Hanson (HAHD), Additional Water Storage Project (AWSP), Fish Passage Facility (FPF)The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Seattle District, has been tasked to solicit and award a construction contract for the HAHD AWSP FPF Project. The proposed project will be a competitive, fixed price, Integrated Design and Construction (IDaC), contract procured in accordance with FAR 15, Negotiated Procurement using the Best Value Tradeoff process.Project Details:The project scope of work consists of construction of a downstream FPF at HAHD. The dam provides flood risk reduction in the winter and municipal and environmental water supplies in the summer. The

reservoir water level is low in the winter and high in the summer, except for flood control. The proposed FPF site is located adjacent to the existing control tower and regulating outlet for HAHD. The facility consists of a fixed multiport collector, steep slope bypass, deceleration tunnel, and outfall stilling basin structures. The main facility is approximately 220 feet long by 40 feet wide by 200 feet tall (about 140 feet is buried). The project is on an accelerated time frame for construction completion.The anticipated acquisition strategy is to utilize the Integrated Design and Construction (IDaC) delivery method and selection process."Integrated Design and Construction" means the construction contract type where design and construction are contracted concurrently through two efforts. Specific to this project, the design (i.e., architect-engineer) will be performed in-house (i.e., by the Government), and an award will be made to a construction contractor. The proposed strategy permits an award of the construction contract early on in the project's development through a competitive process. This early construction contractor involvement enables the selected construction contractor to provide constructability and cost input to the Designer of Record as the design progresses. In accordance with DFARS 236.204, the magnitude of construction is estimated to be over $500,000,000. The resulting contract will be fixed price with economic price adjustment.See the solicitation for details about offer submission.
