This document outlines a federal solicitation for maintenance dredging services. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seeks to dredge approximately 125,000 cubic yards of material from the Arthur Kill 50' Reach of the New York and New Jersey Harbor to a depth of -50 feet plus one foot allowable overdepth. The dredged material consists primarily of silt and clay and will likely require mechanical dredging with an environmental clamshell bucket due to water quality restrictions. Multiple tugboats and barges will be needed to perform dredging, dewatering, and placement operations. The contractor must furnish an approved upland placement site and obtain all necessary permits to transport, dewater, process, and place the material. The contract will be awarded in June/July 2023 with work occurring between August and October 2023 at an estimated cost between $10-25 million. Liquidated damages of $2,540 per day will be assessed for delays, and the contractor must maintain a production rate of 2,500 cubic yards per day to minimize channel closure impacts.
