Description

The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development intends to issue a Sole Source�Contract for dredging services to increase the navigational depths in Snug Harbor and along the adjacent Grasse River channel leading downstream approximately 0.3 miles to the St. Lawrence River. The SLSDC recently replaced its 1950�s era tug boat with a newly constructed Tundra ice-class tug boat (tug). The new tug has a navigational draft approximately 48 inches deeper than the existing tug. One of the primary purposes of the tug is to tow and maneuver the SLSDC's derrick crane barge (gatelifter) which is moored at Snug Harbor in Massena, NY. The access and operation of all components of gatelifter facilities and equipment are critical to the SLSDC�s emergency plans for ensuring the availability of the U.S. owned locks in the Seaway. The dredging services are required to provide the new tug with navigational access to and from Snug Harbor in support of the SLSDC's mission. SLSDC intends to issue a sole source contract to Arconic Inc. (Arconic) of Pittsburgh, PA under the authority of 6.302-1(2)(ii).� Arconic is currently performing dredging services in the Grasse River, which is an active Superfund site managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), because they are the responsible party for the hazardous waste contamination present in the river. The Superfund site encompasses approximately 7.2 miles of the Grasse River which includes the navigational area between the St. Lawrence River and Snug Harbor. This multi-million-dollar remediation project is the result of many years of stakeholder Negotiations, permitting reviews, engineering designs, project plans and construction activities required to be completed by Arconic as ordered by the EPA. It has been determined that a contract with Arconic provides the best value to the government. The SLSDC shall acquire�the services using the�provisions, clauses and procedures prescribed in FAR Part 14. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform�equivalent or better dredging services in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:00pm EST on September 25, 2020.� Such capabilities and�qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.� A determination by the SLSDC not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the SLSDC.� Oral communications are not an acceptable response.
