The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District (W075 ENDIST LOS ANGELES), is conducting a market survey through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified contractors for the anticipated repair and enhancement of the Santa Margarita River (SMR) Levee System at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Camp Pendleton, located in San Diego County, California. This notice, issued under procurement identifier W912PL26S0005, is strictly for information gathering and preliminary planning; it does not constitute a solicitation or a commitment to award a contract. Purpose and Scope: The primary objective of this procurement is to address critical erosion and scour protection needs for the SMR Levee System, which safeguards vital military infrastructure and operations at MCAS Camp Pendleton. The levee system, originally constructed in response to severe flood events in the 1990s, now requires significant repairs and upgrades due to minimal maintenance and the encroachment of heavy vegetation. The project encompasses approximately three miles of levee, divided into West, Air Station, and East Segments, and includes key features such as a reinforced concrete floodwall and a pump station. Key Requirements and Expected Deliverables: The anticipated scope of work includes, but is not limited to: - Raising the levee profile by 2.5 to 4.5 feet in designated segments, utilizing soil cement sourced from a nearby borrow site (approximately 50,000 cubic yards of material), and constructing a stability berm at the East Levee. - Establishing an onsite soil cement batch plant. - Installing several relief wells in the Air Station Segment. - Replacing or abandoning existing toe drains and installing new drainage systems along the levee interior. - Constructing a graded gravel filter ditch at the landside of the Air Station Segment and floodwall. - Implementing scour and erosion mitigation by armoring the riverside of the levee with launch stone (36-inch diameter, 5-8 feet high). - Strengthening the existing floodwall with additional rebar and concrete. - Repairing cracks with cement grout and expandable sealant. - Building 10-12 foot wide maintenance paths and ramps for improved access. - Creating a 15-foot-wide vegetation clearance pathway and restoring vegetation in temporarily impacted areas. - Ensuring compliance with NEPA, environmental regulations, and MCAS Camp Pendleton criteria. Contractors will be expected to demonstrate experience and qualifications relevant to heavy and civil engineering construction, particularly in levee repair, erosion control, and large-scale infrastructure projects. Contracting Entity and Classification: The contracting activity is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, under the Department of Defense, Department of the Army. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with a small business size standard of $36.5 million. The Product Service Code is Y1PZ.
