PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Sacramento District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has an upcoming acquisition to establish contracts to construct cutoff walls using the jet grout method along the waterside slope of the levee in Sacramento, California. Site R3A is located on the right bank of the American River at the Capitol City Freeway Bridge. The gap in the cutoff wall extends approximately 302 feet. The Capitol City Freeway crosses the levee in the north-south direction through the middle of the gap. Using jet grouting, the soil cement cutoff walls will be extended toward the Capitol City Freeway but not completely across the Freeway. The cutoff wall would be installed to within 10 feet of the edge of both sides of Capitol City Freeway...approximately 67 feet on the upstream side of the freeway and approximately 78 feet on the downstream side. Extending the cutoff wall from the existing limits to within 10 feet of the edge of pavement would capture seepage in this area. Site L10 is located on the left/south bank of the American River at Howe Avenue. A soil-cement cutoff wall will be installed under the Howe Avenue Bridge on/near existing bike trail on the waterside of the levee. The new cutoff wall will be installed using jet grouting and will pass under the bridge, then ascend the levee on both sides of the bridge to a terminal point with the existing cutoff. A low permeability soil blanket will be installed on the waterside slope and connecting with the new cutoff wall. Finally, the existing riprap slope protection will be removed and replaced after construction on the waterside slope under the bridges to prevent erosion. An approximately 175-foot section of the existing levee upstream of Howe Avenue will be raised in place to provide required flood protection. The Contractor shall use a triple-fluid jet grouting system for constructing cutoff walls at both sites. The Contractor shall also be able to jet grout around existing utilities, to be protected in place. Small businesses are reminded under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines 52.219-14, the concern will perform at least 15% of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees.
