The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to award a single, firm fixed-price contract. The project consists of using heavy equipment for clearing and grubbing areas shown on the plans within the C-11 Impoundment project limits for the Broward County Water Preserve Area (BCWPA), Contract 2.1. For the CNT 2.1 clearing and grubbing project, vegetation debris may either be burned on site or hauled off-site for disposal. Due to environmental restrictions, open air burning is not allowed. All burning must be performed within air curtain incinerators. Ash from burning operations must be contained and disposed of off-site. Due to the high ground water table, trench style incinerators are not allowed, all incinerating must be done aboveground. The project site also contains trash and non-organic debris that may impact clearing and grubbing operations. The Contractor is required to only remove trash that directly impacts their operations or otherwise disturbing and leaving in place would cause further environmental impacts. Any suspected hazardous waste is not required to be handled or removed but prompt notification to the Contracting Officer is required. Construction operations must abide by noise restrictions to neighboring properties. A temporary fence with noise control barriers is required in the southeastern area of the project. The entire site primarily consists of an organic muck layer up to several feet in depth, which will make for challenging conditions at the site and may require specialized heavy equipment to transit muck areas. Protected species such as the eastern indigo snake, Florida bonneted bat, and various bird species are expected to be found on site. The contract includes requirements for qualified personnel to identify and observe such species, which may require relocation or a protected radius from construction operations. After work is completed, all disturbed areas must be seeded. A site visit will be held on Thursday, 8 August 2024, at 10:00AM (EDT). See 52.236-27 SITE VISIT clause for details.
