Tybee Island Shoreline Protection Project Organization: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Savannah District Location: Tybee Island, Chatham County, Georgia Type: Civil Works Construction PSC: Z1KF – Maintenance of Dredging Facilities Estimated Magnitude: $10,000,000-$25,000,000 NAICS: 237990 – Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction Small Business Size Standard: $37.0 million 1. Purpose This Sources Sought Synopsis is being issued for market research and acquisition planning purposes only. It does not constitute a solicitation, Invitation for Bid (IFB), Request for Proposal (RFP), or commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. No reimbursement will be made for costs associated with responding to this notice. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, is conducting market research to identify contractors with the interest, capability, equipment, and resources necessary to perform the Tybee Island Shoreline Protection Project. The results of this market research will be used to assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition strategy, including the availability and capability of small business concerns. 2. NAICS Code and Small Business Size Standard The anticipated NAICS code for this acquisition is 237990 – Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, which includes dredging and surface cleanup activities. The applicable small business size standard is $37.0 million. For the dredging exception under NAICS 237990, a firm must perform at least 40 percent of the volume dredged with its own equipment or equipment owned by another small dredging concern to qualify as small for purposes of Government procurement. 3. Project Description The Tybee Island Shoreline Protection Project consists of the periodic placement (renourishment) of compatible beach-quality sand along the federally authorized shoreline to restore storm damage reduction benefits, reduce coastal erosion, and maintain the authorized project template on a seven-year cycle. The anticipated work consists of placement of dredged material along up to approximately 14,900 feet of the Front Beach and South Tip Beach at Tybee Island, Georgia. The project is located south of the Savannah Harbor Entrance Channel. Beach-quality material will be obtained from an approved offshore borrow area located approximately 8,000 feet to 20,000 feet from the project area. The anticipated work includes offshore dredging, hydraulic transport and placement of beach-quality sand, beach grading, environmental compliance, beach tilling, and other incidental work necessary to complete the project. Approximate total dredging/placement quantity: up to 1,500,000 Cubic Yards (CY) Estimated borrow-area water depths: -16 ft Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) Expected borrow material characteristics: light gray to light brownish gray, well graded (poorly sorted), fine sized sand with a shell content of approximately 8% by volume.
