Overview (Project Description, Location, and Scope of Work) The Sarazen, Ouimet and Hagen Canals are located along Reynolds Channel in the East End of the City of Long Beach. Due to years of sediment build up, the most southern 500 LF of each channel has become difficult to traverse by boat. The total square footage of dredging for all three channels that is required is approximately 135,000 SF. The City of Long Beach invites qualified consultants to submit a proposal which is broken down into three parts. Preparation of a technical report the Sarazen, Ouimet, and Hagen Canals. The report shall summarize the existing conditions of the City and privately owned bulkheads, survey of the existing conditions and perform sediment sampling of the channels. The selected consultant will also be tasked with preparing the permitting, plans, specifications, and contract documents to remove the excess sediments via dredging operations. The selected consultant will be required to prepare the dredging permit application(s) for approval by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), New York State Department of State (NYSDOS), U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers (USACOE), and Town of Hempstead (TOH) on behalf of the City. The permitting applications for the dredging work will require the information obtained in the technical report phase and diligent agency coordination. In addition, the selected consultant will be required to incorporate within their proposal the cost for Construction Administration Services. B. Background The Sarazen, Ouimet, and Hagen Canals have accumulated an excessive amount of sediment and debris. The sediment build up is primarily located on the southern end of each canal starting from the City bulkhead heading north roughly 500 LF x 90 LF or 45,000 SF for a total of 135,000 SF. In order to alleviate the issue, dredging of these areas is required to remote the excess sediments. C. Proposed Project Description and Purpose The objective of this exercise is to prepare a Technical Report of the existing conditions starting at the most southern bulkhead and traveling 500 LF north of each of the three (3) channels. The Technical Report shall determine the feasibility of dredging within the each channel and recommendations to be made to correct each channel for dredging. Obtain permits from the requisite regulatory agencies, prepare plans, specifications, and contract documents as well as to solicit bids to procure the services of a reputable contractor to perform channel dreading to remove sediment build up for Sarazen, Ouimet and Hagen Canals in the City of Long Beach. As such, the selected consultant will be required to prepare a contract for public bidding to allow the City to obtain fixed unit prices for channel dredging. The bid document will be prepared utilizing the City's standard boilerplate and incorporate the following: Prepare plans, detailed drawings, and permit application(s) for all regulatory agencies i.e., TOH, USACOE, NYSDOS, and NYSDEC. o All plans and detailed drawings shall be provided to the City in a format compatible with AutoCad 2018. o Specifications shall be provided to the City in a format compatible with Microsoft Word. o Respond to all comments from regulatory agencies. o Obtain all required permit approval(s) o Prepare Technical Report(s) a.
