This project is to remove and replace unserviceable or damaged culverts within the different levees of the Jackson Project Levees. Culverts to be removed are composed of corrugated metal pipe (CMP). Culverts to be installed in place of the deficient culverts will consist of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe or CMP. At two locations, the contractor will be required to install new concrete headwalls, either prefabricated or cast-in-place. At other locations, the contractor will use the existing headwall by grouting the new pipe into the existing headwall. The project levees are located in Teton County, Wyoming, near the town of Jackson. The project consists of 28 levees (33 miles total), 48 levee access roads, and 5 riprap stockpile sites. The contractor selected to perform this work will be required to perform work to include: -Excavate, remove, and dispose of existing CMP culverts. -Load and transport government furnished riprap to worksites from Project Stockpiles. Rock weighs up to 3000 pounds. -Install new HDPE or CMP culverts at a specified invert elevation. Compact graded fill around the new culvert to ensure integrity of the culvert for the passage of water. -Place levee fill material in lifts to return the levee to original grades and dimensions. Compact levee fill to specification standards with compaction equipment. -Install prefabricated concrete headwall(s) approved by the Government as required to ensure the culvert invert elevation meets contract requirements. Alternatively, the contractor may construct cast-in-place headwalls per contract design. -Unwater construction sites as necessary to ensure compliance with clean water standards and ability to achieve design compaction requirements. -Grout headwalls as needed at culvert penetrations to ensure levee integrity during high river flow conditions. At locations where culverts are to be permanently removed, seal holes in headwalls left by the removed culvert with concrete supported by structural steel. -Remove, repair as needed, and reinstall lift gates attached to concrete headwalls. These lift gates are used to control flow through the culvert(s). Some of the work will be performed in the water by excavators. In these locations where the river is immediately adjacent to the levee, only the bucket of the excavator will enter the water. Waters of this region of the Snake River routinely exceed 10 feet/second in velocity. This project must be completed by 15 November of a typical year, due to the onset of winter and hence the necessity for the contractor to shut down.
