This Synopsis/Pre-Solicitation Notice is ONLY A NOTIFICATION that a solicitation is anticipated and forthcoming. All questions regarding this Synopsis/Pre-Solicitation should be submitted in writing to the Point of Contact(s) indicated below.

The magnitude of construction is estimated to be between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The resulting contract will be firm-fixed-price.

PROJECT DETAILS:

The Government intends to solicit an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the removal of approximately 45,000 cubic yards (CY) of accumulated sediment from the Kenmore navigation channel located in Kenmore, WA. Dredging would occur within the in-water work window of 16 November 2020 through 1 February 2021. The dredging will be accomplished using a mechanical clamshell dredge and equipment designed to minimize the potential for impacts to the surrounding environment (e.g. excessive turbidity or re-sedimentation). Dredged material will be placed in a sealed barge for dewatering and transportation to a transloading site (location to be defined by the Contractor and approved by the Government). Dewatering of material will occur in such a manner to meet project water quality requirements in open water near the navigation channel. All dredging and dewatering will be performed in accordance with the best dredging practices and associated water quality monitoring plan developed for this project. Transfer to the disposal location will use sealed, non-leaking containers or trucks, in order to meet standards of the water quality monitoring plan and other regulated conditions. Disposal will be upland in an appropriate landfill.

***Note: Please see the attached files- the purpose of these specification excerpts is to provide potential contractors advance information to help form proposals and teaming if needed, as the upland disposal is different than most Seattle District US Army Corps of Engineers dredging projects.
