REQUIREMENT: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE), Philadelphia District (NAP), anticipates a requirement for the repair of coastal navigation structure assets of the New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway (NJIWW) Federal Navigation Channel (FNC) including rip rap placement along the toe of the bulkhead at the Point Pleasant Canal for increased stability and repair of a degraded gabion revetment along the Cape May Canal. The estimated magnitude of this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. DESCRIPTION: (1) New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway (Cape May Canal): The previous proposed work under solicitation W912BU25RA013 designed a repair of approximately 500 linear feet of degraded bank stabilization along the Cape May Canal which is part of the NJIWW FNC. The revised design will reduce the length of the repair to approximately 220 linear feet and reduce the width of the structure’s toe into the canal. Currently, the bank is stabilized by a revetment composed of corroded and degraded gabion baskets and is considered failed. The repair work will include the excavation of sediment from below the mean high-water line (temporarily stockpiled), removal of the twisted-wire gabion baskets and associated stone, and placement of the rock mattresses. Grade will be met with additional riprap stone, the existing gabion stone, and sand, where applicable. After the armoring has been completed, the site will be stabilized and planted. (2) New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway (Point Pleasant Canal): The proposed work under solicitation W912BU25RA013 included placement of riprap along the Point Pleasant Bulkhead at the Manasquan Entrance, which is part of the NJIWW FNC. The riprap is necessary for increased stability and longevity of the sheetpile wall at a location with large scour holes and a history of erosion. The estimated Period of Performance for this work is 365 Calander days following the Notice to Proceed The anticipated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction.
