SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE FOR REPAIR OF THE CONCRETE GROIN DITCHES AT B. EVERETT JORDAN LAKE, MONCURE, NC This is a Sources Sought/Request for Information only. This is NOT a Solicitation Announcement, nor is it a Request for Proposal. This request does not obligate the Government in any contract award. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, is conducting research to determine the market capabilities of potential contractors to perform repairs of the concrete groin ditches consist of filling in the voids underneath and around the concrete groins with Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM), repairing cracks and pot holes in the ditches with either CLSM or an approved mortar mix, and sealing the joints with an approved flexible joint sealant. Per the American Concrete Institute (ACI), Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM), sometimes referred to as flowable fill, is a self-compacted, non-shrink, cementitious material that is used as backfill in lieu of a compacted fill. Description of Work: The concrete groin repairs consist of filling in voids with CLSM, sealing/filling in cracks and potholes with CLSM or approved mortar mix, and sealing the joints of the groin with an approved flexible joint sealant. The voids shall be grouted to the ground surface. Voids underneath, adjacent or in the groins should be grouted with CLSM. Voids within 4 feet of the perimeter of the groin shall be filled in with CLSM as well. If the natural ground adjacent to the voids is disturbed, it should be repaired and regraded so that the surface water will flow into the concrete ditches. Any ruts or damaged grass should be sodded to match the existing grass type at no additional cost to the government. The CLSM mixture should consist of type II Portland Cement, fly ash, fine aggregate, fly ash, and water. Prior to placement, the flowable fill mix design shall be sent to the COR for approval. Fly ash content should be less than 15% of the total mixture. The flowable fill will most likely need to be pumped underneath the concrete groins. The strength of the flowable fill should range from 30 psi to 300 psi. The method for placing the CLSM, including maximum pumping pressure or flow rate, shall be submitted to the COR for approval. The contractor should monitor and record the estimated amount of CLSM that was used to fill the voids underneath the groins to confirm that all the voids underneath the groins have been filled. In order to repair the concrete groins, overgrown brush, trees, logs, and debris on and within four feet of the concrete groins should be removed so that the contractor can identify all the voids around and in the concrete groins Herbaceous vegetation (alive or dead) on the ditch or in joints must be removed, Herbaceous vegetation should only be disturbed along the ditch edges to the extent needed to identify and make repairs so as not to increase erosion. A majority of the debris will be removed at the upstream right and the upstream left concrete groins. The contractor will be responsible for disposing the overgrown brush, trees, logs, and debris at an onsite location designated by the COR. The magnitude of construction for this project will be less than $25,000.00.
