The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District is preparing to solicit bids for a design–bid–build construction project aimed at erosion control and levee strengthening along the North and South banks of the Lower American River in Sacramento, California. The scope encompasses two distinct sites, with the intention of awarding two separate contracts—one for the North bank and another for the South bank.

This construction effort seeks to enhance flood protection and prevent further erosion in this critical area. Draft instructions, specifications, and plans have been made available to industry partners to facilitate feedback and allow additional preparation time before the formal solicitation is released. It should be noted that the current timing of the solicitation has been impacted by a court injunction related to tree removal and the replanting of elderberries along the river.

Interested bidders are encouraged to review the attached draft documents and provide feedback as outlined in the Instructions to Bidders. The final solicitation will incorporate updates and may include changes based on industry input. The anticipated solicitation number for this opportunity is W9123826BA003.
