The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District is conducting market research to identify sources (Small Businesses and Other-than-Small Businesses) that have the knowledge, skills and capability to perform the work concerning the potential project described below. Responses are requested only from: POTENTIAL PRIME CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS WITH COMPANY BONDING CAPABILITY (SINGLE JOB) OF AT LEAST $10M. The responses to this sources sought announcement will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions for this project. Responses are to be sent via email to william.t.rawe@usace.army.mil no later than 2:00 p.m. MST, 02 June 2020. Please include the Sources Sought Notice Identification Number in the Subject line of the email submission. Magnitude of Construction: Between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 Project Description: Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works (DPW) Office recently requested a design to rehabilitation an approximate seven-mile portion of Burma Road. Current roadway surface condition of gravel to remain unchanged. Roadway has large grade changes and areas of steep grades. Currently the roadway is closed during the winter months. DPW request’ improve geometrics in order to accommodate an increase in speed limit for both non tactical and tactical vehicles. DPW would also prefer to keep road open during all seasons. No pull-offs or passing lanes are required. There are several intersections with other roadways and with a military vehicle trail that will need to be maintained/altered if there is a grade change that impacts them. DPW indicates there is a buried electric utility line along most if not all of the roadway, and a communication utility line on the opposite side of the road. Probable realignment or replacement of portions of the utilities will be necessary. Geometrics - Where existing horizontal alignment is prohibitive of 45 mph design speed, sign for appropriate speed on curve. Vertical alignment will likely be challenging- preliminary assessment indicates existing grades in excess of 15% in some areas. Design to include determination of largest desired grade based on winter driving conditions, constructability, and economy. Current vertical alignment probably does not meet criteria for stopping sight distance for many sag and crest curves. Grading - Preliminary investigation indicates quite steep grades along sides of roadway, which may result in large cuts and fills if vertical alignment is altered. Clear zone and recoverable slopes for higher speeds will require large grading areas. Guardrail will be included as an option when roadside grading is infeasible or excessive. Drainage - There are few culverts under existing road. Design will include culverts to be replaced or extended (depending on condition). No existing drainage problems (flooding, standing water, etc.) have been evident historically. NEPA documentation will be completed by Fort McCoy DPW. Tank Trail Crossings - There are a few tank trail crossings on Burma Road that will require heavy-duty surface consideration. Tree removal - grading of a safety section (i.e. recoverable foreslopes and adequate clear zone) will require the removal of many trees. Trees will need to be replaced in-kind within the installation.
