2.Bid item 0006 Includes All work for removal and disposal of fuel contaminated soil exceeding 100ppm within the Revetment Area. How much contaminated soil is anticipated? We recommend a Unit Price bid item per Ton as soil disposal is paid per ton and measured by weight tickets and would therefore be easily tracked and invoiced and should a variation in quantity occur additional or reduced tonnage would be easily addressed rather than a single lump sum for variable assumed quantities by bidders. We recommend 1000 tons as the intial bid quantity. The specifications call for screening, stockpiling and sampling (per 250 cy) and 1000 tons would provide a reasonable average unit price and allow for a substantial removal of impacted soil without delaying field work.

6608216 Contracting 35 20 23 Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

Given the shallow water leading into the facility and the small quantity of material to be dredged, dumping at an off shore site is extremely cost prohibitive. The cost of pre and post project dry-dock surveys of the barges used, and the cost of ocean-going tugs for towing are high, and the relatively small barges that must be used for this project because of the shallow water will make the cost per cubic yard excessive. The owner could realize a substantially lower price if the contractor were able to dispose of the dredged material in the Craney Island Rehandling Basin.

Please advise if this is a possibility.
