Site work for a water / sewer project in Highlands, New Jersey. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

8/07/2024- Amendment 0001 posted with supporting documentation. The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) proposes to perform maintenance dredging of New York Harbor, Sandy Hook Federal Channel. The dredged material would be placed for future beneficial use the Sea Bright Offshore Borrow Area (SBOBA), approximately 5 miles southeast of Sandy Hook Point, NJ; and/or at a nearshore placement site(s). The proposed maintenance dredging would remove approximately 200,000 cubic yards of dredged material from Sandy Hook Channel. Dredging would be required to a depth of -35 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) plus 2 feet allowable overdepth. The dredged material consists primarily of sand and gravel. The purpose of the proposed work is to alleviate the effects of shoaling and restore the authorized project dimensions, thereby providing safe and economical use of Sandy Hook Channel by military, commercial and recreational boating interests while providing future beneficial use of the dredged material. Based on past dredging cycles, it is recommended that the proposed work only be performed by utilizing a mechanical dredge with a clamshell bucket. Additionally, multiple ocean-going barges, tug boats and ancillary equipment will be needed to perform the dredging, transport and placement activities. The entire channel will generally not require maintenance dredging; only areas where shoaling has reduced the depth of the channel will require dredging. The dredged material would be required to meet all federal, state, and local criteria required by the government agencies having jurisdiction where the placement site is located. The Contractor will be required to commence work within five (5) calendar days after the date of receipt of the notice to proceed, and to prosecute said work diligently and to complete all work ready for use not later than ninety (90) calendar days after the receipt by him of the notice to proceed (NTP). The contractor is required to maintain an integrated production of at least 8,000 cubic yards per calendar day. The work is estimated to cost between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Solicitation for the subject project is expected to be available in June 2024, with bid opening in July 2024. It is the intention of the government to award in August 2024 and issue the NTP within fourteen (14) calendar days of the award date. Liquidated Damages of $2,789.00 per calendar day of delay will be assessed to the contractor until all work under the contract is accepted as complete. This is an unrestricted Procurement. *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document.
