Description

The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District Office requires a contract for GIWW Galveston Causeway Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) Debris Mechanical Dredging, Galveston County, TX. Requires mechanical dredging, demolition and debris removal of remnant bridge structures within and adjacent to GIWW, vicinity of Galveston Causeway and Railroad bridges. The estimated amount of underwater debris removal in the Galveston Causeway to Galveston Railroad Bridge is approximately 500 tons and in areas outside of the Galveston Causeway 25 foot wide channel is approximately 500 tons. FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT TO INCLUDE: The following activities are anticipated under this contract, including: mechanical dredging of sediment and debris, underwater demolition of existing structures, multi- and single-beam hydrographic surveying, screening of sediment from debris, diving and underwater rigging operations, intermodal (marine and land-based) transport of debris to an approved disposal facility, and extensive coordination with barge industry and U.S. Coast Guard. Project requires mechanical dredging of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) navigation channel between the Galveston Causeway and Railroad Bridge, Galveston County, TX and additional areas immediately adjacent to the GIWW. The dredging includes removal of sediment, removal of remnant navigation-span piers, fenders, pilings, and associated debris to a clearance depth of -20 feet Mean Low Tide (MLT). The contractor should expect to encounter mixed sediments, hard objects that could consist of concrete pieces in excess of 30 tons, concrete rubble piles and timber pilings from previously demolished fender systems, timber debris, steel, cables, and other unknown debris or structures not specifically identified in this solicitation. Contractors should expect to remove approximately 500 to 1,000 tons of material. Contractors should expect to conduct underwater demolition of existing structures and large concrete pieces prior to removal by mechanical dredging. The use of explosives is not permitted. The Contractor should expect the objects and debris to be buried to some extent within sediment, in which jetting, scouring, or other acceptable method may be required during the dredging and debris removal process. All dredged materials shall be screened to separate dredged sediment from debris material using a screening device. Screened debris shall be removed and placed onshore, as specified, and shall become the property of the Contractor and shall be transported to approved locations off-site and disposed in accordance with Federal, State, and local requirements. The Contractor should expect to encounter creosote-treated timber piles during removal operations. No disposal or storage site will be furnished by the Government. All non-hazardous waste debris shall be removed from the work site and disposed at an approved offsite Construction & Demolition (C&D) landfill determined by the Contractor. All structures, debris and other non-sediment material must be removed to a clearance depth of -20 feet Mean Low Tide (MLT). The contractor will be required to remove all dredged material (sediment and debris) to a depth of -20 feet MLT. Each work area must be cleared through multi-beam hydrographic surveys to ensure that no sediment and/or debris is present above -20 feet MLT. All sediment removed during dredging operations is required to be screened; separating the sediment from debris. After work areas are cleared and approved, the screened sediment shall be backfilled into the excavated holes within the work area limits to an elevation no higher than -16 feet MLT. The backfilled sediment shall not contain any object greater than 4 inches in any dimension. The remaining debris, which was screened from the sediment, will be required to be transported to an approved off-site location and disposed in accordance with Federal, State, and local requirements. The contract shall ensure that a minimum depth of -12 feet MLT is provided for commercial navigation within the limits the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway while the channel is open for navigation. The contractor may choose to coordinate closures and re-openings of the GIWW with the U.S. Coast Guard to facilitate dredging and debris removal operations. However, the contractor must ensure that -12 feet MLT is provided to within the limits of the GIWW prior to re-opening the channel for commercial navigation. It will be the Contractor's responsibility to verify and maintain a safe and navigable channel throughout the duration of the dredging (underwater demolition and debris removal operations). A dive safe practices manual is required and shall cover all diving operations as summarized in NAVSEA SS521-AG-PRO-01 and Section 30, EM 385-1-1.
