- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing an unrestricted solicitation for Milford Pond Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Project, Milford, Massachusetts. The project is planned to be issued on or about July 14, 2014. The estimated construction cost is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00. The work for this project involves the dredging of approximately 250,000 cubic yards (CY) of material from approximately 17 acres of Milford Pond in order to restore open water habitat suitable for resident fish species and water birds. Access to the pond is by a paved road and constructed concrete boat ramp. The project must be completed within one year, and dredging is anticipated to be completed between the months of April through October, necessitating dredge rates of 50,000 CY/month or greater. Work at the site will be limited to daylight hours, Monday through Saturday. The area to be dredged is currently between two and six feet deep and will be dredged to 12 feet deep. During the dredging operation, hidden stumps and logs may be encountered and will need to be addressed. The dredged material will be placed in a shallow 34-acre area of Milford Pond adjacent to the dredge area in order to create additional emergent wetlands suitable for water bird nesting and Atlantic white cedar establishment. A hydraulic dredge and pipeline system may be utilized, with material pumped directly into the disposal area. Mechanical dredging may also utilized in combination with hydraulic pumping. The 5600-foot perimeter of the 34-acre disposal area will be constructed by installation of a sediment containment fence, inside of which material will be allowed to settle and fill to approximately the level of the pond. Construction of the perimeter sediment containment fence will involve working from a barge and driving wooden posts four to five feet deep into the pond bottom and installing multiple layers of coir rolls. Four areas inside the 30-acre perimeter will be allowed to be filled into higher mounds to form low elevation islands. The material to be dredged is composed of various layers of fine to coarse sand, peat, and organic silt. This is not a request for proposals at this time. The solicitation requirements and contract documents to include instructions for submission and the response date will be available on or about July 14, 2014. Neither telephonic, mailed nor faxed requests for hard copies of this solicitation will be accepted. The solicitation will only be available online; in order to download the solicitation, offerors must access the Federal Business Opportunities website (www.fbo.gov). All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the New England District. Additional questions may be emailed to the Contract Specialist at kimberly.b.pumyea@usace.army.mil.
