Santa Ana River Mainstem - Reach 9 Phase 5b, Orange County, California   2

Solicitaiton changed to IFB, SEE - Solicitation number: W912PL-16-B-0005
1. Contract Information: This Construction Services Contract provides the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Los Angeles District with the capability to execute Construction services consisting of improvements to an existing 2.4-mile section of the north bank of the Santa Ana River Channel for the LDY-S (Lomas De Yorba-Sur -Levee), City of Yorba Linda, CA. Work includes clearing and grubbing, excavation, compacted fill and compacted backfill, grading, salvage of existing stone revetment, replacement of the ungrouted stone bank with the 24 inch grouted stone bank and protection of an existing Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI) sewer line and manholes. In addition to the 24-inch grouted stone and SARI sewer line and manhole protection, the project also calls for bikeway detour, construction of the access ramps, extension of multiple interior RCP (reinforced concrete pipe) side drains, construction of an AC (asphalt concrete) bikeway, a DG (decomposed granite) riding/hiking trail, and an ABC (aggregate base course) operation and maintenance road, concrete curbs, and cable fencing. Construction and installation of surface drainage and sub-drain systems are also included for the project. The Santa Ana River Mainstem, Lower Santa Ana River Channel, Reach 9-Phase 5B is located in Orange County, California. The contract is anticipated to be awarded as a 1,040 day period of performance, for a total period of two (2) years and 10 months.
2. Project Information: The Lower Santa Ana River (LSAR) channel below Prado Dam is approximately 30.5 miles in length and consists of partially armored channel banks and bottoms from the Prado Dam to the Pacific Ocean. Reach 9 comprises the initial 7.6 miles of the LSAR channel directly downstream of the Prado Dam outlet channel. Reach 9 is a critical segment of the LSAR because of its location immediately downstream of the Prado Dam outlet channel. The ability of Prado Dam to make its maximum design release of 30,000 cfs is contingent upon completion of Reach 9 channel improvements. A release of 30,000 cfs into Reach 9 as it currently exists could cause bank erosion and scour conditions that potentially undermine the structural stability of adjacent infrastructure along the Reach 9 channel, including the Riverside Freeway (State Route 91), BNSF Railway, and the residents, businesses, and major utilities located in the cities of Yorba Linda, Anaheim, and Anaheim Hills, CA which are adjacent the LSAR.
