- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS and is not a solicitation announcement. The purpose of this Market Research and Sources Sought Notice is to gain knowledge of potential qualified Small Business firms who own dredges of the sizes specified below. Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the government in making appropriate acquisition decisions. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District, anticipates several future procurements in fiscal year 2016 for the rental and/or unit price of dredging equipment to perform maintenance dredging of inland river systems as well as coastal harbors, rivers, bays and bar channels. These future requirements for rental and/or unit price dredging equipment will be for different size categories of dredges and for different types of dredges as described below. One requirement will be for hydraulic cutterhead dredges with a minimum pump discharge diameter of 20 through 30 inches, measured as the inside diameter of the discharge side of the main dredge pump. The dredge shall be capable, from each setting of the spud, of dredging a channel at least 300 foot wide, while swinging through an arc of 35 degrees to either side of the centerline of the cut (total arc 70 degrees or less). The cutterhead ladder shall be of sufficient length to provide a uniformly dredged channel depth of 30 feet, measured from the water surface. A second requirement will be for hydraulic cutterhead dredges with a minimum pump discharge diameter of 20 through 30 inches, measured as the inside diameter of the discharge side of the main dredge pump. The dredge shall be capable, from each setting of the spud, of dredging a channel at least 200 foot wide, while swinging through an arc of 35 degrees to either side of the centerline of the cut (total arc 70 degrees or less). The cutterhead ladder shall be of sufficient length to provide a uniformly dredged channel depth of 58 feet, measured from the water surface. The cutterhead requirements above must be complete with crew, management staff and support equipment including dredge discharge pipeline, booster pumps, tugs, and various other floating plant as would normally be expected to support a large dredging operation. A third requirement will be for fully crewed and equipped self-propelled trailing suction-type hopper dredges with a minimum hopper capacity of 3600 cubic yards. The solicitations will be for fixed price contracts issued for various dredging locations with the maximum contract value not to exceed $10 million.
