4. 17 April 2012 4 Lower Monongahela River Project The Chicago Shoreline project will provide wind/wave protection to about 9.2 miles of the Lake Michigan shoreline in Chicago, IL. consists of a step-stone type of revetment with its intended purpose being to protect the Federal highway that runs along the shoreline. Initial structures constructed in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Periodically made emergency repairs over the years. Congressional authorization and appropriations received in 1996.

5. 17 April 2012 5 Emsworth Dams Rehabilitation Shift from a lake shoreline protection project to this flood damage reduction project. The project includes constructing 22 miles of levees and floodwalls, installing a control structure building hiking trails and preserving over 750 acres of wetland. The project also involves relocating seven miles of river channel to allow better water flow, modifying highway bridges to permit unobstructed flow of water and installing a flood warning system. The project will protect more than 9,500 homes and businesses in Gary, Griffith, Hammond, Highland and Munster, in NW Indiana, preventing nearly $11 million in average annual flood damage. It is a $184 M project, 50% constructed, with a few sections yet to be designed and construction completion expected in FY 10.Shift from a lake shoreline protection project to this flood damage reduction project.

6. 17 April 2012 6 PL 84-99 The Indiana Harbor and Canal have not been dredged since 1970, because of contamination from the steel industry. With this project we will build a safe disposal site for dredged material. The site will be at a current superfund site, so that our project will also bring RCRA regulated closure to the site. It is estimate that construction of the Confined Disposal facility (CDF) will be $118 M when completed. Dredging will then begin. The first construction contract for this project was awarded in FY-02. This contract is for installing the slurry cutoff wall which is scheduled for completion in April 2004. Significant design and construction remains which includes water treatment facility, clay dikes and a waterloo sheet piling closure structure on the channel side of the CDF. Eddy Pump demo performed to see if water volume could be reduced to make hydraulic dredging economically feasible in lieu of mechanical dredging.The Indiana Harbor and Canal have not been dredged since 1970, because of contamination from the steel industry.

11. 17 April 2012 11 FY 2006 ActiveConstruction Contracts This slide shows the existing contracts that were in place in FY 2004, and will continue in FY 2005. I would like to call your attention to our Charleroi L/D CONTRACT 1. We just awarded that contract in September 04, and we expect to get that work started later this year. As you can see, the contract was awarded for $96.5 M, yet due to anticipated budget constraints this year, and the ongoing River Chamber Demolition contract also at Charleroi, progress will be limited to $1.2 M in contractor earnings. We will achieve this by delaying notice to proceed. This delay was noted in the contract, and the contractors developed work plans and schedules with this delay in mind.This slide shows the existing contracts that were in place in FY 2004, and will continue in FY 2005.

12. 17 April 2012 12 FY 2006 AnticipatedConstruction Contracts We are very encouraged to see funding for Emsworth L/D this year. Completion of the Ohio River Main Stem Study has been delayed, and this has in-turn, delayed Pittsburgh from starting the Feasibility Study for the Emsworth, Dashields, and Montgomery navigation improvement study. The Emsworth Dam gates, bulkheads, and machinery are very deteriorated, and we made a very compelling case to our HQ for wedge-funds to fabricate and replace the these critical components of the dam before a failure occurs. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Back Pocket Information: Emsworth Locks is very poor condition and undersized. Dam is in fair condition. Concrete is good. Gates and scour protection are in very poor to critical condition. Any future plan for Emsworth will include Rehab of the Dam and Replacememt of the Locks. The poor condition of the dam components due to deterioration of the steel requires us to act now, rather than wait until the project moves thru the normal study and authorization process.

13. 17 April 2012 13 FY 2006 ActiveOperation & Maintenance Contracts The new-start construction projects shown for FY 2005 are all under our Continuing Authority Program, which we refer to as the “CAP”. We are still not sure if there will be sufficient funding this year for the CAP program. We are ready to advertise these projects, we have cost sharing agreements in place with our local sponsors, and we remain optimistic that these projects will be funded this year. Contracts listed as IDIQ will be limited to our existing contractors. HubZone will be limited to HubZone contractors.The new-start construction projects shown for FY 2005 are all under our Continuing Authority Program, which we refer to as the “CAP”.

16. 17 April 2012 16 Anticipated Service Contracts Based on the expiration dates of our existing contracts, this is the anticipated A-E support we will be soliciting in the near future. After our restructuring later this month, we anticipate a significant increase in our A-E utilization. Of course, this is all budget driven, and depends on how many new projects get authorized and appropriated over the next few years.Based on the expiration dates of our existing contracts, this is the anticipated A-E support we will be soliciting in the near future.
