SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00 21 00 - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS & NOTICES TO OFFERORS

The following have been modified:

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Quinby Creek Channel and Harbor Turning Basin are located in Accomack County, Virginia near the town of Quinby. A total of 7,200 feet of channel comprises this project which includes the reach into the turning basin. The Federal Navigation Channel begins in Upsher Bay and continues to within approximately 600 feet of Quinby Landing. The channel geometry along this reach is 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide. The next reach of the channel narrows to 60 feet wide. This reach is defined from a point 600 feet out of the harbor / turning basin and terminates at Quinby Landing. The harbor / turning basin’s surface dimensions are 200 feet wide by 400 feet long. The dredging work consists of dredging to a required depth of 6 feet; one additional foot of overdepth dredging will be allowed. It is estimated that approximately 143,000 cubic yards of maintenance dredged material, to include allowable overdepth, will be removed. All dredging depths are referenced to Mean Lower Low Water. Hydraulic pipeline dredging will be required to complete the project. Dredged material will be placed at a near shore and overboard placement area adjacent to the channel. One United States Coast Guard Tri-leg warning beacon will be removed. All superstructure and pilings will be removed and properly disposed of. Piles will NOT be permitted to be cut-off.

The Contractor shall comply with the provisions of EM 385-1-1. If the Contractor is a currently accepted participant in the Dredging Contractors of America (DCA)/United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Dredging Safety Management Program (DSMP), as determined by the DCA/USACE Joint Committee, and holds a current valid Certificate of Compliance for both the Contractor Program and the Dredge(s) to be used to perform the work under this contract, the Contractor may, in lieu of the submission of an Accident Prevention Plan (APP),

(1) make available for review, upon request, the Contractor’s current Safety Management System (SMS) documentation,

(2) submit to the Contracting Officer the current valid Company Certificate of Compliance for its SMS,

(3) Submit the current dredge(s) Certificate of Compliance based on third party audit, and submit for review and acceptance, site-specific addenda to the SMS as specified in the solicitation.

The signed and notarized certifications shall be accompanied by US Coast Guard certified documentation or other recognized authority indicating the weight and horsepower of the plant and verification documentation that indicates on which projects the plant has been used to dredge similar material in an ocean environment and at a production rate sufficient to accomplish the work as scheduled for this contract. The plant to be employed on the work in the Quinby Channel must meet, as a minimum, the following requirements:

A. Hydraulic pipeline dredge with a minimum plant weight of 150,000 pounds and a minimum of 1,000 horsepower continuous to the pump.
