The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Seattle District anticipates award of a Firm-Fixed Price contract resulting from RFP W912DW24R0010. This requirement is to construct the Wyckoff Debris Removal and Wall Replacement at Bainbridge Island, Washington state.

In accordance with Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 236.204, the estimated magnitude of construction is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. 100 percent (%) payment and performance bonds will be required.

Please note in compliance with Executive Order 14063, the Project Labor Agreement Provision 52.222.23 and Clause 52.222.34 will be included in the solicitation. See FAR Subpart 22.5 Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction projects for more details.

Project Description: Seattle District USACE has a requirement from the EPA to replace a failing sheet pile wall at a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) superfund remedial site on the National Priorities List (NPL) located on Bainbridge Island, Washington.

The major components of the wall replacement include a subsurface reinforced soil-mix wall (about 40 ft. deep) installed using the cutter soil mix (CSM) method; ground improvements (up to 80 ft. below ground surface) using In-Situ Soil Stabilization (ISS) to improve wall stability and reduce loads on the CSM wall or sheet pile wall; and an upper, un-coupled, precast wall along the entire site perimeter (1400 ft.). Installation of this replacement wall will require removal of subsurface debris such as old bulkheads, riprap, foundations, and backfill material in the areas to be disturbed. The new CSM wall and debris removal to facilitate the wall and ISS improvement is adjacent to a cantilever sheet pile wall that is in moderate to poor condition, the sheet pile wall is retaining contaminated soils and must remain competent with minimal movement until the CSM wall is in place.

Historically Wyckoff was a wood treatment facility. Over this period of operation, the soil and groundwater at Wyckoff became severely contaminated with creosote products, pentachlorophenol (PCP), and diesel which was used as a carrier fluid for PCP based wood treating oils. Creosote and diesel fuel remnants can be found as Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPL) in soil and sediment at the site. Site will require 40-hour HAZWOPER certification and has potential PPE requirements including respirators based on NAPL release within the debris removal and ISS sections.
