PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The U.S. Corps of Engineers Baltimore District is seeking sources for a jetty rehabilitation project entitled, Twitch Cove and Big Thorofare Jetty Rehabilitation located in Somerset County, MD. The place of performance is located near on Smith Island near the Town of Ewell in Somerset County, Maryland. The magnitude of construction is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The construction duration will be approximately 180 calendar days.

The scope includes repairs of both the North and South jetties at the western entrance of the Big Thorofare federal navigation channel. Repairs to the jetties will restore them their authorized dimensions at a minimum. The north jetty is 2,070 ft long, and the south jetty is 1,800 ft long. The jetties are authorized to have a crown elevation of +4.0 ft mlw, a crown width of 2.0 ft with the exception of the seaward 120 ft of the north jetty which was 4.0 ft, and side slopes of 1V:2H, except for the bay side of the north jetty which was designed for 1:1 along the landward 1,950 ft. There is a possibility of the need to dredge an access channel near the jetties to allow better barge access.

It is estimated that the primary contractor is to complete 90% of the work, and any subcontractor to complete the remaining 10%.
