    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is seeking qualified firms for a design-build project to establish an automated casting facility at Richardson Landing, Tennessee, aimed at mass-producing articulated concrete mattress (ACM) squares. The facility is required to produce a minimum of 50,000 squares annually, with the potential to scale up to 150,000, all while adhering to government specifications that mandate a compressive strength of 3,000 psi at 28 days. This modernization effort is crucial as the current ACM casting process relies heavily on manual labor, necessitating improvements in quality, efficiency, and safety, while reducing workforce requirements. Interested firms must submit a capabilities package by 12:00 PM CST on January 5, 2025, and should direct inquiries to Candra Scott or Monica Pitchford via the provided email addresses.

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking qualified firms for a design-build project to create an automated casting facility at Richardson Landing, TN, for mass production of articulated concrete mattress (ACM) squares. The goal is to efficiently produce a minimum of 50,000 squares annually, with an aspiration for up to 150,000, following specific government specifications of a compressive strength of 3,000 psi at 28 days. The current ACM casting process relies largely on manual labor, requiring modernization to improve quality, speed, efficiency, and safety, while minimizing workforce needs. The new facility must allow for year-round production without weather-related disruptions and implement automation technologies. Key design features should include heat and steam curing to reduce cement use and emissions, a modern batching system, and greater production consistency. Firms interested in this opportunity must demonstrate relevant experience in mass concrete production, provide a detailed capabilities package, and adhere to various Department of Defense construction policies. Responses are due by January 5, 2025, with all submissions being evaluated purely for informational purposes as this is not a solicitation for proposals.
