IFB Award for Shoreline protection at Camp Cronin fishing area and repair East shore Arm breakwater, Point Judith Harbor of refuge federal navigation project (FNP), Narragansett, Rhode Island.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing a unrestricted solicitation for Shoreline Protection at Camp Cronin Fishing Area and Repair East Shore Ann Breakwater, Point Judith Harbor of Refuge Federal Navigation Project (FNP), Narragansett, Rhode Island. The NAICS code for this procurement is 237990. The project is planned to be issued on or about May 30, 2014. The estimated construction cost is between $10,000,000.00 and $15,000,000.00.

The work of this project involves constructing an ocean shoreline stone revetment at the Camp Cronin fishing area in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and constructing emergency repairs to the adjacent East Shore Arm Breakwater of the Point Judith Harbor of Refuge Federal Navigation Project, also in Narragansett, Rhode Island. The existing shoreline and breakwater were both damaged during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. The shoreline revetment work tasks to construct the revetment involve excavation; furnishing and placing gravel bedding, stone filter materials, underlayer stone (up to 2,600 pounds in weight per stone), 2 ton stone (up to 2.2 tons in weight per stone), armor stone (up to 12 tons in weight per stone), cobble fill, crushed stone, and parking lot fill. Removing, stockpiling, and resetting existing cobble and boulders currently at the site of the work is required. Repairs to the breakwater will require the furnishment, delivery, and placement of new armor stone (up to 15 tons per stone) to replace stones displaced during Hurricane Sandy, and the filling in of existing gaps and low points along the breakwater. The repairs shall be performed to restore the breakwaters to their original profiles and cross-sections. The tolerances required for the placement of stone in both profiles and cross-sections is extremely tight. Repairs will require substantial moving and manipulation of both new and existing stones to achieve both the required interlocking placement and design grades. The revetment and breakwater construction site is directly exposed to ocean waves, wind, and tides, and work shall be performed in wet and restricted tidal conditions.
