- Description
- The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) intends to issue an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to perform maintenance dredging of Buttermilk Channel, New York Federal Navigation Project, with subsequent placement of the dredged material at a contractor furnished, state permitted upland placement site(s). The proposed maintenance dredging would remove approximately 90,000 cubic yards of sediment to depths of 35 feet below Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) plus 2 feet allowable overdepth and 40 feet below MLLW plus 2 feet allowable overdepth. Due to restrictions found in the water quality certificate, the proposed work shall only be performed by a mechanical dredge with a closed environmental clamshell bucket. The dredged material will be required to meet all Federal, State, and approved 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 by the contractor. Additionally, multiple barges and tug boats will be needed to perform the work during the dredging, dewatering and unloading operations. 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 of the Notice To Proceed (NTP), and to prosecute said work diligently and to complete the work ready for use not later than fifty-four (54) calendar days after the receipt by him of the NTP. The contractor is required to maintain an integrated production of at least 2,250 cubic yards per calendar day. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 237990. The small business size standard is $27,500,000. The SIC CODE is 1629. The work is estimated to cost between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.

It is the intention of the Government to award in mid August 2015 and issue the NTP in late August 2015.
