Amendment 0001

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for a construction project. The work of this project consists of repairing several sections of the north jetty feature of the Federal navigation project at Hampton Harbor, Hampton NH. The north jetty was damaged during Hurricane Sandy and subsequent storms. Approximately 2,220 tons of armor stone will be required to make repairs to 4 identified work areas of the jetty. The stones will vary in size from 3-4 tons and 6-10 tons. The work includes removing, replacing and reworking existing armor stone as well as placing new armor and core stone along the jetty. The contractor must be capable of maneuvering existing armor stone as large as 18 tons. The repaired areas must be properly interlocked and be within specified design tolerances. The crest width of the north jetty is 5 feet for about the first 500 feet (starting from land), widening to 8 feet for the next 300 feet, and widening to 10 feet for the most seaward 200 feet of the jetty. Due to shallow water depths adjacent to the landward end of the jetty, work at this end may be performed from land. Due to narrow crest widths of the landward end of the jetty, the remainder of the work requires performance by marine based plant. Protection of piping plovers and their habitat limits construction from September 1 to March 31. A storage/staging area will be available at the southern end of the Hampton Beach State Park (HBSP) from September 15 to March 31. An access way from the HBSP parking lot to the landward end of the north jetty will be available for the delivery of stone to the landward end of the jetty. Construction mats will be required to be laid upon the access way. Access to the boat ramp at the Hampton State Pier will be available for the launching of small work vessels (only). The estimated construction cost is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. This solicitation is unrestricted. The applicable NAICS code is 237990. Size standard is: 36,500,000.00. This is not a request for proposals at this time, the solicitation requirements and contract documents to include instructions, plans, specification and bid documents for submission and the response date will be available on or about August 3, 2015. Neither telephonic, mailed, nor faxed requests for hard copies of this solicitation will be accepted. The solicitation will only be available online; in order to download the solicitation, offerors must access the Federal Business Opportunities website (www.fbo.gov).
