- Description
- The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) proposes to perform maintenance dredging of the Newark Bay, New Jersey, Federal Navigation Project. The dredged material would be processed and subsequently transported to and placed at a contractor furnished, State permitted upland placement site(s). The proposed maintenance dredging would remove approximately 240,000 cubic yards (a minimum of approximately 220,000 cubic yards as basic work, and the remaining as options) of selected critical shoals from the Main and Port Newark Channels. Dredging would be required to a depth of -38 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) plus 1 foot allowable overdepth. Due to restrictions found in the water quality certificate, the proposed work can only be performed by utilizing a mechanical dredge with a closed clamshell environmental bucket. Additionally, multiple barges and tug boats will be needed to perform the work during the dredging, dewatering and unloading operations. The dredged material would be required to meet all federal, state, and approved local criteria required by the government agencies having jurisdiction where the placement site is located. All necessary permits required for the dredged material placement will be provided by the contractor to the government. The apparent low bidder shall, within 35 calendar days from the date the apparent low bidder is notified of being such, provide copies of all required permits and approvals for transfer, transportation, dewatering and/or other processing, and final placement of dredged material, and shall submit evidence of such permits and approvals to the government. Bidders should consult with Section 00 80 00 paragraph 1.3 of the Specifications for all submittal requirements. The Contractor will be required to commence work within five (5) calendar days after the date of receipt by him of the notice to proceed, and to prosecute said work diligently and to complete the basic work ready for use not later than one hundred and ten (110) calendar days after the receipt by him of the notice to proceed (NTP). There is an option(s) to the contract. If more than one option is included, the options, if they are exercised, may not be exercised in numerical order. If the options are exercised, their performance periods will be consecutive. The time for contract completion of each option will be determined by allowing a rate of one calendar day for each 2,250 cubic yards removed. The contractor is required to maintain an integrated production of at least 2,250 cubic yards per calendar day. The work is estimated to cost over $10,000,000. Plans and specifications for the subject project would be available in April 2016, with bid opening in May 2016. It is the intention of the government to award in July 2016 and issue the NTP in August 2016. Liquidated Damages of $2,224.00 per calendar day of delay will be assessed to the contractor until all work under the contract is accepted as complete. This is an unrestricted Procurement.
