DESCRIPTION OF WORK Required work includes maintenance dredging by hydraulic cutter-head dredge, in various shoals between Rocklanding Shoal and Richmond Deepwater Terminal. The James River Federal Navigation project is broken into three-segments that include Lower, Middle and Upper James River Shoals. The Lower James River segment includes Rocklanding and Tribell Shoals. The Middle James River segment includes Goose Hill, Dancing Point to Swann Point, Jordan Point-Harrison Bar Channel to Windmill Point, and City Point channel. The Upper James River segment includes Richmond Deepwater Terminal (RDWT) to Hopewell, and RDWT Channel & Berthing Area. From Rocklanding Shoal to RDWT Channel and Berthing area, the Channel is maintained to a maximum required depth of -25 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW). No widening or other channel framework modifications are proposed at this time. For the entire James River Project, one foot of advance maintenance and one foot of allowable over-depth dredging will be considered as part of the contract dredging pay prism. Advance maintenance dredging will be considered as part of the required pay prism. The maximum dredging pay depth is - 27 feet MLLW. The Lower and Middle James River shoals utilize overboard placement sites in the vicinity of the channels to place dredged material. The Upper James River shoals utilize upland placement sites to place dredged material generated by the project. The dredged material removed from the Upper James River shoals is expected to be placed in one of the designated Upper James River upland placement sites that includes RDWT, Willis Road, Hatcher's Island, Curles Neck, and Jones Neck. Annual maintenance dredging activities are estimated to generate up to approximately 2 MCY of pay volume for the Federal and non-Federal navigation project work. The Contractor shall be responsible for the following: dredging within the designated areas to the proposed required and allowable pay depths, maintaining an average daily plant production rate of 7,500 cubic yards per day on the middle and lower James River, maintaining an average daily plant production rate of 3,000 cubic yards per day on the Upper James River, achieve pumping distances between 7,500 and 25,000 linear feet for material placement, earthwork (spur and containment dike construction and management), discharging the material in the designated Government-furnished placement site. In accordance with the most recent version of Engineering Manual 385-1-1, the proposed IDIQ SATOC will include the requirement to replace spillway structures at several designated Government furnished upland placement sites.
