Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is soliciting bids for maintenance dredging of the Hudson River Federal Navigation Project at Haverstraw Bay, NY. The project involves removing approximately 200,000 cubic yards of critical shoals from the Federal Navigation Channel to a depth of -32 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) datum plus 1-foot allowable over depth. The dredged material will be transported to and placed at the federally approved Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS) located at the New York Bight Apex in the Atlantic Ocean. The contractor will be required to use a mechanical dredge with a closed clamshell environmental bucket and may also require the use of hopper barges, tugboat(s), and attendant plant(s) to perform dredging, transport, and unloading/placement operations.
Key points to consider:
• The project requires the removal of approximately 200,000 cubic yards of dredged material
• The dredging area is located at RM 35 - 40 of the Hudson River
• The contractor must use a mechanical dredge with a closed clamshell environmental bucket
• The project has a liquidated damages clause of $2,015.00 per calendar day of delay
• The government estimate for the project is around $20 million to $30 million
