The Contractor is prohibited from disposing dredged material at the SF-DODS after November 30 without authorization from the Contracting Officer or delegated representative"
The contract specification designated that material from reaches 11-13 are suitable for disposal at SF-DODS, yet the contract also specifies that dredged material is prohibited from disposal at SF-DODS after November 30 without authorization from the Contracting Officer.

If so, to what date will the contractor be authorized to take material to SF-DODS.
Estimated NTP date is around 09 December 2024.
Yes, Contractor is authorized to take material to SF-DODS after November 30 accordance with the 2015 Biological Opinion. The following paragraph is included on page 537 of the specification:
"Projects may plan work for the period outside the work window (December 1 through May 31) provided the project mitigates for its impacts by placing dredged material at a beneficial re-use site, such as tidal wetlands restoration site. If a project is unable to place all material dredged outside the work window at a beneficial re-use site, the LTMS Program measures allow for an equivalent volume of dredged material to be placed at a beneficial re-use site from a project conducted within the work windows during the following season."
The contractor shall complete the dredging work including reaches 11 through 13 within the performance period specified for the project.
