- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is soliciting prospective contractors for the restoration of Nashawannuck Pond. Nashawannuck Pond is a man-made impoundment located in the City of Easthampton within the Connecticut River Basin, formed at the confluence of Broad and White Brooks. The pond has an area of 31 acres. The projects purpose is to restore the degraded aquatic habitat which has resulted from sedimentation. The project would remove approximately 55,000 cubic yards (CY) of fine-grained sediment from Nashawannuck Pond while the pond is fully drained. The limits of the excavation would be to a depth of 12 feet focusing primarily upon the White Brook and Broad Brook cove areas, extending northward. The recommended method for sediment removal at Nashawannuck Pond is complete drainage of the pond by lowering the existing bascule gate at the spillway, and then completely drained by opening one or more of the sluice gates at the side of the dam. After the pond is dewatered, mechanical excavation (using land based excavation equipment) of the exposed sediments will be undertaken. The sediments will be loaded onto trucks and hauled to a city owned upland (non-wetland) disposal area located approximately 1-1/8 miles (mi) to the southwest. Existing flows from both Broad and White Brooks will be diverted away from the sediments to be excavated by excavating a central channel through the pond prior to complete drawdown and using silt fencing to control turbidity. In addition, a temporary weir will be installed at the upstream side of the culvert connecting Nashawannuck Pond to Rubber Thread Pond under Williston Avenue. The temporary weir will maintain the surface elevation of Rubber Thread Pond during the excavation activities. During construction the sluice gates will be adjusted to continually discharge a minimum outflow equal to the inflow of the three tributaries. At the completion of the excavation, the sluice gates will be partially closed in order to maintain a downstream flow, and allow the pond to refill. It is anticipated that the refilling of the pond will take approximately three months. The NAICS code for this procurement is 237990 with a size standard of $33.5 million. This solicitation will be issued as an 8(a) competitive set-aside. The estimated issue date for the solicitation is on or about 27 April 2009. Interested bidders can download the solicitation via the Federal Business Opportunities website (www.fbo.gov). The due date for the bid will be stated in the solicitation. Requests for solicitation documents by telephone, fax, or email will not be honored. Instructions for bid submissions will be provided in the solicitation. All responsible sources may submit a bid for consideration by the New England District.
