- Description
- Maintenance Dredging of Raritan River, New Jersey, Federal Navigation Project Background Information The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) proposes to perform maintenance dredging of Raritan River, New Jersey, Channels Federal Navigation Project to a depth of -25 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) plus 2 feet of allowable over-depth. The proposed maintenance dredging would remove approximately 500,000 cubic yards (CY) of critical shoals from the Raritan River. The proposed dredging area is �broken into two dredging areas. Approximately 435,000 cubic yards of dredged material would be removed from Dredging Area �A� and placed at the Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS). Approximately 65,000 cubic yards of dredge material will be removed from Dredging Area �B� and placed upland at a contractor furnished, state permitted upland placement site(s). The dredged material from Dredging Area �A� is expected to consist of �0.0% gravel, 39.5% sand, 36.6% silt, and 24.2% clay. The dredged material from Dredging Area �B� is expected to consist of 0.0% gravel, 37.9% sand, 39.8% silt, and 22.3% clay. Due to restrictions in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Water Quality Certificate, the proposed work can only be performed utilizing a mechanical dredge with a closed clamshell environmental bucket. Additionally, multiple scows and tugboats will be needed to perform the work during the dredging, and placement � �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. 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 transportation, transfer, dewatering, processing, and final placement of the dredged material for the upland placement portion of the project, 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 of the notice to proceed and maintain an integrated production rate of at least 10,000 cubic yards per calendar day for the dredging �and placement of Dredging Area �A� and at least 2,000 cubic yards per calendar day for the dredging, transfer, transportation, dewatering and/or other processing, and final placement of the material for Dredging Area �B�. The presence of dredging equipment in �the channel will impact vessel 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 procurement method for this solicitation will be Invitation for Bids (IFB). �Project magnitude is greater than $10 million. �This project will be acquired as an unrestricted procurement.
