- Description
- Maintenance Dredging of New York Harbor, Sandy Hook Federal Navigation Channel Market Survey Background Information The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) proposes to perform maintenance dredging of the New York Harbor, Sandy Hook Federal Navigation Channel. The dredged material would be dredged and subsequently transported to and placed at the Sea Bright Offshore Borrow Area (SBOBA), 5 miles southeast of Sandy Hook Point, NJ or an alternate upland placement site at a contractor furnished, state permit upland placement site. The proposed maintenance dredging would remove approximately 250,000 cubic yards of selected critical shoals from the Sandy Hook Channel. Dredging would be required to a depth of -35 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) plus 2 feet of allowable overdepth. The dredged material is expected to consist primarily of sand and gravel. Based on past dredging cycles, it is recommended that the proposed work only be performed by utilizing a mechanical dredge with a clamshell 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 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 September and December 2021. The work is estimated to cost between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00. SURVEY OF THE DREDGING INDUSTRY The following confidential survey questionnaire is designed to apprise the Corps of prospective dredging contractors� project execution capabilities. Please provide your response to the following questions. All questions are in regard to the New York Harbor, Sandy Hook Channel 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, as a reference of relevant experience. 2) Do you have experience with the placement of dredged material at the SBOBA? Please list your experience. 3) Do you have experience with the placement of dredged material at contractor-furnished, state-permitted upland placement sites? Please list your experience. 4) What percentage of work (volume of material dredged, transported and ultimately placed) can you perform with your own equipment or equipment owned by another small dredging contractor? 5) Have you performed dredging within the coastal waters of New Jersey? 6) Would you be willing to bid on the project described? If the answer is no, please explain why not. 7) Would you be bidding on this project as a sole contractor, prime contractor with subcontractor(s) or as a joint venture? 8) Is there a dollar limit on the size of contract that you would bid? If so, what is that limit? 9) What is the largest dredging contract, in dollars, on which you were the prime contractor? 10) What is your bonding capacity per contract? What is your total bonding capacity? 11) Do you have experience using the USACE Resident Management System (RMS 3.0) for delivering Submittals, Daily Dredging reports and Pay Estimates? 12) Do you have experience applying the USACE EM 385-1-1 (Nov 2014) and all requirements? Deficiencies observed on site will require immediate attention and action to meet all applicable safety codes. Equipment 13) What type of dredge equipment do you own and / or operate that is suitable for the work described? Do you own a clamshell bucket? Please list each piece of equipment capable of performing each type of work described, i.e. dredging, transfer, transportation and final ocean placement of the material. For each dredge that you list, please specify its bucket size(s), and any other pertinent characteristics.14) Do you own material scows? If so, how many do you have available for use?Please list the name of the scow, its type (ocean-going, bottom dump, etc) and the capacity.15) Will you be able to meet a production rate of 8,000 cubic yards per calendar day with placement at the SBOBA or for placement at a contractor furnished, state permitted upland placement site(s)?16) 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)?
