Y -- REMOVE DISPOSED DRDG MATERIAL FROM TWO LOCATIONS ON THE BW&T RIVER SYS, WASHINGTON & TUSCALOOSA COUNTIES, AL DUE 042099 POC Contact Karen Johnson, (334) 690-2535; Contracting Officer, Sue L. Speights WEB: http://www.sam.usace.army.mil/sam/ct/cgi-win/projlist.exe, http://www.sam.usace.army.mil/sam/ct. E-MAIL: cesam.plansroom@sam.usace.army.mil, cesam.plansroom@sam.usace.army.mil. Sources sought for removal of disposed dredged material from two, out of low river bank disposal areas at two locations on the Black Warrior and Tombigbee River System, Alabama. One site is located in Washington County, Alabama at navigation mile 109 on the downstream right bank of the Tombigbee River, and the other in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama at navigation mile 307 on the downstream right bank of the Black Warrior River. Up to 600 thousand cubic yards of material may be available at each site. We envision that a contract would be awarded by multiple awards and by partial awards on generally a lowest price, technically acceptable basis, and contract periods would be one base year with four option years. The sites are only accessible by river, but a contractor may obtain roadway access from landowners. We envision that payment for removal would be made on a per ton basis by measurement of barge displacement or other suitable means. The material at mile 109 was sampled in 1995 and may be considered to consist of 10.66 pct coarse aggregate, 88.36 pct fine aggregate, and 0.98 pct undersize, with 0.49 pct heavy metals identified in order of decreasing occurrence as zircon, rutile, kyanite, ilmenite, tourmaline, hematite, and garnet. Minor amounts of organic debris, rock, wood and rubbish may also be present. The material at mile 307 was sampled in 1995 and may be considered to consist of 2.34 pct coarse aggregate, 95.19 pct fine aggregate, and 2.47 pct undersize, with 0.43 pct heavy minerals identified in order of decreasing occurrence as zircon, rulite, ilmenite, kyanite, garnet, and tourmaline. Surface trees and minor amounts of organic debris, rock, wood and rubbish may also be present. Arrangements to visit and sample the sites may be made by contacting Mr. Joe Brown or Mr. Fred Horn at the Tuscaloosa Site Office at (205) 752-3571 on business days. The contractor would be required to obtain any required permits. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement.
