Pre-Solicitation Notice

The US Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District, intends to solicit for marine construction at Grand Marais, Michigan.

Project Description:

Contract work consists of, but is not limited to marine construction on the Grand Marais Harbor federal breakwater in Grand Marais, MI.  Work is to be performed at the junction between the southern most portion of the existing east concrete pier, and the northern most portion of the existing rubble mound breakwater.  This section of the structure is located approximately 1,500 feet from the shoreline. Work to be performed includes the removal of approximately 300 lineal feet of the existing timber crib and all stone to lakebed and the construction of a rubble mound breakwater in its place. The rubble mound breakwater is to be constructed of three stone layers consisting of core stone, filter stone, and armor stone.  The armor stone layer consists of 6 to 9 ton stone. At lakebed elevation, the width of the structure varies from approximately 150 ft to 100 ft.   At crest elevation, the width of the structure varies from approximately 13 ft to 36 ft. It is anticipated that the contract will be awarded in late June 2012. The contract will include a base contract and 3 options. The base contract involves constructing 150 feet of the breakwater with each option adding 50 feet for a total possible length of 300 feet. Because of Piping Plover, the contractor is required to remain 250 ft lakeward from the shoreline. Therefore, all work is expected to be marine based.
