Site work and new construction of a military facility in Enumclaw, Washington. Working plans call for the construction of a military facility; and for site work for a military facility.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwestern Division - Seattle District (NWS) is hosting a Virtual Industry Day on 12 June 2023 to provide additional information and gain feedback from industry on an upcoming requirement for the large civil works project for the design-construction of a Fish Passage Facility (FPF) located at Howard A. Hanson Dam (HAHD) on the Green River, Washington. The event will allow prime contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to learn about this upcoming construction project. The event aims to seek industry input regarding best practices and examples of past success on similar projects. The three-hour event will include presenting the project history, a summary of major work features, constraints and challenges, and project delivery methods. A live question and answer session with USACE personnel will immediately follow the presentation. The Government anticipates this procurement to be solicited as a competitive fixed-price type contract. In addition, the anticipated acquisition strategy is to utilize the Integrated Design and Construction (IDaC) selection process. "Integrated Design and Construction" means the construction contract type where design and construction are contracted concurrently through two efforts. Specific to this project, the design (i.e., architect-engineer) will be performed in-house (i.e., by the Government), and an award will be made to a construction contractor. The proposed strategy permits an award of the construction contract early in the project's development through a competitive process. This early construction contractor involvement enables the selected construction contractor to provide constructability and cost input to the Designer of Record as the design progresses, simultaneously performing. The Government is seeking industry feedback on the IDaC strategy (e.g., past/present experience and/or similar commercial practice)! SUMMARY OF PROJECT SCOPE: The project scope of work consists of construction of a downstream FPF at HAHD. The dam provides flood risk reduction in the winter and municipal and environmental water supplies in the summer. The reservoir water level is low in the winter and high in the summer, except for flood control. The proposed FPF site is located adjacent to the existing control tower and regulating outlet for HAHD. The facility consists of a fixed multiport collector, steep slope bypass, deceleration tunnel, and outfall stilling basin structures. The main facility is approximately 220 feet long by 40 feet wide by 200 feet tall (about 140 feet is buried). The project is on an accelerated time frame for construction completion. The construction of this project will have constraints which include but are not limited to: Seasonal work windows, blasting requirements, monitoring and construction work taking place alongside an active Hydroelectric dam while the dam continues to operate normally. Construction of the fish passage will be required to be in coordination with the terms of the Biological Opinion which can be found at https://ecos.fws.gov/tails/pub/document/9799287. ATTENDING THE INDUSTRY DAY IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL PROSPECTIVE VENDORS. The industry day is open to the vendor community of prime contractors and significant subcontractors. The Virtual Industry Day Event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. June 12, 2023, Pacific Time via Zoom.
