USACE SPK DBB Construction - LAR C3B South - Sacramento, CA

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District (USACE‑SPK) is seeking market input for a future design‑bid‑build contract to provide erosion‑control and levee‑strengthening construction along the south bank of the Lower American River (LAR) in Sacramento, California. The effort will continue the American River Common Features (ARCF) erosion‑reduction program previously performed under contract W9123824C0014 (LAR Contract 3 A). The anticipated award is around January 2027, with a target price of $45 million to $60 million and a NAICS code of 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction). The requirement includes comprehensive pre‑construction submittals (schedules, insurance certificates, surety bonds, subcontractor and product lists, baseline network analysis, work plan, QC plan, environmental protection plan) and shop drawings, all to be prepared in accordance with the latest USACE EM 385‑1‑1 and any applicable federal, state, or local regulations (most stringent provisions govern). A qualified Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) must meet EM 385‑1‑1 training and experience standards, and the contractor must submit a concise Plan of Operations with the Vibration and Deformation Control (VDC) Plan, using citations where text is unchanged and providing context where interpretation is added. The initial project schedule must be approved within 45 calendar days of notice‑to‑proceed and updated at least monthly; failure to submit required reports may result in a retention of up to 10 % of progress payments. Variations must be formally proposed in writing with supporting analysis and cost‑benefit justification. The notice also requests feedback on Project Labor Agreements (PLAs), highlighting concerns about PLA inflexibility, administrative burden, and barriers to smaller contractors. Responses will be used for acquisition strategy development; no solicitation will be issued at this time.
