- Description
- Pre-solicitation Notice: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District will be issuing an Invitation for Bids on behalf of the United States Navy (USN) for maintenance dredging of the Federal Navigation Project (FNP) in the lower Kennebec River below Bath, Maine. This will be an unrestricted competitive requirement requiring a hydraulic hopper dredge to perform the work. The NAICS code for this procurement is 237990 with a size standard of $30.0M. The estimated price is expected to range from $1,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00. The USN has a requirement for maintenance dredging to support the navigational requirements of Navy ships transiting the channel to and from Bath Iron Works (BIW), a private shipbuilding firm located in Bath, ME. This includes a requirement for dredging to begin on or about December 1, 2019 and be completed prior to the sail-away of DDG 118, a Navy Destroyer scheduled to depart BIW in March 2020. The work involves dredging of two portions of the authorized, 27-foot deep, 500-foot wide FNP in the lower Kennebec River. Maintenance dredging involves removal of a total of about 70,000 cubic yards (cy) of clean sand from two areas. Approximately 50,000 cy of sand will be removed from the Doubling Point area (i.e. just below Bath) and approximately 20,000 cy of sand will be removed from the Popham Beach area (at the river mouth). As part of this requirement, maintenance dredging will be performed to remove the sand-waves in the vicinity of Doubling Point to a maximum elevation of -32' below Mean Lower Low Water. Material dredged from the Doubling Point area will be placed in the previously used in-river disposal area south of Bluff Head in about 95-100 feet of water. Material dredged from the Popham Beach area will be placed in the previously used 500-yard diameter nearshore disposal area located about 0.4 nautical miles south of Jackknife Ledge and in about 40-50 feet of water. In order to complete this requirement it is anticipated that a hydraulic hopper dredge will need to be capable of a production rate (i.e. dredging and placement of dredged material) of about 100,000 cubic yards within a 30 day period. This is not an invitation for bids at this time. The solicitation requirements and contract documents to include instructions for submission and the response date will be available on or about September 18, 2019. Neither telephonic, mailed nor fax requests for hard copies will be accepted. The solicitation will be free and available for inspection online; in order to download the solicitation, offerors must access the Federal Business Opportunities website (http:/www.fbo.gov). Amendments, if any, to the solicitation will be made available at the http:/www/fbo.gov website. Registrants are responsible for the accuracy of the information on the FedBizOps Registration List. All responsible sources may submit a bid which shall be considered by the New England District. Bids are anticipated to be opened on November 1, 2019. Bids will be accepted until the date of the Bid Opening. The contract performance period for this solicitation is anticipated to be from December 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020. All dates provided herein are tentative and are subject to change. Additional questions may be emailed to the Contract Specialist at Sara.J.Torres@usace.army.mil
