- Description
- The authorized Federal Navigation Project for the lower Kennebec River consists of a channel, 27 feet deep and 500 feet wide extending from the river mouth near Popham Beach to a point about 13 miles upstream at the city of Bath. The New England District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is proposing to perform maintenance dredging of two portions (and advance maintenance dredging in one of those two portions) of the Federal project in the Kennebec River in the summer of 2011. Dredging is needed to remove dangerous shoals from the channel in advance of the transit of the U.S. Navy Destroyer, the "SPRUANCE", currently scheduled to depart the Bath Iron Works (BIW) on or about September 1, 2011 on its way to being commissioned. The SPRUANCE has been deemed critical to national defense and its transit from the BIW cannot be delayed. We are proposing to perform maintenance dredging in the vicinity of Doubling Point (just below Bath) and at the mouth of the river near Popham Beach. We estimate that a total of about 70,000 cubic yards (i.e. 60,000 cubic yards from Doubling Point and 10,000 cubic yards from Popham Beach) of clean sandy material needs to be removed from the channel. The shoals in the Doubling Point area consist of massive sand-waves oscillating within vertical and horizontal ranges; the elevation at the tips of these sand-waves vary from -19.7' to -26.8'. As part of this proposal, advance maintenance may be performed to remove the sand-waves in the vicinity of Doubling Point to a maximum elevation of -32' in an effort to improve the chance that adequate depths will endure. The estimated quantity mentioned above (i.e. 60,000 cubic yards) includes advance maintenance dredging. The proposed work will be performed with a hopper dredge over a three to five week period beginning on or about August 1, 2011. The material dredged from the Doubling Point area will be disposed of at the previously used in-river disposal site located north of Bluff Head in about 95 to 100 feet of water. Material dredged from the Popham Beach area will be disposed at a previously used 500-yard circular near-shore disposal site located about 0.4 nautical miles south of Jackknife Ledge in depths of about 40 to 50 feet. Maintenance dredging is contingent upon the availability of the necessary approvals and funding. We anticipate that plans and specifications will be available around mid to late May 2011 and will be available for downloading by accessing the Federal Business Opportunities website (http:/www.fbo.gov). In order to view this solicitation, prospective contractors are required to self register their firm with Federal Business Opportunities (go to http:/fbo.gov and register under Vendor/Citizen). Amendments, if any, to his solicitation will be made available at the http:/www.fbo.gov website. Neither telephonic, mailed nor faxed requests will be accepted. Registrants are responsible for the accuracy of the information on the FedBizOps Registration List. This is being issued as an unrestricted procurement. The estimated cost of the contract is between $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. The applicable NAICS code is 237990. Any responsible source meeting this standard may submit a proposal to be considered by the New England District.
