Site work for a civil project in Cape Charles, Virginia. Completed plans call for site work for a bridge / tunnel.

As of January 5, 2024, this project has not yet been awarded. The project is expected to be awarded on January 31, 2024. Eestimated cost is between $50,000 to $75,000. The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to solicit sealed proposals to establish a contract through competitive negotiation to carry out the deployment of approximately 100 miscast concrete bridge tunnel sections at Cherrystone Reef. The project will consist of placement of approximately 100 miscast bridge tunnel sections at Cherrystone Reef located approximately 1.85 miles from the mouth of Cherrystone Creek. The contractor will be responsible for transporting and deploying reef structures to the marked site. All materials are to be available for inspection prior to and during loading (by VMRC staff). Structures not deemed suitable by the VMRC staff will not be deployed and must be taken back to the loading point by the contractor. For deployment, a barge capable of carrying the tunnel sections as well as a crane/excavator to deploy the sections overboard is necessary. Spud capability is preferred to place the sections deliberately and stay within allowed clearances to optimize the relief on the bottom. Technopref Industries is currently operating from Cape Charles and has dockage for the barge on site. Machinery and man power is available to load the sections on to the contractor's barge. The VMRC artificial reef program alongside Technopref Industries has approximately 100 miscast bridge tunnel sections ready for deployment. These structures are constructed of steel reinforced concrete and the dimensions are: o The width of the segment is approximately: 6'-8" o The length of the segment is approximately: 16'-3" o The thickness of the segment is approximately: 18" o The concrete is reinforced with Steel fiber and a rebar cage o Each segment weighs approximately: 12 US Tons The Artificial Reef Program's mission is to develop habitat for finfish in Virginia's Chesapeake Bay and coastal waters. This is accomplished by placing various types of structure on specifically permitted areas on the bottom of Bay and ocean environments. These materials may consist of specially designed habitat providing structures or various materials of opportunity such as steel hulled vessels and concrete materials. All structures used must be environmentally acceptable and approved for use under state and federal permits held by the Program. After placement in the marine environment, these items become artificial reefs, which attract finfish by providing areas for orientation, forage and protective cover from predators.
