Z -- REHABILITATION OF SOUTH JETTY, WLIMINGTON HARBOR, CHRISTINA RIVER, DELAWARE SOL DACW61-00-B-0005 DUE 041200 POC Jennifer McGivern, Contract Specialist, 215-656-6773 The Wilmington Harbor South Jetty is a 1,500 foot long structure designed to reduce siltation in the Christina River. Built circa 1935, it consists of 13 circular sheet pile cells varying in diameter from 25 to 45 feet connected in between by corrugated sheet pile sections. Each cell contains fill material topped by a concrete cap. Over time, corrosion has damaged the sheet pile cell walls such that fill material has been lost creating voids under the concrete cap. Work under this contract will involve removal of the existing concrete cap on each cell, backfilling of the void, and placement a new, thicker concrete cap on top of the cell to extend around the sheet pile such that corrosion of the sheet pile is encapsulated (approximately to a depth of 14 feet below existing top of cell). To further stabilize the jetty, underwater placement of a concrete revetment at the toe of the jetty (around existing underwater obstructions -- batter piles, etc) will be required. Note that the Contractor will be required to work around existing pipelines and access walkways as the jetty also serves as an active oil barge/ship offloading platform. As such, some down time will be required for oil offloading operations. Also remove concrete cap on each cell, backfill the void, and replace with new thicker concrete cap.
