- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to perform maintenance dredging of portions of the Newark Bay, New Jersey, Federal Navigation Project, with subsequent placement of the dredged material at a suitable contractor-furnished, state-permitted upland placement site(s). The proposed maintenance dredging would involve the removal of approximately 1,010,800 cubic yards (approximately 201,000 cubic yards as basic work, and the remaining as options) of selected critical shoals from the Main, Port Newark, and Port Newark Pierhead Channels to a depth of -40 feet Mean Low Water (MLW) plus one (1) foot allowable overdepth, subject to the availability of funds. This procurement is being solicited under 100% Full and Open Competition. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 237990. The business size standard is $33,500,000. The SIC CODE is 1629. The estimated cost range for this project is between $10,000,000.00- $25,000,000.00. Plans and specification for Solicitation will be available on or about 12 February 2014. Bid Opening date is on or about 14 March 2014 at 2:00 P.M. (Eastern Standard Time). Due to restrictions expected to be found in the water quality certificate, it is likely that the proposed work must / can only be performed by a large mechanical dredge with a closed environmental clamshell bucket. Additionally, multiple barges and tug boats will be needed to perform the work during the dredging, dewatering and unloading operations. The dredged material will be transported to a suitable upland placement site(s) furnished by the contractor, permitted by the State, and approved by the Government. The dredged material will be required to meet all federal, state and local criteria required by the government agencies having jurisdiction where the placement site is located. All necessary permits required for the dredged material placement will be provided to the Government. The apparent low bidder shall, within 35 calendar days from the date the apparent low bidder is notified of being such, provide copies of all required permits and approvals for transfer, transportation, dewatering and/or other processing, and final disposal of dredged material, and shall submit evidence of such permits and approvals to the Government. Bidders should consult with Section 00 80 00 paragraph 1.3 of the Specifications for all submittal requirements. The Contractor will be required to commence work within five (5) calendar days after the date of receipt by him the notice to proceed, to prosecute said work diligently and to complete the basic work ready for use not later than one hundred (100) calendar days after the receipt by him of the notice to proceed. There are several options to the contract. The options, if they are exercised, may not be exercised in numerical order. If the options are exercised, their performance periods will be consecutive. The time for contract completion of each option will be determined by allowing a rate of one calendar day for each 2,250 cubic yards removed. The contractor is required to maintain an integrated production of at least 2,250 cubic yards per calendar day. Small Business Goals: In accordance with FAR Clauses 52.219-8 and 52.219-9, large businesses will be required to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan prior to award of a contract.
