This is a Scope of Work document for the Maryland Environmental Service (MES) outlining the excavation and transportation of borrow material for the Cox Creek Dredged Material Containment Facility (DMCF) Upland Borrow (UB) project. The project requires qualified contractors to excavate borrow material from the Cox Creek Uplands Borrow Area, transport the material to the Cox Creek STAR Facility, and perform stockpiling operations. The work encompasses furnishing all materials and equipment necessary to complete the excavation and hauling tasks. The document specifies technical requirements including soil characteristics, excavation methods, material handling procedures, and quality assurance standards to ensure the borrow material meets specifications for use in the containment facility operations.

The scope of work details performance standards for material excavation, including grain size requirements, moisture content specifications, and compaction standards for the stockpiled material. The contractor is responsible for site preparation, material segregation, dust control, erosion prevention, and environmental compliance during all operations. The work involves coordination with MES project management and adherence to regulatory requirements established by Maryland environmental agencies. The document establishes the technical basis for competitive bidding, with contractors expected to provide detailed cost proposals, equipment specifications, and project schedules demonstrating their capability to execute the excavation and stockpiling operations within established timeframes and quality standards.
