The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Sacramento District (SPK), has issued a Sources Sought Notice (Procurement Identifier: W9123826S0015) to conduct market research and assess the availability and capabilities of small business firms for a forthcoming design-bid-build (DBB) construction project. This initiative, titled "LAR C3B South," is part of the ongoing American River Common Features (ARCF) erosion reduction efforts along the Lower American River (LAR) in Sacramento, California. The primary objective is to implement erosion control and levee strengthening measures along approximately 1.5 miles of the river’s south bank, specifically from Watt Avenue upstream to near Mayhew Drain.
The anticipated scope of work encompasses a comprehensive suite of riverbank and levee protection activities. Key tasks include the construction of launchable rock toe and trench features, bank protection, and tie backs; excavation, placement, and regrading of riverbank and levee embankment materials; installation of soil-filled rock slope protection on the waterside levee face and riverbank; and the creation of river toe protection and planting bench features. Additional elements involve the placement of instream wood structures on planting benches, construction of buried launchable trench features in the overbank, integration of new erosion protection with existing rock revetment, temporary erosion control for disturbed areas, and the import and placement of riprap. It is anticipated that vegetation clearing will be managed under a separate government contract prior to the commencement of erosion protection work.
The project is expected to be fully designed prior to solicitation, with an estimated construction duration of 760 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The work is projected to be completed between late spring and fall of 2027 and 2028, with in-water activities restricted to the period from July through October to accommodate environmental and regulatory requirements.
The estimated contract value is between $45,000,000 and $60,000,000. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with a small business size standard of $45.5 million in annual revenue. The Product Service Code (PSC) is Y1PZ, denoting construction of other non-building facilities. The place of performance is Sacramento, California.
This notice is strictly for market research and planning purposes; it does not constitute a solicitation, nor will any contract be awarded based on responses to this notice. The information gathered will inform the government’s acquisition strategy, including the potential for a small business set-aside. Should at least two responsible small business concerns be identified as capable of performing the work at fair market prices, the acquisition may be set aside for small businesses. In such a case, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.219-14 will apply, requiring small business prime contractors to self-perform at least 25% of the contract value, excluding materials.
Interested contractors are invited to submit capability statements, limited to 14 pages, detailing their experience with projects of similar magnitude and complexity (including at least three relevant examples from the past six years), business size and socioeconomic status, bonding capacity (supported by a surety letter), and workforce composition (union or non-union). Additionally, respondents are asked to complete a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) survey, as federal policy generally requires PLAs for large-scale construction projects unless exempted.
All responses and inquiries should be directed to the Contract Specialist, Henry Barron, via email at [email protected], referencing the Sources Sought Notice number W9123826S0015 in the subject line. The deadline for submission is 8:00 A.M. Pacific Time on Monday, April 27, 2026.
This opportunity is managed by the USACE Sacramento District (W075 ENDIST SACRAMENTO), under the Department of the Army, Department of Defense. Further details, including draft plans and specifications, are available as attachments to the notice on SAM.gov (Opportunity ID: f822c1ee40d64d8c811d96c122f2b824).
Contractors with relevant heavy civil construction experience, sufficient bonding capacity, and the ability to manage complex riverine and levee protection projects are encouraged to review the notice and consider submitting a capability statement to inform the government’s acquisition planning.
