Added: Jul 28, 2016 5:37 pm This Pre-Solicitation Notice is being issued by the United States Army Corps of Engineers - Chicago District to inform interested/potential contractors of the District's imminent issue of an Invitation for Bid Package for its construction project, entitled "CALUMET HARBOR ROCK REMOVAL, CALUMET, Indiana" PROJECT INFORMATION: The project is located at the Calumet Harbor, Indiana (Lake County). Calumet Harbor has dolomite existing on the bottom of the harbor that requires removal in order to ensure availability of the authorized depth in the channel. The average height of the dolomite above the existing authorized depth is 1.5 - 2 feet deep and will need to be removed to at least 2 feet below the authorized depth.
