Hurricane and Storm Damage Reduction Project, Port Monmouth, NJ, Phase II-Contract 2

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue a solicitation package seeking to award a firm-fixed price contract for the Hurricane and Storm Damage Reduction Project, Port Monmouth, NJ, Phase II-Contract 2. The project includes construction of a vertical lift tide gate structure and a 120-cfs pumping station across Pews Creek. The gate structure will contain two 24-foot wide by 19-foot tall vertical lift gates and will have a foundation at EL -14.0 ft NAVD 88 and operating platform at EL 46.5 ft NAVD 88. A third vertical lift gate will be stored at the site for use as a spare. The lift gates will be supported by a pile-founded, reinforced concrete structure consisting of a five-foot thick base and support piers. The gate will be operated by an electric motor-driven cable hoist system supported by the monolithic piers. A pumping station will be constructed along the west bank of Pews Creek and will consist of three 40-cfs pumps, pump bays, discharge chamber, sluice gates, flap valves, and trash rake system. A control building and a generator building will be constructed for the operation of the vertical lift gate and the pumping station. The control building will be nominal 11 feet wide by 29 feet long and will have a control room and an electrical room. The generator building will be nominal 21 feet wide by 27 feet long and will contain two back-up generators. Each building will be one-story high. An aboveground diesel storage tank will be installed between the generator building and the pumping station. On the west bank of Pews Creek, there will be a maintenance platform approximately 155 linear feet in length that will also serve as a levee. Any low spots in the Keansburg levee will be raised to EL+13.5 ft NAVD 88 from Port Monmouth Rd. to the pumping station platform. The maintenance area/levee will connect the existing Keansburg levee with the pumping station platform and will have 2.5:1 side slopes with a height that varies from EL +13.5 ft NAVD 88 at the Keansburg levee up to an EL+15.0 ft NAVD 88 at the pumping station. On the east bank of Pews Creek, there will be 154 linear feet of sheet pile that will serve as a floodwall and will extend from the gate structure to high ground at Port Monmouth Road to the north. The levee and structures will be constructed in the dry, thereby requiring construction of a temporary cofferdam, dewatering, and construction of a temporary diversion channel for Pews Creek. Unsuitable material within the levee, pumping station, and gate structure footprint will need to be excavated and disposed of offsite. Electrical and telecommunication services will need to be provided to the site. Additional project features include fencing, soil erosion and sediment control measures and wetland vegetation planting. This work will be accomplished as part of a base bid contract with options.
