- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District will be issuing an Invitation for Bids on behalf of the United States Navy (USN) for dredging of the Federal Navigation Project (FNP) in the lower Kennebec River below Bath, Maine. This will be an unrestricted invitation for bid (IFB) requiring a hydraulic hopper dredge to perform the work. The NAICS code for this procurement is 237990 with a size standard of $32.5M. The estimated construction cost is expected to range from $1,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00.The USN has a requirement for dredging (i.e., about every 3 years) to support the navigational requirements of Navy ships transiting the channel to and from Bath Iron Works (BIW), a private shipbuilding firm located in Bath, ME. This includes an anticipated requirement for dredging to begin on or about December 1, 2022, and to be completed before March 30, 2023 (i.e., the preferred environmental window). However, due to a reduced snow-pack last winter, current drought conditions and seasonal low-flows, and concerns with the current level of shoaling, particularly in the Doubling Point Reach, this requirement may need to be accelerated and be completed prior to the transit of DDG 120, a Navy Destroyer tentatively scheduled to depart BIW on or about September 26, 2022, for sea-trials. Conditions in the river are scheduled to be checked in early August and a determination will be made at that time as to whether the requirement will need acceleration. If this requirement needs to be accelerated, contractor?s plans would need to be submitted within 7 calendar days of award, dredging will need to commence within 10 calendar days from Notice to Proceed (NTP) and dredging completed (minimally at Doubling Point) on or before September 25, 2022. The remainder of the work can be completed subsequent to the transit of DDG 120. The work involves dredging of two portions of the authorized, 27-foot deep, 500-foot wide FNP in the lower Kennebec River. Maintenance dredging involves removal of a total of about 45,500 cubic yards (cy) of clean sand from two areas. Approximately 35,000 cy of sand will be removed from the Doubling Point area (i.e., just below Bath) and approximately 20,000 cy of sand will be removed from the Popham Beach area (at the river mouth). As part of this requirement, maintenance dredging will be performed to remove the sand-waves in the vicinity of Doubling Point to a maximum elevation of -32? below Mean Lower Low Water. Material dredged from the Doubling Point area will be placed in the previously used in-river disposal area north of Bluff Head in about 95-100 feet of water. Material dredged from the Popham Beach area will be placed in the previously used 500-yard diameter nearshore disposal area located about 0.4 nautical miles south of Jackknife Ledge and in about 40-50 feet of water. In order to complete this requirement, it is anticipated that a hydraulic hopper dredge will need to be capable of a production rate (i.e., dredging and placement of dredged material) of about 100,000 cubic yards within a 30-day period. *Visit 'https://piee.eb.mil/sol/xhtml/unauth/search/oppMgmtLink.xhtml?solNo=W912WJ22B0019' to obtain more details.*
