The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing a Sources Sought Announcement for improvement dredging of the Great Chebeague Island Federal Navigation Project (FNP) located in Chebeague Island, Maine. This announcement is to determine the interest, availability, and capability of HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and Small Business concerns as described below. The NAICS code for this procurement is 237990 with a size standard of $30M. The project is planned to be issued on or about June 2020. The construction will occur in the fall/winter of 2020 and is expected to take approximately 3 months to complete. The estimated construction cost is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The Great Chebeague Island FNP consists of a 10-foot-deep Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) by 100 feet wide from Casco Bay extending 1400 feet southeasterly to the town landing at the Stone Wharf. The channel would be widened to 150 feet alongside the wharf. A -8-foot MLLW by 200-foot long turning basin would be located at the shore end of the channel off of the wharf’s cargo ramp and would narrow from 150 feet wide at the channel end to 100 feet wide at the shore end. The proposed work consists of dredging approximately 40,000 cubic yards (cy) (including required dredge and overdepth) of mixed grained sands and silts from the 10-foot channel and 8-foot turning basin, including allowable one-foot allowable overdepth in both areas. The mechanical dredge will remove material from the channel and turning basin and transport the material in scows to the Portland Disposal Site (approximately 15 nautical miles away to the south). The available dredging window is expected to be between December 31, 2021 and April 1, 2022. The work will require coordination around the tide cycles. In order to accomplish all dredging requirements within the specified dredging window it is expected that the Contractor will need to meet a production rate of 20,000 CY per 30 calendar days. Environmental coordination and permitting has been completed by the U.S. Army of Engineers, New England District. Interested firms should demonstrate their project experience, by providing two (2) projects within the last ten years, which meet the following requirements: • Dredging by mechanical means in tidal waters with depths of 8 feet or less, demonstrating a minimum production rate of 20,000 cubic yards in one consecutive 30-day period. • Experience with transportation and placement of dredged material at an offshore ocean disposal site during the months of October through March. Interested firms should submit a capabilities package to include the following: business classification (i.e. HUBZone, etc.), type of equipment the firm is proposing to use on the project, and two (2) example projects performed by the firm in the last ten (10) years (including Points of Contact for those projects) showing experience with the proposed equipment at the production rate listed above. Please indicate the team subcontractor(s) (if any), including their prior experience and qualifications meeting the same qualifications listed above, which will be used to support the bidder's effort. Firms may use subcontractor experience to demonstrate experience with the requirements, but the role and work performed by each team member (prime and subcontractors) on projects demonstrating that team member's experience shall be the same as the role for that team member for this project. Bid bond will need to be provided with the bid. Responses are limited to twenty pages and due by June 29, 2021. Responses should be submitted electronically to kyle.k.hall@usace.army.mil. The Government will not pay for any material provided in response to this market survey nor return the data provided. This notice is for information purposes only and is not a request to be placed on a solicitation mailing list nor is it a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an announcement of a solicitation. The results of this survey will be considered to be in effect for a period of one year from the date of this notice.
