- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing this Sources Sought Announcement for Federal Maintenance Dredging of the Mianus River Federal Navigation Project in Greenwich, CT. This announcement is to determine interest, availability and capability of HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and Small Business concerns for this project. The project is planned to be issued on or about June 2016. The dredging window, due to environmental constraints, is estimated to be October 1, 2016 to January 31, 2017. The project is expected to take several months. The estimated construction cost is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. This project consists of the mechanical dredging of approximately 55,000 cubic yards (cy) of fine grain clay and silt from the authorized 6-foot-deep and 100-foot-wide Federal channel, with open water placement at the Western Long Island Sound Disposal Site (WLDS), approximately 8 miles from the project site. The last channel maintenance was performed in 1985 when approximately 52,000 cy of sediment was removed. The anticipated dredge window will be October 1, 2016 to January 31, 2017. Dredging operations will be permitted 24 hours per day and 7 days per week. All scows will need to have equipment with tracking information systems to allow confirmation of the scows path to the placement site and where the placement occurs. Interested firms should submit a capabilities package to include the following: business classification (i.e. HUBZone, small business, etc.), a proof of bonding as well as what type of equipment would be utilized for this project. Please indicate your subcontractor team that will be used to support your effort and include their prior experience and qualifications. The Government anticipates including a definitive responsibility criterion in the solicitation and contract resulting from this market research. After bid opening, but prior to award, the apparent low bidder will be required to furnish documentation that demonstrates that the prime contractor or subcontractor responsible for dredging has dredged by mechanical means, within the last five years, a minimum of 25,000 cubic yards in a consecutive 30-day period in a cold-weather month (October through January) with disposal/placement at an ocean placement site. To assist in our understanding of whether the market can meet this proposed definitive responsibility criterion, please demonstrate in your submittal in response to this Notice that your firm has dredged by mechanical means, within the last five years, a minimum of 25,000 cubic yards in a consecutive 30-day period in a cold-weather month (October through January) with disposal/placement at an ocean placement site. We welcome your comments on the appropriateness and ability of the dredging community to meet this proposed definitive responsibility criterion. Responses are limited to twenty pages. Responses are due by April 18, 2016. Responses should be addressed to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, 696 Virginia Road, Concord, MA 01742-2751, ATTN: Ms. Alysha MacDonald, or via email to Alysha.Macdonald@usace.army.mil. Interested firms shall provide the above documentation in one original form and one copy. The Government will not pay for any material provided in response to this market survey nor return the data provided. This notice is for information purposes only and is not a request to be placed on a solicitation mailing list nor is it a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an announcement of a solicitation.
