This Sources Sought Notice / Request for Information is issued for the purpose of Market Research and is seeking information at this time for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The contractor shall provide the construction of the Yazoo Backwater Pumping Plant. Project design is to be provided by the Government. The contract will consist of construction of the pumping plant structure including all site features. The pumping plant will consist of (12) each 1,167 cubic-feet per second vertical pumps driven by natural gas engines. The pumping plant building will be a reinforced concrete intake structure, a reinforced concrete substructure, and a steel frame superstructure. The intake structure will include an access bridge across the intake bays. The substructure will house the installed pumps and engines. The pumping plant will include a steel frame control house and maintenance bay, each slab-founded with grade beams. The control house will be located adjacent to the pumping plant and will include a control room and office space. The maintenance bay will be continuous with the pumping plant and will provide room for storage and maintenance activities. A bridge crane will span the length of the pumping plant and maintenance bay to allow for maintenance of the pumps and engines. This contract will also include fabrication and installation of the pumping units. The pumping units will consist of vertical pumps, natural gas engines, and right-angle gear reducers. Additional features of the pumping plant include inlet and outlet channels; reinforced concrete wing walls, reinforced concrete floodwalls; new levee to tie the structure in to the existing Yazoo Backwater levee; and a new pile-founded bridge across the intake channel along the levee centerline. The inlet channel will be approximately 1,200 feet long and will be lined with riprap along the 100 feet closest to the pumping plant. The outlet channel will be approximately 1,800 feet long and will be lined with riprap along the 200 feet closest to the pumping plant. The pumping plant will include steel discharge gates at the discharge ports on the river side to prevent back flow flooding from the Yazoo River. New levees will be constructed to tie-in the structure to the existing Yazoo Backwater levee. The line of protection will be from the existing Yazoo Backwater levee, along new levee, along the new floodwalls and pumping plant structure, along new levee, to terminate at the Yazoo Backwater levee. A levee bridge will be constructed along the centerline of the existing levee to maintain public access along the levee. The pumping plant will be access controlled by vehicle gates and chain link fencing. In addition to the pumping plant, a Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL) storage building will be constructed on site. This will be a concrete masonry unit building with a slab foundation. Additional construction features of the project include an earthen cofferdam, construction and operation of a dewatering system, and development of on-site borrow and disposal areas. Utilities will be run parallel to and approximately 80 feet southeast of the pump station access road. Utilities include electrical power, natural gas, and potable water.
