The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is soliciting bids for the maintenance dredging of the Hague Basin at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York. The project involves dredging approximately 51,640 cubic yards of material from the basin, with 9,375 cubic yards to be dredged to a depth of 15 feet below Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) and 42,265 cubic yards to be dredged to a depth of 12 feet below MLLW. The dredged material will be processed and transported to a contractor-furnished, state-permitted upland placement site. The contractor will be required to maintain an integrated production rate of at least 2,500 cubic yards per calendar day for the dredging, transportation, transfer, dewatering, processing, and final placement of the material.
