Construction Project to Repair Hampton Harbor North Jetty

Hampton Harbor, Hampton, New Hampshire Maintenance of the North Jetty Feature of the Federal Navigation Project 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 3,320 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 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 to the period of 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 only for the launching of small work vessels. 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 of $36.5 Million.
