About this file

This amendment modifies solicitation W912DS23B0023 for a federal contract to harvest sand from Houghtaling Island in the Hudson River. The contractor will be required to dredge and remove sand from the island for beneficial reuse. Amendment 0003 provides revised drawings and specifications, including a survey of the island's southwest shore and analytical test results from core samples taken in 2022. The amendment responds to questions from prospective offerors by clarifying that the government has no determination on the suitability of the material for construction aggregates and that registration as a small business is not required to participate. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of the amendment by the specified date and time or risk rejection of their proposal. The solicitation remains open for competitive bidding on the sand harvesting work at Houghtaling Island.
