PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The 2025/2026 Santa Cruz Jetty Repair project is an operations and maintenance project proposed by USACE to repair the West Jetty, one of two rubble mound jetties that protect the entrance to the Santa Cruz harbor. Santa Cruz harbor is located as the northern end of Monterey Bay, approximately 65 miles south of the entrance to San Francisco Bay. The East Jetty is 850 feet in length, and the West Jetty is 1,125 feet in length with the outer 250 feet turned 50 degrees easterly to protect the entrance channel and harbor from storm waves. The work includes the repair of the West Jetty and repairing the concrete cap/walkway on the West Jetty. Damages to the jetty includes displacement of existing armor stones. Damaged areas on the jetty with displaced armor stones must be reset using the existing armor stones on site or supplemented with new armor stones.

The West Jetty sustained damages during Winter 2022/2023. The ocean side slope of the West Jetty has no apparent geometry, with many armor stone displaced or buried underneath sand. Driftwood and cement debris are interspersed with loose stone from the structure. Interim emergency measures implemented by the local community (e.g. grout) are now unsupported and pose a safety hazard, sand has eroded from underneath.

The project will entail the following actions:

1. Mobilizing construction equipment to the site and demobilizing the same equipment at the conclusion of the project.
2. Rearranging existing stones on jetty slopes, as needed.
3. Importing newly quarried stone and rebuilding the jetties where stone is either missing or where the structural integrity has been compromised.
4. Repairing the concrete cap/walkway on the West Jetty.

The primary work consists of resetting existing stones, as needed, to achieve the required interlocking with the newly placed stones. The landward construction limits of work and the staging area are expected to be inaccessible to the public during the construction season for safety reasons. These areas are likely be demarked with orange construction fencing and/or signage by the contractor to identify areas that the public should not enter during construction.

CAPABILITIES AND QUALIFICATIONS:
Interested parties must have qualified personnel with recent knowledge and experiences as well as:
The capability to do the jetty repair, replace danger, project signs and aids to navigation and remove timber piles using appropriately sized equipment in order to complete all work within the contract period of performance
