Description

The US Army Corps of Engineers, New York intends to award a contract for rehabilitation /reconstruction of the jetty/revetment of the Federal Navigation Project at Shinnecock Inlet, New York. This is an Unrestricted Procurement. The applicable NAICS Code is 234990 with a small business size standard of $27.5million. The Estimated Cost for this project is $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. The work consists of rehabilitating approximately 360 feet of jetty/revetment constructed in 1994 and 1995 and reconstructing approximately 700 feet of revetment. The reconstruction/rehabilitation of the jetty/revetment will consist of removing approximately 11,000 tons of existing armor and core stone and placing approximately 35,000 tons of new or reused armor and core stone to the specified sections. The work will also require the installation of temporary sheet piling, the installation of geotextile material and the installation of a stone splash blanket. After completion of the work, the Contractor will load unacceptable stone on trucks for transport from the project site and/or barge the rock to the Shinnecock artificial reef. Due to the heavy recreation and tourist use of this area during summer months, the Contractor shall complete mobilization of all equipment prior to Memorial Day weekend or after Labor Day weekend. Barging of stone to the site may be performed during the entire year, with the exception of weekends during the period from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It is believed that most of the work may be accomplished from land-based equipment; however, some of the work may require the use of marine equipment. A staging/work area for the stone and equipment will be made available immediately adjacent to the jetty in the northern portion of the project. Due to piping plovers near the project area, the southernmost portion of the work will need to be performed during the period from October 1 to March 15. The duration of the project is approximately 730 calendar days. The media selected for the issuance of solicitations and amendments shall solely be at the discretion of the Government; accordingly, the media utilized for this project are the Internet and CD.
