THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, QUOTATIONS OR BIDS. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Honolulu District, requests letters of interest from PRIME CONTRACTORS interested in performing work on a potential design-bid-build construction solicitation for the Kaunakakai Harbor Maintenance Dredging, Molokai, Hawaii and Kahului Harbor Maintenance Dredging, Maui, Hawaii. NO SOLICITATION IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. Project Description: Kaunakakai Harbor Maintenance Dredging, Molokai, Hawaii: Project Scope: The purpose of the Kaunakakai Harbor Maintenance Dredging project is to conduct maintenance dredging by mechanical clamshell dredge to remove shoaled material within the harbor Federal limits that has accumulated over time. The maintenance dredging project is needed to restore Kaunakakai Harbor to its authorized depths [-23 ft Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW)] and ensure continued safe vessel navigation. The major elements of this project include: pre-mobilization activities; compliance with all applicable environmental requirements; mobilization, which includes preparation of temporary construction staging; mechanical clamshell dredging of accumulated sediments estimated at 35,000 cubic yards (CY); transportation and disposal of material to the Kahului Offshore Dredged Material Disposal Site; and demobilization, which includes the restoration of the temporary construction staging area to its original condition. Dredging layer thickness varies, up to 13 feet. Project Description: Kahului Harbor Maintenance Dredging, Maui, Hawaii: Project Scope: The purpose of the Kahului Harbor Maintenance Dredging project is to conduct maintenance dredging by mechanical clamshell dredge to remove shoaled material within the harbor Federal limits that has accumulated over time. The maintenance dredging project is needed to restore Kahului Harbor to its authorized depths (-35 ft MLLW) and ensure continued safe vessel navigation. The major elements of this project include: pre-mobilization activities; compliance with all applicable environmental requirements; mobilization, which includes preparation of temporary construction staging; mechanical clamshell dredging of accumulated sediments estimated at 158,000 CY; transportation and disposal of material to the Kahului Offshore Dredged Material Disposal Site; and demobilization, which includes the restoration of the temporary construction staging area to its original condition. Dredging layer thickness varies, up to 25 feet. The estimated period of performance is 18 calendar months for both projects combined.

For example, clamshells, scows, and barges must be watertight and able to ensure minimal return water from the construction activities; 3. Familiarity of dredging in wave exposed locations with often windy conditions, similar to the projects at Kahului and Kaunakakai; 4. Bonding capability for a single contract action of at least $5M and an aggregate of at least $10M by the interested prime contractor. 5. Small Business contractors must perform at least 40 percent of the volume dredged with its own equipment or equipment owned by another small dredging company. 6.
