PROJECT BACKGROUND: The project is located at the north end of Tillamook Bay on the Oregon Coast, about 47 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River. Tillamook Bay is a tidal estuary about 6 miles long, north to south, and a maximum of 3 miles wide. Five major rivers flow into Tillamook Bay. The ocean entrance to the bay is located at its northern end and is protected by two jetties, a north jetty and south jetty. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) constructed and maintains the two jetties for the purpose of providing reliable navigation into and out of the bay. The north jetty was originally completed in 1917 to a length of 5,400 feet, with the longest extension completed in 1965 to 5,700 feet. Repairs occurred to the head in 1991, leaving the end at 255 feet shorter than the authorized length. Additional repairs to the north jetty were completed in 2010 that included the construction of a new, 100-ft long jetty head using 30-ton or heavier stones. Currently, repairs are needed to the north jetty trunk and root to address existing damage caused by an increased wave climate and restore the structural integrity of the jetty. Description of Work: Proposed repairs to the north jetty include toe, side slope, and crest repair construction above -10 feet NAVD88 elevation along 1,300 feet of the jetty trunk/root. This trunk/root section will be constructed with a crest width of 30 feet, side slopes of 1V:2H, and a crest elevation of +22 feet NAVD88. The estimated stone volume required for the north jetty repairs is approximately 8,970 cubic yards with a minimum stone density of 167 pounds per cubic foot. Optional work includes repairs to 400 feet of jetty root to a crest width of 20 feet, 1V:2H side slopes, and crest elevation of +18 feet NAVD88. The estimated stone volume for the optional repairs is 3,830 cubic yards with a minimum density of 167 pounds per cubic foot. Access to the north jetty is through the Barview Jetty County Park from US Highway 101. An approximate 5-acre area near the north jetty root is available for material and equipment staging and storage. The parking area at the north jetty, staging area, and a portion of the access road will be temporarily closed (gated) for public access during construction. The contractor must maintain the locked gate and provide barriers and signage at the access road to prevent public access to work areas. The Government will obtain a temporary right-of-way permit from the County to allow construction access through the park and any improvements required for the project. The period of performance for stone placement for the base award and optional work, if exercised, will be April 1 through October 31, 2022. The estimated Magnitude of Construction for this project is between $8,000,000 and $15,000,000 for all base and optional CLINs. 5. Submission Instructions.
