This announcement seeks information from industry and will only be used for preliminary planning purposes. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT SHALL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. The Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking interest from prospective bidders for a potential fiscal year (FY) 2021 award of the aforementioned project. The purpose of this synopsis is to gauge knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of various members of the Construction Community, to include Small Businesses, as the Government must ensure there is adequate competition amongst the potential pool of responsible contractors. The proposed project will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract. The Jacksonville District anticipates the issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP). No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to said synopsis or any follow-up information requested. Description of the Project The work includes construction of an approximately 1,300-ft long, 84-in diameter sag culvert passing under the C-24 canal connecting on one end to a future planned reservoir and on the other end to a stormwater treatment area (STA). The sag culvert will be constructed out of HDPE pipe. The section below the planned reservoir embankment will be encased with cast-in-place concrete to meet dam safety requirements per EM 1110-2-2902. The barrel invert elevations are as follows: Reservoir Side (West of C-24 Canal) 15.00-ft-NAVD88, Under C-24 Canal -2.50-ft-NAVD88, and STA Side (East of C-24 Canal) 15.00-ft-NAVD88. The work also includes excavation for foundation, foundation preparation and construction, backfill to pre-existing ground, placement of stone protection, placement of headwalls, gates, buildings, and installation of all power and control equipment for the sag culvert. Specific Project Challenges: The method and sequence of construction for the sag culvert under the existing C-24 canal (barrel invert elevation at -2.50-ft-NAVD88). The C-24 canal must remain operable throughout construction. Existing Florida Power & Light (FPL) service towers are approximately 100-ft from the sag culvert centerline on the STA side (east of the C-24 canal). Experienced personnel will be required to avoid this existing infrastructure. In addition, vehicle traffic access must be maintained for FPL to access the project site and existing infrastructure during construction. The contractor shall provide means and methods/plan for the ongoing maintenance of the 1,300 foot long sag culvert during emergency and non-emergency conditions after construction. Maintenance includes how inspections will be performed (e.g., dewatering, entry/walkthrough methods, remote methods, etc.), how sediment and debris will be removed (e.g., pipeline pigging), and how repairs and future major rehabilitation will be performed, etc. The contractor must be able to provide as-builts of the finished work acceptable to the Government. The solicitation will be issued on or about July 2021 and proposals will be due on or about August 2021. The official Synopsis citing the solicitation number will be issued on the Beta.SAM Contracting Opportunities Website: https://beta.sam.gov. In accordance with (IAW) DFARS 236.204, the estimated magnitude of construction is between $25,000,000.00 and $100,000,000.00. The estimated period of performance is 1,460 calendar days after Notice to Proceed excluding final establishment of vegetation. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 237990 and the Small Business Size Standard is $39.5 million.
