CQC Plans Combined.pdf

This document summarizes a federal contract solicitation for maintenance dredging of Cheesequake Creek in New Jersey. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seeks to remove approximately 9,000 cubic yards of critical shoals from the creek to a depth of -5 feet MLLW plus 2 feet of overdepth using a mechanical dredge with an enclosed clamshell bucket. Dredged materials consisting primarily of gravel and sand will be dewatered and transported to a suitable upland placement site permitted by the state. The contractor must commence work within 5 days of notice to proceed and maintain a production rate of at least 1,000 cubic yards per day to minimize vessel traffic impacts. The work is estimated to cost between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 and take place between July and October 2020, with $2,020 in liquidated damages per day assessed for delays. Bids for the unrestricted procurement must be submitted online by the stated deadline in the attached solicitation.
