- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing this Sources Sought Announcement to determine interest and availability of 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Small Business concerns for hydraulic dredging at Westport River & Harbor, Massachusetts. The NAICS code for the work described below is 237990 with a size standard of $18,500.00. The estimated cost range is between $500,000 and $1,000,000. The Westport River & Harbor is located in the Town of Westport, Massachusetts, on the shore of Buzzards Bay, bordering Rhode Island. The harbor is a coastal estuary with an inlet opening south into Buzzards Bay between a barrier beach to the east and head land to the west. The harbor has general depths of 8 to 15 feet below mean lower low water (mllw), while the entrance has a controlling depth of about 6 feet below mllw. The proposed project consists of dredging an entrance channel, 9 feet mlw by 150 to 200 feet wide, through the inlet to Westport Harbor (from RN12 to GC-23). The channel would connect deep water in Buzzards Bay with deep water in the harbor, a distance of about 9,700 feet, of which only three areas, totaling about 4,550 feet of channel r equire dredging. Disposal site is a 2,400-foot long section of Horseneck Beach located between 1,600 and 4,000 feet east of the inlet. The required approach is to place about 19,500 cubic yards of clean sand onto the Town-owned portion of Horseneck Beach , and working the material on the beach to establish appropriate beach profiles. A one-foot allowable over depth and side slopes of one on three are included in the channel design and quantities. Sediment Characteristics: The results of grain size analy sis indicated that the proposed dredged material is composed of approximately 99% sand. The sandy material is dominated by fine and medium grained sands. Sea State Conditions: from October through January, northerly winds result in calm waters inside marker RN-8. Strong southerly winds may produce 5 foot swells. Outgoing tide may produce currents up to 4 knots. Storm events may result in swells greater than 5 feet. The environmental dredging window for this project permits work from October 1, 2007 through January 31, 2008. Interested contractors should submit a capabilities package to include the following: business classification size (e.g. 8(a), HUBZone, etc.), projects similar to the work described above, and a list of equipment. Responses should be limited to five pages . This 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. Responses are required no later than 25 May 2007. Responses should be addressed to the U.S. Army Corps of En gineers, New England District, 696 Virginia Road, Concord, MA 01742-2751, ATTN: David Dilks (CT-C). Firms interested shall provide the above documentation in one original form and one copy. The government will not pay for any material provided in respons e to this market survey nor return the data provided. The results of this survey will be considered to be in effect for a period of one year from the date of this notice.
