This DRAFT is an updated version of the DRAFT Synopsis that was posted on 02 July 2024 under Notice ID DRAFT-W912EK24RBRIPAESATOC-DRAFT. DO NOT SUBMIT A SF 330 in response to this DRAFT Synopsis. The purpose of this draft is to provide updated information for industry to review prior to issuance of the offical Synopsis. All information received in response to this DRAFT Synopsis that is marked proprietary will be handled accordingly; however, no information is being requested at this time. In preparation for the formal Synopsis, please see the attached Draft Synopsis. **Project Description:** This is planned to be an Unrestricted Acquisition (No Small Business Set-Aside Status). The Brandon Road project is a federal risk management plan including a layered system of structural controls and non-structural measures to prevent to the maximum extent possible the transfer of aquatic nuisance species from the Mississippi River Basin into the Great Lakes Basin while minimizing impacts to waterway uses and users. The non-structural plan includes managing the waterway below Brandon Road as a ‘population reduction zone’ where monitoring and overfishing would occur. The structural plan includes a new control point at Brandon Road Lock and Dam in addition to the control point that is already provided by the electric dispersal barrier at Romeoville, Illinois. The new structural control point will include an engineered channel, acoustic deterrent, a bubble deterrent, an electric deterrent, and flushing lock. Performance services under this A-E SATOC will be performed solely for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project located on the Illinois Waterway at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam in Rockdale, IL. The Inland Design Center of Expertise will be leading the technical team assembled for this $1.1 billion project as estimated in March 2023, certified Total Project Cost Estimate. The total construction cost estimate is $910,000,00.00. Rock Island District, USACE,will be an integral part of the technical team managing this SATOC through the engineering, contracting, and construction phases. This Scope of Work (SOW) requires comprehensive design and support services to take the greater innovative project from current concept levels to 100 percent design products and then continue engineering support through USACE contracting and construction phases. Work will require extensive coordination within USACE (primarily Inland Navigation Design Center, Rock Island District, and Engineering Research and Development Center – various laboratories) as well as regular coordination with a large group of external entities to include but not limited to: the local sponsor; navigation; USCG; construction firms; and other federal agencies. **DISCLAIMER:** THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR SF 330. THIS IS A DRAFT SYNOPSIS ONLY. THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION FOR INUDSTRY TO REVIEW PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF THE OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS. This announcement is not a Synopsis, request for SF 330, promise to issue any future contract, forum to discuss upcoming work, nor commitment to offer work of any kind on the part of the Government.
