The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District intends to issue a solicitation using the Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) method, also known as the Construction Manager at Risk method for preconstruction services and optional construction services to construct the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway West Closure Complex (GIWW WCC).
This project will be located on the west bank of the Mississippi River near New Orleans, Louisiana in the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway just west of the Algiers and Harvey canals. This project will function as a major component of the Greater New Orleans Hurricane Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS).
Preliminary estimates show the project will cost more than $500 million to design and construct a navigable floodgate or floodgates with a total opening of between 300 and 335 |
ft, a 20,000 cubic feet per second pumping station containing 16 large mixed-flow vertical pumps, an earthen levee, concrete T-wall and flow control structure in an environmentally sensitive location. The entire complex will be constructed without closure of the navigation channel and with an aggressive intermediate target completion date for the surge barrier of June 2011. The final construction effort shall be completed by 2013.
