- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is soliciting prospective contractors to respond to Invitation for Bid No. W912WJ-04-B-0011 for the Section 1135 Coastal Wetland Ecosystem Restoration Project, Allins Cove, Barrington, Rhode Isla nd. Allins Cove is a small embayment of Narragansett Bay estuary about 21 acres in size. About eight acres at the southern end of the cove were used as a dredged material disposal site during the dredging of nearby Bullock Point Cove in 1959. The fillin g elevated the marsh and sub-tidal areas above the normal range of the tide. Phragmites have colonized the filled area. Over time, the sand spit at the southerly end of the filled area has migrated north-northwest due to wave action. Migration of the bar rier spit northward has displaced the tidal inlet northward toward Byway Road. The shoreline next to Byway Road is eroding and eventually Byway Road and the adjacent salt marsh will be lost. The work consists of restoring coastal habitat in Allins Cove b y excavating portions of the filled area, disposing of the excavated material in an on-site disposal area, realigning the tidal inlet, constructing a north sand spit along Byway Road, and reforming the south sand spit at the toe of the disposal area. Exca vation and grading will be performed mechanically by conventional construction equipment using low pressure tires or tracks. During marsh excavation, sediment runoff will be prevented by construction of silt fencing. Some disturbed areas will be seeded w ith suitable coastal grasses in areas most susceptible to erosion. Two osprey platforms will be constructed to increase nesting habitat. The estimated cost of this procurement is between $250,000 and $500,000. The NAICS code for this procurement is 2379 90 with a Size Standard of $17.02 million. This solicitation is issued on an unrestricted basis and will be a firm fixed price contract. The estimated issue date for this solicitation is on or about 26 July 2004. Prospective contractors and subcontractor s are required to self-register their firm or office on the Internet to receive the solicitation. Registration instructions are available on the Internet at http://www.nae.usace.army.mil as well as the media by which the solicitation will be made availabl e. Amendments, if any, to this solicitation will be made available at this Internet site. Neither telephonic, mailed nor fax requests will be accepted. Those registering are responsible for the accuracy of the information on the registration list. All responsible sources may submit a bid, which will be considered by the New England District.
