The total quantity of clay material needed is approximately 7,000,000 to 9,000,000 cubic yards. The construction contracts are currently scheduled to be awarded from the 4th quarter of 2020 through the 4th quarter of 2021. Construction for the WSLP project is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2023. If all documents described in Appendix A are provided, deemed to be acceptable, meet the requirements set by the Government, and meet all specified criteria, the contractor will be approved as a potential commercial borrow source for use by the WSLP project. Once the Sources Sought submittal period is over, all submittals meeting this criteria will be used to generate a list of pre-qualified commercial borrow sources. This list of pre-qualified commercial borrow sources could potentially be included in future levee construction solicitations for the WSLP project from which bidders are free to make selections. Inclusion on the pre-qualified commercial borrow sources list is not a guarantee of work as a subcontractor or source of material. Rather, it could qualify the clay borrow source to be considered by the bidder as a subcontractor or source of material.
