STATEMENT OF WORK FOR
BOAT HARBOR MAINTENANCE DREDGING PLAN
AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN
AT VANDENBERG SFB, CA
Background: The United States Air Force proposes to develop a Boat Harbor Maintenance Dredging Plan and Sediment Sampling and Analysis Plan to support renewal of the existing dredge permit and to support boat harbor dredging at Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB). The existing dredge permit with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, Corps) expires in December 2022. The boat harbor has been dredged infrequently since 2001 to support the delivery of rocket components on vessels under the existing Regional General Permit (RGP) 71. RGP 71 authorizes dredging up to 10,000 cubic yards (cy) of sediment annually from an approximately 3.5 acre area in the Vandenberg Harbor to -10 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) plus a maximum two-foot overdepth allowance (for a total depth of -12 feet MLLW). The permit requires sediment sampling every three years based on the approved Sediment Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP). This project would support continued dredge operations beyond December 2022 with development of a Boat Harbor Maintenance Dredging Plan and SAP.
Project Description: The Contractor will develop a Boat Harbor Maintenance Dredging Plan and Sediment Sampling and Analysis Plan for VSFB to support the dredge permit application process and continued boat harbor dredging operations beyond December 2022. All parameters for dredge area, depth, disposal, and methods will be the same as described in RGP 71. Close coordination with VFSB CEIEA personnel is anticipated. Draft and Final Plans will be submitted and if needed, assistance with comments on the final plans by regulatory reviewing agencies/entities will be provided.
Boat Harbor Maintenance Dredging Plan The dredging plan project description will be based on the existing RGP 71 project description and will include maps, regulatory support summaries and appendices as needed (e.g. abalone surveys, eelgrass surveys). RGP 71 is available at https://www.spl.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/Regional-General-Permits/ More information from the previous public notice to support the new plan is at Corps website.
Additional supporting information will be provided by VSFB.
Sediment Sampling and Analysis Plan The VSFB SAP will be based upon USACE guidance https://www.spl.usace.army.mil/Portals/17/docs/publicnotices/2021%20SAPR%20Guidlines%20Special%20Public%20Notice.pdf?ver=HMcg4YYtWYYuWGjCN4DTqw%3d%3d Additional supporting information will be provided by VSFB.
Project Period of Performance The period of performance for this project is 12 months.
