This document outlines a federal contract opportunity for maintenance dredging of portions of the Newark Bay, New Jersey Federal Navigation Project. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District proposes to dredge approximately 600,000 cubic yards of selected critical shoals from the Main and Port Newark Channels of Newark Bay to depths of -40 and -50 feet MLLW plus one foot allowable overdepth using a mechanical dredge with a closed clamshell environmental bucket. Multiple barges and tugboats will be needed to perform the dredging, dewatering, and unloading operations. The dredged material must meet all federal, state, and local criteria for placement at a contractor furnished, state permitted upland site. Bidders must provide all required permits for transportation, processing, and final placement within 35 days of notification as the apparent low bidder. Work is anticipated to commence within five days of notice to proceed and maintain a production rate of at least 2,500 cubic yards per day from August 2022 to March 2023, with an estimated cost between $25-100 million.
