Kansas City Levees UPRR Closure Structure

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District intends to solicit and award a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP),  Design-Bid-Build (DBB) contract for the Construction of UPRR Closure Structures in Kansas City, KS

The requirement is an Unrestricted/Full and Open competitive acquisition; both small and large businesses are eligible to respond.

The project includes construction of four (4) closure structures (two stoplog and two sandbag) located on either side of two Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR)-owned bridges crossing the Armourdale (ARM; West side of the Kansas River) and Central Industrial District (CID; East side of the Kansas River) Levee Units. The south bridge (UPRR #3) contains two sets of railroad tracks: Mainline Track No. 1 and Mainline Track No. 2. The north bridge (MOPAC) contains two sets of railroad tracks: Track No. 3 and Track No. 202. Floodwalls are to be constructed to the north and the south of the closure structures and tie into existing floodwalls on the ARM side. Closure structures on the CID side connect to earthen levees. Stoplogs and all stoplog components will be fabricated for the project, and once construction of the stoplog closure structures is complete, a test-fit of the stoplogs across Mainline Track No. 1 and Mainline Track No. 2 is required.

Prime Contractor construction experience within railroad right-of-way is required.  To facilitate construction and test-fit of the stop logs, UPRR will require approval of construction submittals, including a phasing plan and temporary shoring plans, and obtaining temporary track outages. Construction will require flagging operations for all activities within 25 feet of the track or if equipment has the potential to foul track.

Stoplog storage structures are to be provided to store all stoplog components on each levee unit.

The solicitation will be posted and available on SAM.gov on or about 09 March 2026 and bids will be due approximately 45 days later. The solicitation, including any amendments, shall establish the actual proposal due date.
