Dredge Entrance Channel (FY26) CG Station Eaton’s Neck

The project includes all personnel, equipment, materials, tools, vehicles, supervision, and other items and services required to perform maintenance dredging (by mechanical means) of the entrance channel into the mooring basin of USCG STA Eaton’s Neck.  It also includes all efforts required for placing the material along a nearby shoreline and incidental related work. The total estimated amount of material to be removed from the channel is 6,000 cubic yards of sand, gravel, and cobbles and is based on previous years’ estimates.

Dredging work is restricted to mechanical methods.  Due to the scheduling restrictions in the NY DEC dredging permit, all dredging work shall be completed no later than March 24th 2026.  All work shall be accomplished in accordance with the project specifications (PSN 24014900), Department of Army Permit (NAN-2016-00301), New York DEC Permit (1-4726-00545/00022) (See Appendix A of the Specifications).  

The dredge spoils shall be disposed at the USCG STA Eaton’s Neck Beach Site per the USACE and NY DEC permits.  Additional work requirements are herein.  In the event that the post-dredge survey indicates that the specified dredge limits have not been met by March 24th, the contractor shall use the time remaining in the month of March to correct the deficiencies.  No work is permitted after March 31st due to permitting and environmental restrictions.

NOTES:  

1. Conduct dredging operations so that navigation through the channel is possible at all times.
2. Dredge quantity of 6,000 CY. This estimate based on an average of the past annual dredging.  The Contractor shall provide a cost for dredging per cubic yard.  That per cubic yard cost will be used for any necessary contract cost adjustment resulting from dredging more or less than the estimated 6,000 cubic yards, within the limits of dredge. Contractor will be compensated for actual quantity of dredge material removed and disposed, within the limits of dredge, as shown on the plan sheets.
3. Dredge disposal site location is to be at the USCG STA Eatons Neck Beach Site, as identified in ACOE Permit # NAN-2016-00301. Note that barge access to the eastern half of the Beach Site is not possible due to shallow boulders and obstructions. Accordingly, material placement in this area requires upland transport from barges positioned at the western half of the Beach Site.

The estimated value of the procurement is between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Performance and Payment bonds will be required. Solicitation packages will be available on or about 31 October 2025. The tentative date set for receipt of bids is scheduled for 02 December 2025 at 2:00 pm.
