This document provides details for a federal solicitation for maintenance dredging of the Raritan River in New Jersey. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, will remove approximately 500,000 cubic yards of sediment from two areas of the river channel to a depth of -25 feet Mean Lower Low Water plus 2 feet of allowable over-depth. Around 435,000 cubic yards of material from Area A will be placed at an offshore placement site, while approximately 65,000 cubic yards from Area B will be placed upland at a contractor-provided, state-permitted site. Bids are due 30 days after issuance of the solicitation on April 23-26, 2021. The contractor must commence work within 5 days of notice to proceed and maintain a production rate of at least 10,000 cubic yards per day for Area A and 2,000 cubic yards per day for Area B work to minimize vessel traffic impacts. The maintenance dredging is anticipated to take place from September to December 2021.
