Z--INDUSTRY DAY - Mile Point Reconfiguration Project

THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT FOR AN UPCOMING INDUSTRY DAY ONLY. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Jacksonville District (Corps) will hold an Industry Day for the Mile Point Reconfiguration Project, on Thursday, November 13, 2014 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverwalk, 1515 Purdential Drive, Jacksonville, FL, 32207, in the St. Johns Room. The project consists of constructing approximately 4,000 feet of a new West Leg Training Wall, removing approximately 3,300 feet of the westerly end of the existing training wall to elevation -12 feet MLLW, constructing approximately 2,100 feet of a new East Leg Training Wall, and dredging the confluence area to elevation -12 feet MLLW and the Flow Improvement Channel to elevation -6 feet MLLW plus 1-foot allowable overdepth. All satisfactory stone material recovered from the existing training wall will be reused in the East Leg Training Wall. All remaining material will be placed and contained in the Great Marsh Island Placement Area (Great Marsh Beneficial Use Site) unless otherwise specified. Additional work includes clearing and grubbing, marine animal monitoring, bird monitoring, turbidity monitoring, and coordinating with the U.S Coast Guard to allow its crews to remove and reinstall three (3) aid-to-navigation (ATON) structures. The majority of this work will take place in an open marine environment subject to wind, waves, tidal and river currents as well as seasonal storm activity. It may be necessary to establish a stable work platform, such as jack-up or spud barge, in open water in order to perform the work within the required tolerances. The work outlined above will require large quantities of material such as tens of thousands of tons of granite, thousands of feet of Geotextile Tubes, over 700,000 cubic yards of dredging and 4000 linear feet of Concrete Structural Units (CSUs). A CSU is a standalone concrete structure that is designed to dissipate waves and redirect currents in lieu of large armor stone. A wall containment feature will be built behind or against the CSU's to retain the dredged material that will be placed into the Great Marsh Island Placement Area. The CSU type and the wall containment feature are not prescribed and will require submittals for evaluation/approval regarding their ability to meet or exceed established performance criteria. Experienced construction management and oversight will be critical in order to properly manage the workflow and sequencing of construction that must be followed in order to complete the project within the allotted performance period of 18 months and prescribed order of work. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME. However, there is a set of DRAFT plans and specifications that has been posted on ASFI for interested parties to review prior to Industry Day. In order to prepare a list of attendees of individuals participating in this Industry Day, it is requested that an e-mail be sent to contact@example.gov identifying the name of the firm, the name and title of those individuals participating, their telephone number and e-mail address. Please include a statement in this e-mail indicating whether or not Jacksonville District may include this information when posting and/or distributing the list of attendees. The Industry Day will consist of Opening Remarks, Technical Presentation and a Question and Answer period with participants.
