- Description
- Pre-Solicitation for Deepening of the Port Jersey Channel The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to award a firm-fixed price (FFP) contract to perform dredging of the Port Jersey Channel, in accordance with FAR 15.101-2, Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Source Selection Process. The solicitation number for this project is W912DS-11-R-0001. The New York Harbor and Adjacent Channels, Port Jersey Channel, Contract No. 4 (PJ-4) Project consists of deepening of the Port Jersey Channel to El. -50-ft MLW along the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners (PVSC) Outfall Tunnel corridor. The PVSC Outfall Tunnel begins at the PVSC Treatment Plant (Plant) in Newark, NJ and extends in a southeasterly direction beneath the Port Jersey Channel in Bayonne and terminates at the Terminal Chamber (TC) in Upper New York Bay. Within the Port Jersey Channel, the deepening considers the stability of the PVSC 144-inch diameter pipe outfall tunnel and the removal of overburden material during the dredging operations. The dredging operations within the Port Jersey Channel over the PVSC Outfall Tunnel will typically lower the existing mud line of approximately El. 44.5-ft MLW to a final dredging depth of El. -52.0-ft MLW. The design of protective measures for the PVSC Outfall Tunnel includes installing a 5-inch thick steel plate over the Outfall Tunnel in order to protect the tunnel and provide additional overburden weight. The plate is extended a minimum of 15 feet beyond centerline of the Outfall Tunnel for a total length of 30 ft. The top of the plate, after final construction, will be at El. -52.0-ft MWL or below. The non-rock materials suitable for the HARS placement will be placed at the designated HARS site. The non-rock materials unsuitable for the HARS placement will be placed at an Upland Placement Facility and/or at the Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey located at the entrance of Elizabeth Channel. The scope of work also includes the sampling and testing of subsurface materials if needed. It is anticipated that construction would take place within 270 days, including options. The work, including any option/s, is estimated to cost between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000.
