Mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) North Jetty Repair Project Phase 2view on SAM.gov

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) Portland District intends to solicit construction firms who are interested in submitting a competitive firm-fixed-price proposal for this project. This PRESOLICITATION announcement is for the Mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) North Jetty Repair Project Phase 2. Project Details and Background. The MCR federal navigation project is situated at the border between Washington and Oregon, where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. Deep-draft navigation through the MCR is facilitated by three primary navigation structures—North Jetty, South Jetty, and Jetty A—with a combined authorized length of 10.2 miles. The North Jetty has an authorized length of 2.5 miles extending to Station 130+00; however, it has not been constructed to its full authorized length. The initial construction of the North Jetty concluded at approximately Station 122+00, resulting in a constructed length of approximately 2.3 miles. This jetty was the second of the three to be constructed and was completed in 1917. Subsequent repairs and rehabilitations along various sections of the North Jetty were carried out in 1939, 1965, 2005, 2015, and 2019. Both initial construction and repairs utilized stone with a minimum density ranging from 167 to 180 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). The side slopes of the jetty vary between 1:1.25 and 1:2 (vertical: horizontal), with an average crest elevation of 25 ft msl. Since construction, a total of 3,569,030 tons of armor stone have been placed. Project Scope. The Mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) North Jetty is located at the southwest corner of Washington State near Ilwaco, WA. Access to the North Jetty is via US Highway 101, N Head Rd, Fort Canby Road, Jetty Road through Cape Disappointment State Park. Mandatory work for MCR North Jetty Major Maintenance – Phase II includes toe, side slope, and crest repair and reconstruction primarily above 0 feet NAVD88 elevation along approximately 2,300 feet of the jetty trunk on both the ocean and channel side. These sections will be repaired and reconstructed to a design crest width of 30 feet (with a crest transition to 40 feet at the oceanward end of the reach), side slopes of 1V:1.5H (with a side slope transition to 1V:2H at the oceanward end of the reach) and a crest elevation of +25 feet NAVD88. The estimated stone volume required for the repairs is approximately 17,000 cubic yards with an approximate minimum stone densities of 175 to 180 pounds per cubic foot. Expected stone size is between 15-40 tons each, with varying gradations along the reach. A jetty crest haul road on top of the jetty must be constructed and staging area developed to store the large quantity of jetty armor stone. Stone production and delivery via land-based methods to the north jetty site and stone placement are expected to occur in calendar year 2027, and potentially 2028, if necessary. Major Maintenance will primarily be completed by two methods, 1) standard repair, which requires r…
