SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00100 - INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0002

SOLICITATION NUMBER:

NOTE: BIDDERS MAY SUBMIT BIDS BY ONLY ONE METHOD: A) ELECTRONIC COMMERCE

(EMAIL) OR BY 2) PHYSICAL SUBMISSION. BIDDERS SHALL LIMIT THE BID SUBMITTAL TO

ONE OPTION OR THE OTHER, NOT BOTH.

Electronic Submission of Bids/Proposals (Email):

The New Orleans District utilizes electronic commerce (Email) for receipt of electronic bids under this IFB solicitation. To submit an electronic commerce (Email) bid please follow these steps:

1. Send an email containing your name, email address and bid/proposal to the following emails associated with the IFB (MUST include all emails):

katherine.b.younts@usace.army.mil jason.d.crockett@usace.army.mil

2. ALL BIDS SUBMITTED BY EMAIL MUST CONTAIN THE SOLICITATION NUMBER IN

THE SUBJECT LINE.

3. Once the agency receives your bid/proposal at the above email addresses, you will then receive a confirmation email stating your bid/proposal was received. If a bidder does not receive a reply acknowledging receipt electronically from the New Orleans District, it is incumbent upon the bidder to seek confirmation from the issuing Contracting office by phone.

Note: The size limit for incoming emails is 35MB. Any bid/proposal over this size may not be accepted by the server and will constitute the bid not being received timely. Please note that embedded links, URLs, and other html language included may interfere with the USACE server security, which may cause emails to be removed prior to being received by the contracting office. Bidders are advised to refrain from including external links, embedded links, URLs, and other html language not germane to the proposal/bid. Please note it is a bidder’s responsibility, when transmitting its bid electronically, to ensure the receipt of its bid to the proper designee at the proper time. See FAR 14.304(b)(1)(i) regarding untimely electronic bids. Please note, MVN’s computer system firewall may cause a delay in receipt of emails, so be sure to allow ample time for possible delay. If your email would exceed 35MB you can use one of the following methods as a work-around:

Use .zip files as attachments. Combine multiple files into a .zip file to compress file size prior to adding as an email attachment.

Send multiple emails. Label each email with same subject line and indicate number of emails. For example:

Smith Construction W912P823BXXXX (1 of 2) Smith Construction W912P823BXXXX (2 of 2).

Physical Submission of Bids:

Bidders may submit their bids by hand carrying or express mail to:

New Orleans District Contracting Office 7400 Leake Avenue Room 172 New Orleans, LA 70118-3651

Bidders are advised to allow adequate time to ensure timely submission of its bid. Traffic onto the New Orleans District campus may be delayed by trains blocking the entrance or security either at the gate and/or inside of the building. Express delivery may be utilized but it is incumbent upon the bidder to ensure bid delivery time and date is before the receipt of bid cutoff time. See FAR 14.304(b)(1)(ii) and (c).

RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS

SOLICITATION NUMBER:

Question One (1): Is this solicitation open to mechanical dredging with bottom dump scows as well as hopper and cutter-suction?

Response to Question One (1): Solicitation does not restrict equipment type to cutterhead but the contract has requirements which would make a hopper or mechanical dredge impractical. The Approach Channel has cuts back to the main channel. These turns will make it difficult for a hopper dredge to maneuver the corners. The project has a set duration. A mechanical dredge would have a difficult time producing the production rate for timely performance, especially considering the depth of water column. In addition, the presence of scows requires frequent handling to avoid any disruption of ship traffic in and out of the Port. The combination of geometry, required production to meet contract duration, and the need to respond quickly to Port traffic makes the possibility of a hopper or mechanical dredge impractical.

Question Two (2): Disposal of material can be at the nearest area with a depth deeper than 55’?

Response to Question Two (2): Disposal of dredged material is beyond the (-)55fft contour with no specific restrictions on limits of channel, both upstream and downstream of the dredging. It should be noted that minimal length of discharge line is more advantageous with minimizing Contractor movement of the discharge line for adjacent river and port traffic.
