- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing a Sources Sought Announcement for a construction project for Ecosystem Restoration, Stewart's Creek, Barnstable, Massachusetts to determine the interest, availability, and capability of 8(a), HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned concerns to perform various construction activities as described below at Stewart's Creek. The NAICS code for this procurement is 237990. The estimated construction cost is between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Work will begin in September 2011 and will extend over a 6-8 month period. The Stewart's Creek Estuary Restoration Project is located on Cape Cod in the town of Barnstable, Massachusetts. The system is connected to Hyannis Harbor (Nantucket Sound) through a 50 foot-long, 3 foot-diameter concrete culvert that passes under Ocean Avenue. The project involves restoring tidal flushing to the salt pond/marsh system by replacing the existing culvert under Ocean Avenue and restoring salt pond and salt marsh by excavating and redistributing sediment. The existing culvert will be replaced with a 4-foot by 6-foot concrete culvert with headwalls and wingwalls. The downstream side of the culvert will be equipped with a combination sluice gate, which has a flap valve to allow water to leave the upstream area as the tide recedes. A sedimentation basin (a small depression) will be constructed at the upstream side of the culvert to capture sand transported into the marsh from the beach and an access ramp will be constructed to allow maintenance equipment to access the sedimentation basin. Work on the culvert will be conducted with an open road cut between September and May. Downstream flow must be pumped over Ocean Avenue during construction of the culvert. The restoration area located upstream of the culvert is comprised of a stream fed pond; therefore, a water control plan is required for sediment removal and culvert replacement to be conducted. Installation of the new culvert requires the relocation of an existing four inch diameter National Grid gas line and the relocation of an existing 12 inch diameter water line. Gas line relocation work will be a joint effort between National Grid and the Contractor, with National Grid cutting and capping the old line and making the final connection to the new line. To relocate the water main, the Contractor is required to secure the services of a Town of Hyannis qualified contractor. There are also utility poles adjacent to the site which will have communication lines in place and operational during the prosecution of the work which shall not be disturbed by the Contractor. A portion of the pond just north of Ocean Avenue will be dredged to a maximum depth of -1.0 foot NGVD29 removing approximately 3,300 cubic yards (c.y.) of material. Salt marsh will be restored adjacent to the north side of this pond using the 3,300 c.y. of dredged material. The excavated material will raise the existing elevations of the proposed marsh area to approximately 2.0 feet NGVD29. A coir fiber roll will be placed around the perimeter of the excavated sediments (approximately 1.8 acres) to hold the material in place and the perimeter will be planted with salt marsh grasses to encourage them to colonize the restoration area. Interested firms should submit a capabilities package to include the following information: small business size classification (i.e. 8(a), etc.) as well as qualifications and experience in performing the work requirements stated above. Please include specific examples of the firm's past experience with projects of similar scope and magnitude in terms of size and cost. A bond is not required to be submitted at this time however, proof of ability to obtain bonding for 100% of the estimated project amount is required. Responses are limited to twenty pages. Responses are due March 14, 2011. Responses should be addressed to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, 696 Virginia Road, Concord, MA 01742-2751, ATTN: Ms. Raushanah Muhammad. Firms interested shall provide the above documentation in one original form and one copy. Please submit hard copies. The Government will not pay for any material provided in response to this market survey nor return the data provided. The results of this survey will be considered to be in effect for a period of one year from the date of this notice. This is not a request to be placed on a solicitation mailing list nor is it a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an announcement of a solicitation.
