- Description
- RECOVERY--This anticipated solicitation is a fully designed, UNRESTRICTED (full and open solicitation), for construction. The project implements fish and wildlife habitat restoration activities and construct recreational features along and within the river. This is a four-phase multi-year channel reconstruction project. The project is to be constructed in a minimum of four phases, sequentially moving from upstream to downstream. This notice is in reference to construction for the Mission Reach. Phase 2A which begins just below the San Antonio River confluence with San Pedro Creek and continues downstream 1.2 miles to just below Mission Road. This portion of the San Antonio River is currently maintained as a grass-lined, trapezoidal channel designed to convey peak storm discharges for the 100-year storm event. Care of water consideration includes provisions for diverting river baseflow in order to reconstruct the pilot channel. Base flow varies depending on spring flow and climatic conditions and has ranged from 10 cubic feet per second (CFS) to 150 CFS over the past few years. Restoration and recreation features included in Phase 2A of the project are: construction of a pilot channel, a thalwag, sheet pile weirs, rock riffle structures, embayments, slope stabilization using a reinforced soil slope system, an irrigation system, pedestrian trail, in-stream pedestrian footbridges (capable of carrying emergency equipment and becoming completely submerged during storm events), picnic tables, benches, trash receptacles, drinking fountains, and trail signage. Sustainability of the restoration is enhanced through the use of channel toe and over-bank erosion protection and establishment of approximately 52-acres of native riparian vegetation. Due to the unique restoration goal of the project, all measures taken to ensure the successful establishment of the proposed ecosystem, including invasive vegetation removal and control, sub-surface and surface soil preparation, seed handling, and seeding operations, including proper controls for non-native plant contamination of equipment, are considered critical. The project includes approximately 2,160 linear feet of 36-42 inch diameter reinforced concrete drilled piers in 3 locations along the Phase 2A reach. These piers would be installed generally at midslope to remediate long-term slope stability issues. Included as optional items will be a number of betterments mostly consisting of upgrades to recreational features. The magnitude of the construction is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000; The solicitation is anticipated to be issued on or after August 21, 2009, as a Request for Proposal (RFP) and as such there no public bid opening for this solicitation.
