NOTE: Bidders shall furnish unit prices for all items listed on the schedule of bid items which require unit prices. If the bidder fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required items, but does furnish an extended total or an estimated amount for such items, the Government will deem his unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended estimated amount for that line item by the quantity. IF THE BIDDER OMITS BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY ITEM, HIS BID WILL BE DECLARED NONRESPONSIVE. Award will be made as a whole to one bidder. All quantities are estimated except where unit is given as "job" or "each." If a bid or modification to a bid based on unit prices is submitted and provides for a lump sum adjustment to the total estimated cost, the application of the lump sum adjustment to each unit price, including lump sum units, in bid schedule must be stated, or, if it is not stated, the bidder agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the bid schedule.

The details of North West Tennessee Harbor can be seen on attached drawings. Material dredged from the North West Tennessee Harbor shall be discharged in Disposal A or Disposal B shown on attached drawings. Material dredged from the maintenance harbors shall be discharged into the river or be retained in disposal areas by retaining dikes and boxtype spillways as directed. PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.1 DREDGE 2.1.1 Size of Dredge The dredge shall be not less than 27 inch I.D. discharge. The dredge shall have a minimum manufacturer's horsepower rating for continuous operation as specified in the table below for each respective size of dredge. The yardages in the table are estimates and will be used as the basis to evaluate bids. The dredge inspectors will monitor the actual dredge output, as determined by before and after dredging surveys performed by the Government, against the applicable quantity shown. Failure to maintain that quantity will result in a reduction in payments in accordance with paragraph 00800-SP.18.g, unless the Contracting Officer determines that circumstances beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor caused the reduction in output. Dredging performed at Northwest Tenn. Harbor (item 0001 ) will require approximately 8,000 ft of discharge line with 53 ft. of static head. The suction head, head from friction of pipe, elbows and any other factors that effect pump production is not included in the 53 ft. of static head. During all times the dredge will be required to meet the specified minimum output in the table below. Plans with sections showing all elevations, borings and right of ways are provided. It will be the responsibility of the contractor to provide extra horsepower such as booster pump, larger horsepower dredge etc., if needed. If any of the following is needed the price should be included in bid item 0001's hourly rate. The discharge size will be considered to be the minimum diameter of either the pump discharge or discharge line, which-ever is less. Dredges larger than 27 inches will be considered but, the estimate output will be based on quantity shown for 27 inch dredge. Size of Dredge Pump Discharge (I.D.) 27 inches Minimum Continuous BHP Connected to Dredge Pump 3,900 Estimated Minimum Output Per Pumping Hour Cubic Yards 1145
The dredge ladder and spuds shall be of such construction and configuration that the dredge will dig material to a depth of 50 ft below the water surface without exceeding a ladder angle of 45 degrees from horizontal, and will make a 250-ft bottom width cut at a depth of 50 ft without exceeding a swing angle of 45 degrees to either side of the cut centerline. Spuds shall be capable of holding the dredge in place under the dredging conditions above in currents up to 12 ft per second. The dredge shall be capable of starting work and working efficiently at a depth of 12 ft. The draft of the dredge shall not exceed 9 ft. The dredge shall be of such design as to work efficiently and permit passage of other vessels while working in a 250-ft wide channel. A check (flap) valve will be located on the dredge near the discharge side of the pump. A flow meter and density meter shall be located on the dredge on the discharge side of the pump for the purpose of determining velocity and cubic yardage. The suction pipe shall have a device that will degas the dredged material. The sound level in the lever room shall not exceed 90 dB.

Based on information at that time we felt that the amendment provided us with the least potential for a protest. After our coordination tomorrow it is hopeful that we can a strategy that is acceptable to all potential bidders. More to come.

Norman, Wendell N MVM [email protected]; Clayton, Carlos E MVM; Protest of W912EQ-08-B-0001 Cutterhead Dredging on the MS River & Harbors Wednesday, March 05, 2008 2:12:44 PM Weeks Protest 030408.pdf
Mr. Johnson, Attached is a copy of the protest submitted by Weeks Marine on the subject solicitation. There should be an amendment out on the internet that postpones the bid opening indefinitely. Also, I forwarded the information for your FOIA request (i.e. bid schedule, data sheets, etc. for last years dredging contract) to our legal office. Thanks, Wendell Norman

Ken, In discussions with the potential bidders, they are indicating they may need 14 days (calendar) instead of the 10 days we discussed. They are afraid we will get several inquiries and end up extending the bid opening date a few days. Therefore, we probably need to plan on 14 days for the bidders to evaluate the amendment prior to bid opening. If your guys will get the technical portion to us a couple of days earlier, we should be able to meet the existing schedule. Please push them to get it to us by 2 Apr 08.
