Reitz & Jens was awarded Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with the St. Louis District Corps of Engineers for the base year beginning in September 1993, with the option to renew for 2 additional periods not to exceed one year each. The contract was to provide the St. Louis District with miscellaneous geotechnical and environmental engineering services on projects throughout the District on a Task Order basis.
Delivery orders included design of a temporary soldier beam and lagging earth retention system, and associated instrumentation to monitor the shoring and an adjacent structure during repair of the St. Louis floodwall; cleaning out, testing and performance evaluation of relief wells and piezometers within the Mississippi levee system; Evaluation of relief well rehabilitation techniques on the Chain of Rocks levee; Updating the Corps ER1110-2-1942 for Inspection, Monitoring and Maintenance Relief Wells; Development of procedures for evaluating relief well casing materials; Evaluation and design of underseepage relief wells for the Bois Brule levee; Evaluation and field measurement of the Alton to Gale levee system's relief well performance during the 1995 Mississippi River flood event; Development of the Corps' new geophysical exploration manual; Evaluation of the effectiveness of using Infrared thermography to detect potential weak zones in levee systems; Development and implementation of a hydraulic model to study the erodability of soils downstream of Lake Wappapello emergency spillway; and analysis of value engineering alternatives, and determination of aquifer flow characteristics for the proposed new levee alignment in Ste. Genevieve.
The St. Louis District gave Reitz & Jens an overall performance evaluation rating of excellent on this contract and unconditionally recommended Reitz & Jens for future contracts with the USACE. In addition the St. Louis District USACE awarded Reitz & Jens a certificate of appreciation specifically citing the responsiveness of our management staff and professional services rendered in support of the Geotechnical Services required under this contract.
The St. Louis District again awarded Reitz & Jens this ID/IQ Miscellaneous Geotechnical Services contract. Originally a one-year contract, beginning in July 1998, was extended through two one-year option years to June 2001.
The first Task Order was for a through- and underseepage analysis of the Lake Wappapello Federal Dam. The second was to evaluate the environmental impacts (noise and vibration) associated with drilling operations during rehabilitation of Lock & Dam on the Mississippi River. The third was for evaluation and design of the Missouri River Fish & Wildlife Mitigation Project at the Columbia Bottom Conservation Area. The Columbia Bottom project involved complete analysis and preparation of plans and specifications for creating 808 acres of managed wetlands, and setting back approximately 8,000 feet of agricultural levee on a site at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.
In 2003, the St. Louis District again selected Reitz & Jens for an ID/IQ geotechnical services contract. |
