Description

NA This is a modification to the original Pre-Solicitation Notice. The due date for receipt of written responses to this RFI is hereby changed, in the body of this description, from January 7, 2002 to January 16, 2002. The Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers in concert with the South Florida Water Management District are planning future procurements to install seepage barriers and water storage facilities in support of the Comprehensive Everglades Res toration Plan (CERP) in the Miami-Dade County area. Please note that the Government is currently in the planning stages of this procurement and have not developed final plans and specifications. Work for these projects will consist of (1) taking existing water storage facilities and converting them into in-ground water storage areas and (2) substantially reducing the seepage from the Everglades National Park into the eastern drainage canals. In order to assist us in determining the proper means and metho ds for this work, this Request for Information (RFI) seeks industry input on installation methods, previously tried and proven, on potential seepage barriers (e.g., slurry wall, HDPE, etc) for use in highly transmissive portions of the Surficial Aquifer Sy stem (SAS) in Miami-Dade County. Of particular interest are the means and methods previously used by industry to install seepage barriers ranging in depth from 50 to 250 feet below land surface (bls), methods that could be used to test subsurface flow bar rier technology during a field test, and alternative methods that could be used to line or isolate the 80 foot deep pits (in addition to vertical walls). The RFI request that the respondent (industry) only submit recommendations concerning means and meth ods that allow performance of work in an environmentally acceptable and economically feasible manner. Since the information submitted in response to the RFI may be used in the Government?s specifications and made available to all competitors, DO NOT SUBMI T PROPRIETARY OR BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. However, if you believe that, given the opportunity, you could propose an acceptable alternative in response to a Request for Proposals that permitted alternative methods, please let us know. Keep in mi nd that, depending on the alternative, the Government may have to investigate and confirm acceptability, therefore, in your response please include an estimate (if possible) of the time required for such investigation and confirmation. For a detailed desc ription of the projects and work that the Corps of Engineers will be seeking to contract and a description of the existing conditions surrounding the Miami-Dade locale, including additional geological information in the project area, please access our webs ite at http://ebs1/ebs/AdvertisedSolicitations.asp and go to the description entitled Lake Belt In-Ground Reservoir Technology Pilot Project and L-31 North Seepage Management. We are currently looking at two separate pilot projects. The pilot project for the water storage facility (Lake Belt In-Ground Reservoir Technology Pilot Project) will include the construction and testing of a selected seepage barrier (to be located around an existing mining pit) and field testing of several barriers at various dep ths. Current plans for this pilot project include the installation of several thousand lineal feet of seepage barriers and is scheduled to be constructed by year 2009. The pilot project for the seepage control along the L-31N will include the testing of a selected seepage barrier or barriers. Current plans for this pilot project require the installation of several thousand lineal feet of seepage barrier and are scheduled to be constructed by 2005. The Government seeks industry input on installation meth ods that companies have successfully constructed in conditions similar to the conditions found in South Florida. Specific information of interest includes description of seepage barrier, examples of successful application, expected life span, construction feasibility, and risk analysis, blasting resistance, cost factors and production rates. Please mail or fax your written responses to this RFI to the following address no later than January 16, 2002: (FAX NUMBER 904-232-2748), USAED Jacksonville District, ATTN: CESAJ-CT-C (Cynthia S. Jones), 400 West Bay Street, Jacksonville, Florida 32202-4412. Responses can also be submitted electronically to Cynthia.S.Jones@usace.army.mil.
