Construction Services for Repairs to the Menemsha Creek Jetties, Chilmark, Martha's Vineyard, MA.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing a Small
Business Set Aside solicitation for Repairs to the East and West Jetty of
Menemsha Creek Federal Navigation Project, Martha's Vineyard, MA. The
project is planned to be issued on or about August 25, 2014. The estimated construction cost is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00.
The work of this project consists of repairing both the east and west jetty at
the entrance of Menemsha Harbor which were damaged during Hurricane
Sandy. The Menemsha Creek Federal Navigation Project (FNP) is located on
the Northwestern side of Martha's Vineyard in Vineyard Sound approximately
13 miles Southwest of Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and 38 miles East of Point
Judith, Rhode Island. The east and west jetty extend into Vineyard Sound
approximately 575 ft and 450 ft, respectively, and provide protection to
vessels transiting into Menemsha Creek FNP.
Specific work tasks are intended to reconstruct severely deteriorated areas of
the east and west jetty to authorized dimensions. These tasks include delivery
and installation of approximately 1,000 tons of 2-4 ton armor stone (in total)
to repair the jetties. New stone will replace displaced armor stone to fill in
existing gaps in the jetty. Repairs will require substantial moving and rehandling
of existing stones to obtain the required interlocking placement and
construction tolerances. It is expected that the contractor will have to acquire
stone off-island as no stone of the required dimensions is available local to the
project.
Due to the location of repairs and width of crest on each jetty it is expected
contractor will be required to work from marine plant at least a portion of the
time. Land access to both the east and west jetty is available. The completedrepairs will provide a crest width of 6 ft (west jetty) or 10 ft (east jetty) for each structure, and elevations ranging from of +7.1 ft to +12.1 ft Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW). The tide range between Mean Higher High Water
(MHHW) and MLLW is 3.14 feet. Construction is expected to last 4 to 6
months and be completed between October 15, 2014 and May 31, 2015.
