The Norfolk District, Army Corps of Engineers is anticipating a future procurement for a Firm Fixed Price Invitation for Bid (IFB), Construction contract, for Skiffes Creek Maintenance Dredging, Ft. Eustis, Newport News, Virginia. Description of Work: The US Corps of Engineers, Norfolk District, is seeking qualified and experienced firms capable of performing maintenance dredging and debris removal in the Skiffes Creek entrance channel at the 3rd Port, Ft. Eustis. Entrance channel will be dredged to elevation -21 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) from station 00+00 to station 76+64; to elevation -18 feet MLLW from station 76+64 to station 83+53; and to elevation -12 feet MLLW from station 83+53 to station 90+67. Up to one (1) foot of overdepth will be allowed. All dredged material shall be hydraulically placed by pipeline into the nearby upland placement site, Fort Eustis Dredged Material Management Area (FEDMMA). All removed debris shall be disposed off-site per local and Federal regulations. The project will also consist of refurbishing the existing confined upland placement site by filling low areas to a minimum elevation of +34 feet MLLW across the entire site and re-establishing a 15-foot wide crest. Upland placement site shall be refurbished prior to dredging operations. Side slopes will be re-graded in accordance with the construction drawings. Definitive Responsibility Criteria: This requirement will use Definitive Responsibility Criteria (DRC) which are specific and objective standards established to inform the Contracting Officer. In accordance with FAR 9.104-2. These criteria will be used to assess whether the apparent low bidder can demonstrate the expertise and specialized facilities needed for adequate contract performance. The inability of a contractor otherwise eligible for award to demonstrate minimally acceptable experience as measured by the DRC may result in the Contracting Officer determining the contractor is not responsible. The Definitive Responsibility Criteria will be developed to assess the following work items: Experience in managing the disposal facility during dredge material placement similar to the scope of this project. Experience in performing earthwork at upland placement sites similar to the scope of this project. Experience in dredging and removing substantial amount of debris in subaqueous environment similar to the scope of this project.
