- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing this Sources Sought Announcement for a construction project at the Muddy River in Boston and Brookline, Massachusetts to determine the interest, availability, and capability of 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned, Women-Owned and Small Business concerns as described below. The NAICS code for this procurement is 237990. The estimated construction cost is between $25,000,000.00 and $35,000,000.00. The project is planned to be issued on or about December 2017 and will extend over a 3-year period. The location of the work to be performed under this contract shall be in and along the Muddy River from Leverett Pond to Boylston Street in Boston and Brookline, Massachusetts. The project scope of work consists of dredging 1 to 5 feet of sediment from the bottom of the river to construct the Flood Risk Management channel, stabilizing the material for transport, and trucking the material for disposal in landfills. The estimated total quantity of material removal is about 100,000cy. To accomplish this construction will require dewatering sections of the Muddy River using sheet pile cofferdams; pump systems to divert the river's flow; construction of temporary access roads along the river bank; removal and control of phragmites along the river edges; and dredging of and stabilizing the material for transport. Some of the dredging may be possible without dewatering. Included as part of this work is the construction of a flood protection wall and subsurface pumping station at the Boston Fire Department Building. To avoid impacts to aquatic resources, environmental windows of 1 April to 15 June and 15 September to 1 November of any year has been set for the project. The management of anadromous fish (blueback herring) such that the adults are allowed to migrate upstream to spawn during the spring environmental window and the juveniles to migrate downstream to mature in the ocean during the fall environmental window is required. Due to the urban setting of the project location, extensive management of pedestrian and vehicular traffic at construction access points and at each work areas is required to minimize impacts to the roadways and parkland system and to ensure the safety of the public. The Contractor will have limited work area with very limited access. Extensive coordination with the Government, local project Sponsors, and the authorities having jurisdiction of the roadways will be required. The project is set within and part of the Historic Frederick Law Olmsted's "Emerald Necklace" park system and is listed in National Register of Historic Places. Part of the work to construct the deepened channel in the Muddy River is to restore and stabilize the banks after the removal of sediment. The restoration consists of stone protection, turf reinforcement mattress (TRM), and plantings consistent with the historic standards of the park.
