BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT The New York District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (District) is preparing plans and specifications for construction of the South Shore of Staten Island (SSSI) Coastal Storm Risk Management Project in Richmond County, NY which will provide critical coastal storm risk management to the highly vulnerable communities of Staten Island. One of the major components of the project is a 22,700 feet long buried seawall/armored levee to be constructed along the Raritan Bay from Fort Wadsworth to Oakwood Beach. The focus of this Sources Sought announcement is the stone required for the buried seawall/armored levee component of the project. The buried seawall/armored levee is comprised of a trapezoidal shaped core structure with a 10 to 18-foot wide crest and 1.5:1 (horizontal: vertical) side slopes. A vertical steel sheet pile wall is to be installed in the interior of the structure to prevent seepage. The crest of the buried seawall/armored levee is to be topped by either a concrete promenade or a pile supported boardwalk, depending on location. The core of the structure is to be constructed with quarry run bedding stone and two-stone thickness armor stone. Approximately 892,000 tons of stone are required: • 549,000 tons of 3-ton median armor stone • 58,000 tons of 8-ton median armor stone • 285,000 tons of bedding stone The buried seawall/armored levee is anticipated to be constructed under at least two separate contracts which may have overlapping construction schedules. Estimated construction duration is 2021 through 2023. SURVEY OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR INDUSTRY The following is a confidential survey questionnaire designed to apprise the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NY District, of project execution capabilities of any prospective construction contractors and/or stone suppliers. Please provide your responses to the following items. At the end of this survey you will be asked to provide your comments. Please limit your response to no more than 10 pages. 1.
