- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be issuing an Invitation for Bids for dredging project at the Mystic River in Groton and Stonington, Connecticut. The NAICS code for this procurement is 237990. The estimated construction cost is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.00. The scope of this project consists of maintenance dredging of the Mystic River Federal Navigation Project (FNP) in Groton and Stonington, Connecticut. The FNP in the Mystic River, as completed in 1957, consists of (1) a 15-foot channel, 125 feet from the Sound up to the railroad bridge, then 100 feet wide up to highway bridge (US Route 1), (2) a 12-foot channel above the highway bridge to the upper wharves at the Seaport Museum, (3) a 9-foot by 8.5-acre anchorage in the harbor north of Mason Island, and (4) a 9-foot turning basin above the railroad bridge. The 12-foot channel was last maintained in 1941. Dredging of the other project features was last accomplished with the improvement work completed in 1957. The proposed project consists of maintenance dredging of up to 250,000 cubic yards (cy) of material from the Mystic River FNP (the 15' channel, the 12' channel and the 9' anchorage area). The dredging would restore the channels and anchorage area to authorized depths. The material from the project, which is predominantly silt, is suitable for open water placement at the New London Disposal Site (NLDS) in Long Island Sound. The Rhode Island Sound Disposal Site (RISDS) in Rhode Island Sound is a secondary placement option if necessary. A mechanical dredge (clamshell dredge) will be used to remove shoals from all areas of the FNP and the material will be placed in scows and transported to NLDS or RISDS for disposal. To avoid impacts to aquatic resources, dredging north of the RN-22 channel marker will be restricted to Sept 1 - January 31st and the channel south of RN-22 will be dredged Sept 1st - Apr 1st if extra time is required to complete the project. In addition to the FNP, the State of Connecticut has requested maintenance dredging of two non-federal channels. Both are 6-foot navigation channels totaling approximately 30,000 CY of material to be dredged. Both channels are located north of Mason Island. 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 11, 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 bid which shall be considered by the New England District. Additional questions may be emailed to the Contract Specialist at Susan.k.Dunnagan@usace.army.mil
