The attachments to this notification are the DRAFT 65% DESIGN DRAWINGS and DRAFT 65% SPECIFICATIONS. These draft files are preliminary and still subject to change and refinement, and as such may not represent what the final design will consist of at time of solicitation (later in calendar year 2022). The Government's intent with this posting is to obtain industry input on any or all portions of the attachments to include, but not limited to, needed clarifications, ideas for best practice implementation, updated methods and technology, etc. General feedback is requested and welcome and specifically we are looking for focused feedback on the following:

Construction

• Levee raise or flood wall construction in constricted area (Stations 1032+50 to 1033+00, for example)
• Use of Secant Pile or Jet Grout cutoff wall construction methods at Westin/Scott's Seafood (Stations 1243+75 to 1245+04). This is a historic levee breach location and the levee foundation includes large diameter debris (potentially 2+ feet in diameter).
• Staging area sizing and locations

Schedule

• The levee degrade and reconstruction need to be completed outside of the flood season between 15APR23 31OCT23, with all cutoff wall completed and levee reconstructed not later than 30SEP2023.

Availability of Material/Equipment

• Identification of any material and/or equipment that may be limited/scarce/have high demand

Borrow/Disposal Sites

• Maximize competition and ensure approval to include all NEPA/CEQA/Section 106 clearance prior to 15APR23
• Possibility to use excavated riverbank material from USACE levee erosion protection project on north bank of American River around H street bridge as a borrow site.

This dialogue will allow for a more defined solicitation, should one be issued.

THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION, no proposals will be accepted, and no award will be made from this notice.
