Chignik Harbor Breakwater Repairs , Chignik, Alaska

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. The US Army Corps of Engineers is conducting market research to facilitate a determination of acquisition strategy. The determination of acquisition strategy for this project lies solely with the government and will be based on this market research and information available to the government from other sources. This notice is an update of notice W911KB-17-R-0022-SS posted on October 27, 2016. DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The project is to perform repairs on the existing north and south breakwaters at Chignik Harbor which are 304 feet and 1,279 feet in length, respectively. Repairs will be made by placing additional armor stone on the seaward side of the breakwaters. There will be no demolition or removal of existing armor stone. Approximately 40% of the existing armor stone is deteriorating and disintegrating due to poor quality of the original rock. The majority of the deterioration is on seaward side of breakwaters and the repair plan is to place new higher durability armor stone in the most damaged areas. Due to the condition of the existing armor stone, it is anticipated that equipment will not be permitted on the breakwaters and that rock placement will be from marine-based equipment. There is no government furnished or designated rock source for this project. The existing rock was produced at a local quarry however due to the poor quality of the existing rock, it is not anticipated that the local quarry, if operational, will be approved for use on this project. New armor stone will be 3,000 to 6,000 pounds per stone with an average weight anticipated to be approximately 4,500 pounds per stone. The Government anticipates awarding a contract with an initial scope requiring placement of an estimated 4,000 to 6,000 tons of armor stone with options place up to an additional 4,000 to 6,000 tons of armor stone.
