SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.1.1 Project Location

Block Island is an 11 square mile island located approximately 10 miles south of Rhode Island. The Harbor of Refuge, or "Old Harbor," is located on the eastern shore of the Island in New Shoreham, Rhode Island. The Harbor of Refuge Federal Navigation Project (FNP) was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 11, 1870, and modified by the Acts of August 2, 1882, July 25, 1912, and August 5, 1986.

The harbor was created by the construction of two breakwaters. The eastern breakwater is approximately 1,600 feet long, and the west breakwater is a dog-leg shape that is approximately 1,150 feet long. The project includes a 15-foot entrance channel, anchorage, and basin area. The channel is 1500 feet long and 140 feet wide. The inner harbor contains a 15 acre anchorage area and a large ferry terminal. A two acre basin, known as the inner basin, is located at the landward (southern) end of the channel, and contains piers for loading and offloading cargo and for docking commercial fishing vessels.

1.1.2 Project Description

The general description below is given to indicate the approximate scope of this project only. It does not limit the work required under the project drawings and specifications.

The work of this project consists of maintenance dredging of the 15-foot Inner Channel, Basin, and Anchorage, with disposal at the Rhode Island Sound Disposal Site (RISDS) and the Crescent Beach Near Shore Disposal Site. All dredging shall be accomplished by mechanical means. The Contractor can use a standard clamshell bucket or open excavator bucket for all material being dredged and placed at the Crescent Beach Near Shore Disposal Site. The Contractor shall use a closed bucket for all material dredged and placed at the Rhode Island Sound Disposal Site.

The Contractor shall execute the work diligently and maintain a dredging production rate, based on working 24 hours per day and 7 days per week, of not less than 17,000 cubic yards for each 30 calendar day period of actual dredging work at the site.

1.1.3 Bulkhead Repair Record Drawings

Record drawings for a bulkhead repair project completed at the Block Island Harbor of Refuge in 2012 are attached at the end of the specifications.

These drawings show the final configuration of the completed bulkhead and related items, and the proximity of these features to areas to be dredged as part of this contract.
