Description

This is a sources sought synopsis for maintenance dredging for various projects over 5 million dollars for the New York District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The work consists of maintenance dredging with the disposal of the dredged material at a suitable upland placement site(s) to be provided by the contractor. The purpose of the proposed dredging is to maintain the authorized project dimensions, thereby assuring safe economical use of Federal navigation channels by shipping interests. PLACEMENT SITE: The dredged material will be transported by contractor-identified means, to a suitable upland placement site(s) furnished by the contractor. The dredged material will be required to meet all federal, state and local criteria required for the site selected. All necessary permits required for the dredged material placement will be provided by the contractor. Any sampling and testing required for obtaining permits required for dredged material placement will be provided by the contractor. ENVIRONMENTAL/REGULATORY COMPLIANCE: Permits or regulatory approvals that will be provided by the contractor include placement site permits as applicable and others as related to transportation, processing and placement of the dredged material, or any other aspects of the contractor's proposed disposition of the dredged material. These approvals include, but are not limited to: Water Quality Certificates (WQC) in accordance with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, Coastal Zone Management (CZM) consistency determinations, and state agreement pursuant to Section 307 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 as amended, for activities conducted in a state which has a federally approved Coastal Zone Management program. WQC and CZM permits related to the dredging (as opposed to dredged material disposition) will be provided by the New York District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. PRODUCTION CAPABILITY: In addition to the environmental/regulatory compliance requirements, bidders will provide evidence of the production capability and throughput rates for their proposed integrated system of dredging, transportation, processing, and placement.
