- THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION, INVITATION FOR BID, REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) OR A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY. �THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR ACQUISITION PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE A SOLICITATION OR ULTIMATELY AWARD A CONTRACT. �ANY COST INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT SHALL BE BORNE BY THE INTERESTED PARTY (PROSPECTIVE OFFEROR) AND WILL NOT BE CHARGED TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR REIMBURSEMENT. �RESPONDENTS WILL NOT BE NOTIFIED OF THE RESULTS OF ANY GOVERNMENT ASSESSMENTS. PURPOSE: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District is conducting this Sources Sought in support of Market Research to notify and seek potential qualified members of industry to gain knowledge of capabilities, interest, and qualification; to include the Small Business Community for completing the work effort relative to archaeological investigations for proposed disposal areas associated with Yellow Creek Bypass Channel Clearing, Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky. Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the government in making appropriate acquisition decisions. �The type of solicitation to be issued will depend upon the responses to this sources sought synopsis. �The Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of responsive contractors. �The type of set-aside decision to be issued will depend upon the responses to this sources sought. NO SOLICITATION EXISTS AT THIS TIME. SCOPE OF WORK (SUBJECT TO CHANGE): The Corps of Engineers has need of a single fixed price service contract. The Nashville District, plans to clear sediment, debris, and vegetation from the Yellow Creek Bypass Channel, Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky. �The proposed project is expected to generate approximately 63,000 cubic yards (cy) of material from an approximate 6,300 linear foot section of the channel. �Vegetation from the operations would be transported to a processing site to include chipping or burning. �Sediment would be temporarily stored on nearby lot and ultimately moved to the Apollo Mine to support a mine reclamation project. � The Corps requires assessment of the two temporary use areas where sediment will be temporarily stored and vegetation would be burned. �Given the temporary nature of the use areas, the proposed project would not introduce visual effects. �Investigations are required to identify the presence of archaeological sites within the project areas. Information from the report will be used by the Corps to complete its obligations under Sections 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (54 U.S.C. 306108). The Corps previously consulted under 36 CFR 800 on the proposed work within the stream channel and use of the Apollo Mine site for the final disposal of the dredge material.� The proposed project involves the removal of up to 63,000 cubic yards material from the Yellow Creek Bypass Channel. �The Yellow Creek Bypass Channel was constructed in 1939 to direct flood waters from Yellow Creek and around Middlesboro. �The Yellow Creek Bypass Channel requires periodic dredging to maintain operations. �Prior dredging projects occurred in 1968, 1977, 1979, 1981, and 2008. �The dredge spoil has been placed on various government and private parcels in the past (Figure 2). �However, the documentation related to prior disposal sites has not been well recorded. Anecdotal information suggests portions of the two proposed temporary use sites have been used for dredge disposal in the past. �The Corps requires verification of the prior use of proposed disposal areas, delineation of undisturbed areas within the proposed disposal areas, and identification of archaeological sites within the proposed temporary use areas. Official Solicitation is anticipated to be issued on or about 4 August 2020.� Results of this sources-sought announcement will be used, in part, to determine the size and make-up of the industrial base for this type of service and the feasibility of a small business or socio-economic set aside for this project. � All qualified contractors are encouraged to respond; lack of responses may jeopardize the project being set aside for small business.
