Mississippi River and Tributaries Project (MR&T), Atchafalaya Basin Levee District (ABLD)

Original Set Aside: Historically Underutilized Business (HUBZone) Set-Aside (FAR 19.13) The MRL Armoring near Morganza Project will consist of repair the failed levee sections on the Morganza South Guide Levee along Baseline Stations 275+00 to 335+00, and multiple erosion locations along the Mainline MRL between stations 1002+00 to 1022+00 and 1313+69 to 1369+69. The sections will be replaced with adjacent excavated and new embankment material. New fill material may need to be processed with the excavated material to construct the levee back to its original slope. Once completed, construction of approximately 13,600 LF of Articulated Concrete Blocks (ACBs) and geotextile separator fabric will placed along the levee slope from EL. 60 FT to 15 FT past EL. 49 FT at Baseline Stations 1313+69 to 1369+69 and 275+00 to 335+00 and from EL. 60 FT to 15 FT past the levee toe at Baseline Stations 1002+00 to 1022+00. The ACBs will be anchored into the levee slope at the top and bottom limits of the levee slope in an anchor trench which will be backfilled and compacted. It is expected that heavy construction equipment such as excavators and bulldozers will be used to repair the levee slope, prepare the surface and excavate the anchor trench. A crane will be used along Highway 1 and the levee crown for the placement of the ACB mats. Once all construction is completed, the levee and disturbed areas will be fertilized and seeded for turf establishment.
