- Description
- The US Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for dredging of UPPER BAY Shoal Removal (S-SR-1) Contract #1 for New York and NEW Jersey Harbor and Adjacent Channels. The project area is located in Port Jersey Channel, Bayonne, New Jersey. The Contract consists of deepening of the Federal Navigation Channel System (Removal of Shoals) to a depth of 52 feet (plus 1.0) (MLW). The project SSR1 includes the dredging and placement of non-rock materials. The non-rock materials suitable for Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS) placement will be placed at the HARS Site. It may involve the use of an environmental bucket such as a cable-arm clamshell dredge with 26 cubic yard bucket, an excavator dredge with a 12 CY bucket or a regular clamshell. These dredges must be able to operate in a minimum of 53.5 to 54 ft of water. Scows and tugs will be needed to place the material at the HARS. In addition, the Contractor must be capable of working in an active navigation channel with frequent ship traffic. The Contractor will therefore be required to relocate to allow for passage into the harbor and ports. Dredgers must be able to handle material at a sufficient rate to maintain a very aggressive schedule. In addition, the presence of dredging equipment in the channel will impact ship traffic, and it is necessary to minimize the duration of this impact. The work is estimated to cost between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000. Large business concerns must submit as part of their bid a subcontracting plan for this project in accordance with FAR Clause 52.219-8 and FAR Clause 52.219-9. Failure to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan may make the bidder ineligible for award of the contract. Small Business Goals: If a large business, the prime contractor shall provide its small business subcontracting plan conforming to the requirements of FAR 19.704 and DFARS 219.7. The small business subcontracting goals for USACE New York District are as follows: Small Business 50.0%, Small Disadvantaged Business 17.0%, Women-Owned Small Business 18.0%, HubZone Small Business 10.0%, Veteran Owned Small Business 4.0% and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business 4.0%. A subcontracting plan reflecting goals less than indicated, shall provide, as part of the subcontracting plan submission, those extenuating circumstances of why the goal cannot be met. You may contact the District, Deputy of Small Business or your local SBA for assistance. A contract will not be awarded until the Contracting Officer has determined that the subcontracting plan provides maximum practicable opportunities for Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, Veteran-Owned Small Business, Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, HubZone Small Business and Women-Owned Small Business program concerns to participate in contract performance. The media selected for issuance of Synopsis/Solicitation and amendments shall solely be at the discretion of the Government; accordingly, the media utilized for this project shall be the internet.
