- Description
- This Synopsis/Pre-Solicitation Notice is ONLY A NOTIFICATION that a solicitation is anticipated and forthcoming. All questions regarding this Synopsis/Pre-Solicitation should be submitted in writing to the Point of Contact(s) indicated below. OVERVIEW: The purpose of this ecosystem restoration project is to address degraded floodplain connectivity and degraded wetland and channel habitat for species of concern, including fish, amphibians and migrating birds, related to past federal action (i.e. construction of the two upstream federal levees, Yakima Authorized Left Bank and Yakima Authorized Right Bank). The proposed project would restore wetland functions and riparian habitat and would improve Essential Fish Habitat for coho and Chinook salmon, as designated by the National Marine Fisheries Services in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The work will implement the highest-ranked projects in the Upper Yakima Comprehensive Flood Hazard Management Plan and complete elements of the Yakima County Comprehensive Plan.�� The project also implements high priority actions in the Yakima Basin Steelhead Recovery Plan and the Yakima Subbasin plan.� Restoration of floodplain reaches in the Yakima Basin is the centerpiece of the Habitat Element of the Yakima Basin Integrated Plan, with this project being the highest priority in the Basin due to its effect on overall basin salmon productivity and population diversity. Work includes excavation of channels, removal of existing levees, construction of embankments (berms and levees), installation of drainage culverts, installation of an automated headgate, and other features indicated on the drawings, including hauling and processing of on-site borrow materials and trees. The work is divided into three construction phases, to allow for federal and non-federal funding to be received on an annual basis.� The three phases are the Base Contract, Option #1, and Option #2.� The base contract work area is west and south of the Yakima Sportsman State Park and is intersected by SR24 and the Yakima Authorized Left Bank Federal Levee and consists of removal of existing riprap spur dikes from the Left Bank Federal Levee, excavation of side channels, installation of large woody debris structures, and disposal of excavated materials in the Newland Ponds. Option #1 is the removal of an existing levee (KOA Levee), disposal of excavated materials in the Newland Ponds, and design and installation of a new headgate at the Blue Slough culvert within the existing Yakima Left Bank Federal Levee and will include the reconfiguration of two portions of Blue Slough to allow for year-round water in the side channel and to accommodate a new levee.� Option #2 is located south of the Base Contract work area near SR 24, and bounded by two existing levees which will be removed and replaced by constructing a new levee further from the river (i.e. �set back�). Former active gravel pits (Newland Ponds) are within the project footprint. These pits will be partially filled with excavated materials and side channels will be excavated to connect the ponds to the Yakima River. �The Central Premix aggregate sorting and processing facility is located within the project footprint. The following are the principal items to be accomplished with the Base contract and two Options: Mobilization Channel Stabilization & Armoring (removal of three rock groins, armoring of the levee, channel construction, onsite harvest and placement of large woody debris, and riparian plantings) Care & Diversion of Water (including culvert replacement and diversion of water to work in the dry and/or prevent excessive turbidity releases to the Yakima River) Storm Drainage Utilities (including removal of existing structure plus the design, procurement, and installation of the Blue Slough reinforced concrete headwall and automatic slide gate) Construction Staging, Site Access, and Haul Routes Earthwork (including creation of side channels plus mass excavation, fill, and grading (levees)) Work in an Environmentally Sensitive Area The magnitude of construction for the Base Contract plus Option1 and Option 2 is estimated to be $17,977,000. The resulting contract will be firm-fixed-price. Solicitation number W912DW22B0014 will be posted to the www.sam.gov website on or about the week of 3 October 2022 .
