The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing a Sources Sought Announcement for the maintenance dredging of the Green Harbor, Federal Navigation Project (FNP) located in Marshfield, Massachusetts. 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 May 2022. The construction will occur in the fall/winter of 2022 and is expected to take approximately 3 months to complete. The estimated construction cost is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Green Harbor is a small tidal estuary located in Marshfield, MA at the extreme northwestern end of Cape Cod Bay and 23 miles northwest of the Cape Cod Canal’s east entrance. The Green Harbor FNP provides for an 8-feet and 6-feet deep by 100-feet wide entrance channel extending from deep water in Cape Cod Bay to a point just beyond the Narrows in the inner harbor and a 6 feet deep anchorage area extending to the head of navigation in the inner harbor area. The proposed work consists of dredging approximately 60,000 cubic yards (cy) (including required dredging and allowable over depth dredging) of mixed grained sands and cobbles from the entrance channel and silts and some sand from the inner harbor anchorage area to include one foot of allowable over-depth in both areas. The mechanical dredge will remove material from the entrance channel and anchorage area and transport the material in scows to the Cape Cod Bay Disposal Site (approximately 13 nautical miles (NM) away to the southeast). The work will require coordination around tidal cycles. The available dredging window is between October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. Starting on or about November 1, 2022, some material from the entrance channel will be allowed to be placed at the previously used nearshore placement site located approximately 1 NM to the west of the harbor. All material will be required to be dredged and placed not later than December 31, 2022. 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 will be 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 9 feet or more, 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 December. 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 March 07, 2022. Responses should be addressed to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, 696 Virginia Road, Concord, MA 01742-2751, ATTN: Kyle Hall, or electronically to Kyle.K.Hall@usace.army.mil.
