked off the structure and it is currently unraveling in both directions. In 2012 ARRA funds were used to conduct a major maintenance report, which identified a preferred repair alternative. Since that time we have requested repair funds, and in 2017/2018 storm supplemental funds were received to conduct an interim repair (not the full rebuild identified in the MMR). The storm supplemental funds were requested after a major storm in 2016 that accelerated the breakwater's unraveling. If we do not repair the structure it will continue to unravel, resulting in continued loss of the federal infrastructure (increasing the cost to repair it), and the Port will continue to be subjected to increased wave action. Port Orford is a unique harbor in that there is no moorage in the water, boats must be hoisted out the water and stored on the dock. Increased waves limit the available time to hoist boats in and out of the water, thereby decreasing the days available for the commercial fishing fleet to access the ocean, while increasing the risk of life and safety of the fleet. Currently the fishing fleet provides ~$3-5M in fish value to state annually. Scope of Work: The Proposed Action is to perform an interim repair to the Port Orford breakwater by modifying its cross sections. The breach in the rubble mound breakwater will be filled to a crest height of +20 feet Mean Lower Low water [MLLW]. The width of the crest will be increased to 44 feet wide. The structure side slopes will remain as 1 vertical (V): 2 horizontal (H) on the seaward (west-facing) side and 1V:1.5H on the leeward (east-facing or harbor) side. Although the width of the crest will be increased, the structure will remain within the original design footprint of the 1969 breakwater. Required armor stone density is 170 pcf. Trucks or barges will be used to import and export construction material and equipment to the site. Scope is subject to change at the point of solicitation. Two staging areas will be used to store equipment and materials at any given time during construction. The equipment staging area is located adjacent to the breakwater along Dock Road and the stone storage area is located above the Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) line on Port Beach. Construction activities are anticipated to be completed within one summer season between May 1 and October 31, 2019. Acquisition Strategy: The solicitation will be an Invitation for Bid (IFB). This acquisition will result in a single fixed-price contract. The agency will use Hubzone Price Evaluation preference in accordance with FAR 19.1307. Magnitude of Construction: The estimated cost of the project is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. Set Asides and Codes: This is a Full and Open acquisition. This effort is classified through the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) under code 237990- Other Heavy Civil Engineering Construction. The Small Business Standard size ($36.5M).
