The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration awarded the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority $6.602 million on March 19, 2026, under the Port Infrastructure Development Program (CFDA 20.823) to expand the Port of Ogdensburg's main dock terminal and associated berthing infrastructure.

The project comprises three components. Component 1 covers environmental reviews, permitting, engineering and design, construction management, and construction phase services including engineering support during construction, inspections, and punch list resolution. Component 2 delivers the terminal expansion itself: removal of approximately 1,505 cubic yards of revetment stone to prepare the site for drilling, blasting, and dredging near the shoreline; stockpiling of stone for potential reuse in constructing new revetment; construction of a new dock structure tied into the existing terminal extending southerly; installation of a 435 linear foot cellular steel cofferdam structure (or alternatively, a steel pipe pile design under evaluation) with a continuous pile-supported concrete cap relieving platform; installation of steel pipe piles to support the platform; and attachment of a fender system. Component 3 involves installation of a mooring dolphin system and associated dredging to establish a new approximately 100-foot-wide by 500-foot-long berthing area immediately adjacent to the new terminal dock wall structure.

Performance occurs at the Port of Ogdensburg, New York, with a period of performance running through January 31, 2029.

The project includes an approximately 435 linear foot expansion of the port of ogdensburgs main dock terminal along with installation of a mooring dolphin system and associated dredging necessary O establish a new approximately 100 foot wide by 500 foot long berthing area immediately adjacent to the new terminal dock wall structure. Activities to be performed the project will be completed in three components with the following elements component 1 environmental reviews permitting engineering and design and construction management final design environmental review construction contract bid development advertising evaluation and award process construction phase services engineering support during construction inspections and punch list item resolution component 2TERMINAL expansion remove approximately 1505 cubic yards CY of current revetment stone to prepare the site for drilling and blasting necessary to complete the dredging near the shoreline stockpile stone in the staging area for potential future reuse to construct the new revetment adjacent to the newly constructed dock wall. Tie new dock structure into the existing terminal and extend in a southerly direction. Install a 435 linear foot LF cellular solid filled steel cellular cofferdam structure that will be constructed utilizing approximately seven major cells and approximately six minor cells and will include a continuous pile supported concrete cap relieving platform running along the entire length of the expanded dock. A second design is also being advanced termed the O pile design. This design consists of 435 LF of steel joined pipe pile to form the outer face of the new dock wall along with structural piles to support a similar concrete cap relieving platform. Similar footprint will be disturbed in each option. The new dock wall will ultimately be based on one of the two designs mentioned above. Install steel pipe piles to support the concrete cap relieving platform. Attach a fender system directly to the face of the concrete relieving platform cap install mooring bollards along the facility. Design the new terminal structure to support loads of up to 3000 pounds per square foot PSF up to the in-shore face of the concrete cap with loadings being reduced to 500 PSF along the length of the 15 foot wide relieving platform concrete cap. Install a free standing pile supported mooring dolphin system approximately 42 feet south of the terminus of the new dock wall structure. The system will be comprised of a reinforced concrete cap supported by a total of six steel pipe piles that will be socketed into bedrock. Stabilize approximately 20322 square feet SF of the shoreline embankment area that extends immediately beyond the limits of the new dock wall by augmenting the existing stone revetment. Construct an approximately 2 foot thick stone revetment constructed using an estimated 1505 CY of 150 to 250-pound stone to create a final slope of 3H1V of this approximately 846 CY of revetment material would be placed below the ordinary high water mark ohwm. Conduct grading and excavation APPROXIMATELY3620 CY to achieve the final revetment slope. Install an approximately 42 inch diameter flared end reinforced concrete stormwater outfall within the footprint of the newly constructed revetment consolidating the two outfalls that presently exist on site into a single point of stormwater discharge. Component 3 dredging deepen the harbor via a combination of mechanical dredging and drilling and blasting to achieve the desired water depth. Drilling and blasting may occur throughout the 104 foot by 596 foot footprint but primarily within 24 feet of the bulkhead. Blasting is expected to be required prior to dredging of the till and rock layers which is present between 22 and 27 feet low water datum LWD. Conduct a pre condition assessment prior to drilling to determine the current conditions of nearby structures and implement mitigation measures as needed. Conduct a post condition damage assessment when drilling is complete. Dredge approximately 12600 CY to establish a new approximately 104 foot wide by 596 foot long non federal channel berthing area immediately adjacent to the new terminal dock wall structure. Deepen the portion of the waterway immediately adjacent to the dock wall 24 feet 596 feet to approximately 27 feet LWD with an allotment of 2 foot over dredge for a maximum dredging depth of 29 feet LWD. Dredge the remaining area 80 feet by 596 feet to approximately 22 feet LWD plus 2 feet over dredge allowance. Reuse the dredged materials from the new berth area as cell backfill if geotechnically suitable and or truck and place dewatered dredge materials to a suitable disposal location. Implement appropriate stormwater control measures to ensure proper stormwater management throughout the disposal area construction and use.
