The Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking interest from prospective bidders for a potential fiscal year (FY) 2024 award of the aforementioned project. The purpose of this synopsis is to gauge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of various members of the Dredging Community, to include Small Businesses, as the Government must ensure there is adequate competition amongst the potential pool of responsible contractors. The proposed project will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract. The Jacksonville District anticipates the issuance of an Invitation for Bid (IFB). No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to said synopsis or any follow-up information requested. The Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers is seeking feedback from interested bidders for potential project work which consists of dredging approximately 1.5 million cubic yards of beach compatible sand from the beach at the Canaveral Harbor Sand Bypass Dredging Area (SBDA) and transporting the excavated material to the Brevard County beach placement area (R-1 to R-53), located approximately 0.5 miles to 9.5 miles south of the Cape Canaveral south jetty. The SBDA is located approximately 0.1 to 1.6 miles north of the Port Canaveral north jetty and within Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCSFS). If pipeline is to be run across the Canaveral Harbor Entrance Channel, it must be trenched below the required depth of -46 ft MLLW so as to not interfere with navigation. In 2019, a five-foot pipeline trench was constructed at Station 141+00 to -51 feet MLLW to traverse the pipeline under the Canaveral Harbor channel. If additional material must be dredged to place pipeline in the trench, it may be side-casted within the Canaveral Harbor channel below the required depth or transported offshore to the Canaveral Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS). A Sand Disposal and Rehandling Area is provided offshore of the project fill area and may be used to temporarily stockpile beach fill material from 1 October to 30 April. Booster pumps used on this work must be equipped with satisfactory mufflers and/or other sound abatement devices to reduce engine noise. Construct a sound barrier landward of booster pumps in order to reflect noise waterward. Booster pumps will not be allowed within 1,000 feet of residential areas or commercial lodging. Conduct operations to comply with all Federal, state, and local laws pertaining to noise. Only dredges with a current U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection for the intended use of the vessel will be allowed to work seaward of the "boundary line" under this contract. Work on the beach may be performed from 1 November through 30 April. Incidental work includes beach tilling, turbidity monitoring, vibration control monitoring, and environmental species monitors. At the SBDA, there will be no vibration monitoring, and the 45th Space Wing will conduct daily turtle and seabird monitoring. The Contractor is expected to coordinate with the 45th Space Wing on a daily basis during construction. The work is located north and south of the Canaveral Harbor Entrance Channel in Brevard County, Florida. The Estimated Magnitude of construction is between $25,000,000 and $50,000,000.
