DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The project is to perform maintenance dredging and breakwater repairs at Aurora and Harris Harbors in Juneau, Alaska. The work consists of pre- and post-dredge surveys, maintenance dredging and in-water disposal of an estimated 25,000 cubic yards of dredge material from Aurora and Harris Harbors. Project depth is -12 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) and the shoaled material generally consists of silty sand with gravel. The in-water placement site is in Gastineau Channel about 3 miles from Aurora and Harris Harbors, near Douglas Harbor. The work period for the in-water maintenance dredging is anticipated to be 15 October 2020 through 15 February 2021 for Harris Harbor and 15 October 2020 through 31 December 2020 for Aurora Harbor. This project also includes replacement of a wave barrier on the main breakwater at Aurora Harbor and repairs to the breakwater of Harris Harbor. The Aurora Harbor wave barrier is a wood and steel structure approximately 1500 feet in length on a detached breakwater. The work consists of removing the remains of the existing steel pile and timber wall. Piles will either be pulled with a vibratory pile hammer or cut off at the bottom of the existing armor stone layer. A new wave barrier wall of similar construction will be built with approximately 250 H-piles driven about 24 feet to elevation -12 feet MLLW and the placement of creosote treated timbers in between the piles. The Harris Harbor breakwater is 1540 feet long and has suffered the loss of armor stone, primarily near the nose. A new two-layer system of B-rock and armor rock (A-rock) will be placed to repair voids in armor stone coverage. The work period for the wave barrier and breakwater repairs is also anticipated to be 15 October 2019 through 30 June 2020. The Contractor is to furnish all labor, equipment, supplies, materials, supervision, and other items/services necessary to accomplish the work. The Contractor shall comply with commercial and industry standards as well as all applicable Federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and procedures. The estimated magnitude of construction is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.

The requirement for the submission of both performance and payment bonds, in an amount equivalent to 100% of the award price shall be applicable.
