- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for a construction project. The proposed work consists of maintenance dredging and advance maintenance dredging to remove approximately 150,000 cubic yards (cy) of clean sand and gravel from five areas in the authorized, 32 foot deep by 500 foot wide, main-ship channel (Canal) and the 25 foot deep EMB portions of the Cape Cod Canal (CCC) Federal project. In order to extend the time between maintenance dredging events, advance maintenance dredging will be performed. Five shoal areas in the authorized 32 foot deep Canal will be dredged to depths ranging from -36 feet below Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) to -40 feet below MLLW (2 feet of allowable over-depth is included in these depths). The authorized 25 foot deep EMB will be dredged to -34 feet below MLLW (includes 2 feet allowable over-depth). The proposed work will be performed by a hydraulic hopper dredge. The environmental dredging window for this work is 1 November - 31 March inclusive. Disposal Areas: A study is currently underway under the authority of Section 204 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1992 to evaluate the Federal interest in beneficially re-using the dredged material from the CCC project to rebuild the dunes and beach berm on a 2,500 foot long eroded section of Town Neck Beach in Sandwich. The town of Sandwich has been identified as the non-Federal sponsor for cost sharing of the study and for the potential beach nourishment. If the 204 study is completed in time to coincide with this maintenance dredging event then the material dredged from the Canal could be placed onto Town Neck Beach. The town of Sandwich has also expressed interest in receiving the material dredged from the maintenance dredging of the Canal regardless of the outcome of the Section 204 study so placement of the sand dredged from the Canal onto Town Neck Beach is likely. Alternatively, if for any reason the dredged material cannot be placed onto Town Neck Beach, the Cape Cod Canal Disposal Site (CCCDS) would be used for the disposal of the dredged material from the CCC maintenance dredging. The CCCDS is a circular area, one nautical mile in diameter, located about 3 nautical miles northeast of the east entrance to the Cape Cod Canal. A final determination as to the placement of the dredged material will be made prior to issuing the IFB. This solicitation is unrestricted. The applicable NAICS code is 237990. The estimated cost is expected to range from $5,000,000.00 - $10,000,000. 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 20, 2015. 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 Alysha.Macdonald@usace.army.mil
