Emergency Object Removal Delaware River, Schuylkill River, and C and D Canal

The Philadelphia District, United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is requesting proposals for the removal and disposal of objects from within the Delaware River channel of the Trenton to Sea Deep Draft Navigation Project, the Schuylkill River Navigation Project and the C and D Canal along with its approaches. These objects are shallower than the authorized depths of the respective projects and hence pose a potential hazard to navigation. The exact dimensions and material composition of each specific object are not known, but the enclosed sample (0002 Attachment A) chartlet provides the estimates and descriptions of previous object removal efforts conducted in recent years in the Delaware River for offerors reference. In addition, an attachment (0003 Attachment B) provides a graphic map showing the three separate areas to bid on. Objects can shift and exact locations will be verified by US Army Corps of Engineers survey crews prior to removal. The government plans to provide these survey services in support of all object removal efforts. The period of performance of this Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) will be five years.
