- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE for the purpose of obtaining market research only. No proposals are being requested nor accepted under this synopsis. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, will use information obtained under this synopsis to develop an acquisition strategy to meet the requirements for the maintenance dredging of Newark Bay, New Jersey, Federal Navigation Project. The intent of this synopsis is to access industry's small business concerns (including 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and all small businesses under the size standard, capability and interest in performing maintenance dredging of Newark Bay, New Jersey. All contractors doing business with the Federal Government must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), to receive a government contract. The website for registration is https://www.sam.gov The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) proposes to perform maintenance dredging of the East River - South Brother Island, New York Federal Navigation Project. The dredged material would be dredged and subsequently transported to and placed at the Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS), 10 miles southeast of Sandy Hook Point, NJ. The proposed maintenance dredging would remove approximately 367,000 cubic yards of selected critical shoals from the South Brother Island spur channel of the East River. Dredging would be required to a depth of -35 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) plus 1 foot allowable overdepth. The dredged material is expected to consist primarily of silt and sand. Due to restrictions found in the Water Quality Certificate, the proposed work can only be performed by utilizing a mechanical dredge with a closed clamshell environmental bucket. Additionally, multiple, ocean going barges and tug boats will be needed to perform the work during the dredging, transport and unloading operations. The dredged material would be required to meet all federal, state, and approved local criteria required by the government agencies having jurisdiction where the dredging and placement sites are located. Once the contract is awarded, the contractor will be required to commence work within five (5) calendar days after the date of receipt by him of the notice to proceed, and maintain an integrated production rate of at least 8,000 cubic yards per calendar day for the dredging, transportation and final placement of the material. The presence of dredging equipment in the channel will impact ship traffic, and it is necessary to maintain this production rate while minimizing the duration of this impact. The proposed work is anticipated to take place between October and December 2016. The work is estimated to cost between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. SURVEY OF THE DREDGING INDUSTRY The following confidential survey questionnaire is designed to apprise the Corps of prospective dredging contractors' project execution capabilities.

For each dredge that you list, please specify its bucket size(s), and any other salient characteristics. 10) Identify which dredge(s), including support equipment (tugs, crew boats etc), you would employ on this project. Also, for each dredge, identify the maximum digging depth. 11) Do you own ocean-going material scows? If so, how many? Please list the name of the scow, its type (ocean going, bottom dump etc.) and the capacity. 12) Do you have experience with the use of an automated Dredged Material Monitoring System (Black Box/Silent Inspector) or employing a Dredged Material Inspector (DMI)?
