Amendment 0001_J76000-1 Std_Tal_L4 Final Report Part 1.pdf

This solicitation is for maintenance dredging of Cheesequake Creek in New Jersey. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposes to dredge approximately 9,000 cubic yards of sediment from the creek to a depth of -5 feet MLLW plus 2 feet of overdepth. The dredged material, which is expected to consist of over 98% gravel and sand, must be transported to a suitable approved upland placement site. A mechanical dredge with closed clamshell bucket must be used, and multiple scows and tugboats will be needed for dredging, dewatering, and unloading operations. 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 must take place between July and October 2020, with liquidated damages of $2,020 per day of delay. The apparent low bidder must provide all required permits within 35 days of notification.
