TITLE:  Dyke Marsh Phase I Rehabilitation

This proposed procurement is 100% Small Business Set Aside; NAICS 237990 "Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction" with a size standard of $45,000,000.00.

Project Description:  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District (NAB), has been tasked to solicit for and award construction services for the Dyke Marsh Phase I Rehabilitation.  The proposed project will be a competitive, firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract procured in accordance with FAR 14, Sealed Bidding, under an Invitation for Bid Process.

The overall goal of the project is to protect and stabilize the tidal freshwater marsh and other associated wetland habitats that have been lost or impacted in the Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve on the Potomac River in Virginia.  The project will protect the productive emergent wetlands that were dredged or lost to subsequent erosion.  The project also seeks to maintain the integrity and health of the existing marsh.  Once completed, the project will allow the dynamic tidal freshwater Dyke Marsh Preserve to function, provide ecosystem services and wildlife habitat, and offer recreation opportunities. 

The scope of work consists of the rehabilitation of the sill that was constructed in the Phase 1 portion of the Project. The rehabilitation will consist of first removing R4 size stone from the top of the existing Phase 1 Sill to elevation 0.0’ and to place this stone at the bayside toe of slope to provide scour protection. The rehabilitation will then consist of rebuilding a trapezoidal shape out of VA Class III stone on the portion of sill that had stone removed up to the elevation 3.5’ MLW.  The Rehabilitation will utilize the existing VA Class III stone in the trapezoidal cross section where possible.

The contractor shall furnish the required personnel, equipment, instruments, and transportation, as necessary to accomplish the required services and furnish to the Government reports and other data together with supporting material developed during the performance of the work.  During the prosecution of the work, the contractor shall provide adequate professional coastal engineering supervision and quality control to assure the accuracy, quality, completeness, and progress of the work.

The magnitude of construction is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00.
