The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District will be issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for improvement dredging of the Point Judith Harbor Federal Navigation Project (FNP) located at Narragansett, Rhode Island. This procurement will be 100% Small Business Set-Aside requiring a mechanical dredge to perform the work. The NAICS code for this procurement is 237990 with a size standard of $32.5M. The solicitation requirements and contract documents to include instructions for submission and the response date will be available on or about July 2022. The construction will occur in October 2022 to January 2023 and is expected to take approximately 2 months to complete. The estimated construction cost is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Any responsible source meeting the required standards may submit a bid to be considered by the New England District. The project improvements at Point Judith Harbor FNP consists of two features: (1) widening the existing 15-foot deep Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) 150-foot-wide 700-foot-long west bulkhead channel at the Port of Galilee by 50 feet for a new total channel width of 200 feet and (2) extending the channel northeasterly about 1200 feet at a depth of -11 feet MLLW with a width of 150 feet. The proposed work consists of dredging approximately 30,200 cubic yards (cy) (including required dredge and overdepth) of mixed grained sands from the 15-foot channel widening (with a two-foot allowable overdepth) and the 11-foot channel extension (including a one-foot allowable overdepth). The mechanical dredge will remove material from the channels transport the material in scows to a nearshore placement site offshore of Matunuck Beach, about 2.5 miles west of the Point Judith inlet, in waters 15 to 18 feet deep MLLW. The available dredging window is between October 15, 2022 and January 31, 2023. Point Judith is New England’s third largest fishing port. Surveys have identified a number of debris targets in the dredge areas including old mooring blocks, vessel parts, pipe, cable and other debris typical of a large active fishing port, all of which will need to be removed and disposed of ashore at facilities to be identified by the contractor. 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 15,000 CY per 30 calendar days. Environmental coordination and permitting has been completed by the U.S. Army of Engineers, New England District.
