The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District is issuing this sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support this requirement for Brevard County, Florida Hurricane and Storm Damage Reduction (HSDR) Project Patrick Air Force Base, Mid-Reach and South Reach Segments. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 237990 and $27.5 million. There is no solicitation at this time. This request for capability information does not constitute a request for proposals; submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary; the government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred. The purpose of this synopsis is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of various members of industry, namely the Small Business Community to include Section 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Women-Owned (WOSB) and Historically Underutilized (HUBZone) concerns. The Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of responsible contractors. Description of Project: Project consists of placement of beach compatible material along 16 miles coastline in Brevard County Florida. The project is broken into three segments: Patrick Air Force Base (PAFB), Mid-Reach, and South-Reach with a total combine yardage for all three projects is approximately 1.14 million cubic yards. PAFB is a 3.1 mile long project between monuments R 53 and R-70. PAFB project is split between two segments. The northern 1.9 mile PAFB segment (R-53 to R-65) will hydraulica place approximately 235,000 CY by conventional hydraulic placement with an average fill density of 25 cy /lf. Hydraulic placement south of R-65 to R-70 cannot occur due to the presence of emergent nearshore rock outcrops. Therefore, a stockpile area is provided between R-61 to R-65 which can be hydraulically stockpiled area up to 75,000 cy. The stored material can then be mechanically transferred via truck haul on the beach or A1A to build a continuous dune between R-65 to R-70. It is estimated that approximately 115 kcy could be mechanically placed in this area. The Mid-Reach project is a 7.8 mile small-scale beach fill project which begins at the south end of Patrick Air Force Base, approximately 16 miles south of Cape Canaveral, and spans 7.8 miles of shoreline between Monuments R-75.4 and R118.3 ending just north of the Town of Indialantic. The volume to place is approximately 280,000 CY with an expected fill density between 2 to 10 CY/FT. Hydraulic placement within Mid-Reach is prohibited where beach quality sediment can be attained from two beach stock piles: PAFB stockpile area and South Reach Stock pile area. The south reach stockpile area is approximately 8 miles south of the Mid-Reach placement site with a maximum and minimum distance of 11.6 miles and 4 miles, respectively. Both stockpile areas are able to be hydraulically offloaded and then mechanically transferred to the placement area along Highway A1A only. The South Reach is a 3.8 mile long project between R-monuments 118.3 and R 139. The South Reach can be constructed using conventional hydraulic placement via hopper dredge. The South Reach fill quantity is expected to be approximately 465,000 CY with an average fill density of 22.3 cy/lf that ranges between 12 cy/lf to 37 cy/lf. The borrow source for PAFB, South Reach, and the South Reach Stockpile area is Canaveral Shoals II. The Canaveral Shoals II Borrow Area is located east of Cape Canaveral, and is centered approximately 4.5 miles offshore of CCAFS and 8 miles from Port Canaveral. The rough order of magnitude is $20,000,000 to $30,000,000. The estimated period of performance is 245 days. Any work or equipment activity seaward of the dunes is limited to November 1 to April 30 (182 days) . Firm's response to this Synopsis shall be limited to 10 pages and shall include the following information: 1. Firm's name, address, point of contact, phone number, website, and email address. 2. Firm's interest in bidding on the solicitation when it is issued. 3. Firm's capability to perform a contract of this magnitude and complexity (include firm's capability to execute comparable work performed within the past (7) years: Brief description of the project, customer name, timeliness of performance, customer satisfaction, and dollar value of the project) - provide at least 2 examples. 4. Firm's Business category and Business Size -Other than Small, Small Business, 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, or HUBzone. If your firm is a Small Business, be sure you understand the performance of work requirements for your specific socioeconomic category. i.e. SB, 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, or HUBZone. 5. If significant subcontracting or teaming is anticipated in order to deliver technical capability, firms should address the structure of such arrangements to include Joint Venture information if applicable - existing and potential. 6. Firm's Bonding Capability (construction bonding level per contract and aggregate construction bonding level, both expressed in dollars) via letter from bonding company All responses to this sources sought notice/market research will be evaluated and used in determining acquisition strategy.
