CONCORD, Mass. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District will host a Small Business Industry Day for potential Hurricane Sandy breakwater/jetty projects on Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 10 a.m. at the Corps offices in Concord, Mass.
The purpose of this forum is to inform the small business industry of New England District’s upcoming stone work projects, specification requirements and to seek information from the industry that can be valuable in planning the strategy of restoring navigation protection structures within the Corps’ New England District area of responsibility. The District team will provide a brief overview of the projects followed by a question and answer period.
The District is preparing to repair a number of stone structures that were damaged in the region due to Hurricane Sandy last fall. Proposed projects are located in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
Upcoming breakwater/jetty repair work will involve transportation of replacement stone to the repair areas in the three listed states. Access to the structures may be by land or in some cases only by water. The combined cost of all the projects is anticipated to be about $60 million. The repair projects are located in Bridgeport Harbor and New Haven Harbor in Connecticut; Point Judith Harbor, Block Island Harbor of Refuge, and Sakonnet Harbor in Rhode Island; and Menemsha Harbor, Nantucket Harbor, Newburyport Harbor, Green Harbor, and Rockport Harbor in Massachusetts.
