- Description
- The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) proposes to perform maintenance dredging of portions of the Newark Bay, New Jersey, and New York & New Jersey Harbor - Newark Bay, Federal Navigation Projects. The dredged material would be processed and subsequently transported to and placed at a contractor furnished, State permitted upland placement site(s). The proposed maintenance dredging would remove approximately 280,000 cubic yards (CY) of selected critical shoals from the Main and / or Port Newark Channels of Newark Bay. Dredging in these channels would be required to a depth of -38 feet and / or -40 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) plus 1 foot allowable overdepth. In addition, approximately 250,000 CY of selected shoals from the Main and / or Port Elizabeth Channels of Newark Bay would be required. Dredging in these channels would be required to a depth of -50 feet MLLW plus 1 foot allowable overdepth. A total of approximately 530,000 CY of dredged material (the majority of which is expected to be the basic work, and the remaining quantity would be an option(s)) would be required to be removed. The dredged material is expected to consist primarily of silt and clay. 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 barges and tug boats will be needed to perform the work during the dredging, dewatering 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 placement site is located. All necessary permits required for the dredged material placement will be provided by the contractor to the government. 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 placement of dredged material, and shall submit evidence of such permits and approvals to the government. 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 2,250 cubic yards per calendar day for the dredging, transfer, transportation, dewatering and / or other processing, 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 July 2017 and February 2018. The work is estimated to cost between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. The following is a confidential survey questionnaire designed to apprise USACE of prospective dredging contractors' project execution capabilities. Please provide your response to the following questions. All questions are in regard to the Newark Bay maintenance dredging project. General 1)Have you ever worked on dredging jobs similar in nature to this project? If so, please describe the project and for whom the work was performed. Identify a point of contact and phone number, if possible. 2)What percentage of work (volume of material dredged, transported, dewatered processed, and ultimately placed) can you perform with your own equipment or equipment owned by another small dredging contractor? 3)Have you performed dredging within the waters of the Port of New York and New Jersey? 4)Would you be willing to bid on the project previously described? If the answer is No, please explain why not? 5)Would you be bidding on this project as a sole contractor, prime contractor with subcontractor(s) or as a joint venture? 6)Is there a dollar limit on the size contract that you would bid? 7)What is the largest dredging contract, in dollars, on which you were the prime contractor? 8)What is your bonding capacity per contract? What is your total bonding capacity? Equipment 9)What type of dredge equipment do you own and / or operate that is suitable for the work described? Do you own a closed environmental clamshell bucket? Please list each piece of equipment capable of performing each type of work described, i.e. dredging, transfer, transportation, dewatering and/or other processing, and final placement of the material. 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 (tug, scows, etc), you would employ on this project. Also, for each dredge, identify the digging depth. 11)How many material scows do you have available for use? Please list the name of the scow, its type, and the capacity. 12)Do you have experience with the placement of dredged material at upland placement sites? 13)Please list any history with the dredging of non-HARS material. Also list the processing and placement sites used to place the material.
