The Government is seeking qualified, experienced sources capable of performing construction services consisting of dredging and disposal of an estimated 1,200,000 cubic yards per year of sediment material from the federal navigation channels on the Ohio River (RM 0-981.0) and the pooled areas of tributaries; and the Upper Mississippi River RM 0.0-185.0. The sediments consist of primarily medium to coarse grained sands with a d50 of 0.03 inch. Dredging will occur in depths up to 33 feet (10 meters) below the water surface and in currents up to 5 knots. The dredge shall meet the following criteria: Maximum draft of 7.5 ft; Minimum 20 inches inside diameter pump discharge; Minimum of 1700 horsepower on the main pump shaft; Minimum 300 horsepower on the cutterhead shaft which produces a minimum output through a pontoon pipeline of 200 to 3200 feet in length and a lift up to 16.5 feet; Dredge up to and including 24 inch inside diameter pump discharge will be considered. Minimum dredge outputs are based upon bid production conditions and do not consider bank height and dredge efficiency reduction factors. The dredge shall be capable of dredging efficiently a 200 to 360 foot wide cut to a depth of 33 feet. While making a 300 foot wide cut, the dredge shall be of sufficient length that the swing angle to either side of the centerline of the cut shall not exceed 55 degrees. The dredge shall have a hauling engine with minimum cable speed of 70 ft/min in currents up to 5 knots; at least two spare interchangeable pump impellers and cutterheads. Size of dredge pump discharge inside diameter minimum continuous power connected dredge pump minimum continuous power connected cuttershaft minimum dredge output: 20 in (508 mm) 1700 hp (1268 kW) 300 hp (224 kW) 1084 CY/hr 22 in (559 mm) 1800 hp (1342 kW) 330 hp (246 kW) 1172 CY/hr 24 in (610 mm) 1800 hp (1342 kW) 360 hp (268 kW) 1229 CY/hr The contractor shall be required to supply but not be limited to the following equipment, fleet, and personnel in association with dredging, spill barge, fuel flats, auxiliary floating discharge pipe, derricks, anchor skidder barges, work flats, dredge tender vessels equipped with hydraulic cranes, inspection/survey vessel with associated survey equipment, computer(s) loaded with hydrographic database and dredging software, Differential Global Positioning System, Gyrocompass, Communications, Landline Disposal Pile, land pipe placing equipment, baffle plate, lighting, shall draft pipeline equipment necessary to efficiently dredge, dispose and verify sediment removal of sediments from the navigation channel as specified.
