GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The scope of work to be covered by the intended contract is to perform maintenance dredging in navigation channels along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, Alabama, and Northwest Florida. The primary work location is intended to be Mobile Harbor; however, work at Pascagoula Harbor, Gulfport Harbor, Pensacola Harbor and Panama City Harbor are also possible. Work at projects other than Mobile Harbor is to address short-term urgent and compelling needs that do not warrant a separate contract. It is not the intent to preclude a separate contract for any of these other projects. All work will occur only as directed (assigned) by the Contracting Officer's representative (COR). If the Contracting Officer determines that the shoaling in the channels is greater than that which can be removed under this contract in a timely manner, contracts for additional dredges may be procured to work concurrently in the same general locations. RENTAL OF DREDGE (Bid Item No. 2): The work to be performed under this portion of the contract will consist of the removal and satisfactory disposal of all material lying above the plane of -52 feet (or as directed by the Contracting Officer's Authorized Representative), MLLW, over the bottom widths (full and/or partial) and applicable side slopes, at specific work location(s) all within the specified dredging limits of this contract. The Contracting Officer's Authorized Representative will furnish the specific work location(s) (in advance) within those limits of the project during the contract life. All material excavated from the assigned channel segments will be transported and deposited into the Gulf Open Water D/A as discussed later in this specification. RENTAL DREDGE PLANT: The work to be performed under this contract consists of furnishing and operating a hopper dredge with pump discharge of not less than 24-inch diameter nor more than 33.5-inch diameter complete with all necessary materials, supplies, labor, and transportation including fuel, power, and water for excavation operations as specified in the above paragraph. General excavation limits include the entire Mobile Harbor Project, however, specific locations will be as directed by the Government within the total contract limits. More specific dredge and attendant plant requirements are discussed in the solicitation. This procurement is UNRESTRICTED. The SIC code is 1629. Bid documents are available on or about May 6, 1999. Estimated cost of work is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. Requests for plans and specifications shall indicate in writing whether firm will bid as a prime contractor or a subcontractor. This solicitation includes bid options, which may not be awarded. All responsible sources may submit a bid, which shall be considered. Posted 04/20/99 (W-SN322278). (0110)
