This solicitation is for the Fiscal Year 21 Brunswick Inner Harbor Maintenance Dredging. This acquisition is being offered as an 100% Small Business set-aside solicitation and will result in a Fixed Price Contract Award. The magnitude of this requirement per FAR 36.204 is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.

Project Location: Brunswick Harbor is a deep draft navigation project located 70 statute miles south of the Savannah Harbor (GA) and 25 statute miles north of Fernandina Harbor (FL) in Glynn County, Georgia. The Inner Harbor channel of Brunswick Harbor is 36 feet deep MLLW and 400 feet wide through St. Simon Sound, Brunswick River and East River.

Project Description: The Brunswick Inner Harbor Contract provides construction services, including furnishing personnel, transportation, mobilization and demobilization, equipment and materials required in connection with maintenance dredging. This contract is traditionally performed with a hydraulic cutterhead dredge and the duration is expected to be two months from time of award. Up to 500 thousand cubic yards of maintenance material is expected to be removed from the inner harbors.

Brunswick Harbor Inner Harbor is generally dredged in late summer or fall and takes approximately two months to complete. The dredging in the Brunswick Inner Harbor primarily takes place annually in the East River which includes the East River Turning Basin and the Transition Areas (stations 0+000 to 12+000) leading up to the turning basin and immediately upriver of the basin. The South Brunswick River (stations 0+000 to 7+000) in the Brunswick Inner Harbor is the other area that requires dredging and is primarily dredged when shoaling become problematic to navigation but is constantly monitored for shoaling.  The Lower Turtle River (station 35+000 to 36+000) in the Brunswick Inner Harbor is another area that requires dredging at this time. Approximately 295,000 cubic yards of material is removed from the East River annually,approximately 20,000 cubic yards of material is removed from the South Brunswick River and approximately 300 cubic yards from Lower Turtle River when dredged. The maintenance material removed from the Brunswick Inner Harbor is placed in the Andrews Island Dredged Material Containment Area located adjacent to both the East River and the South Brunswick River.

East River, 6+250 to 12+000 project depth is 36’ with no advanced maintenance
South Brunswick River, 0+000 to 7+000 project depth is 36’ with no advanced maintenance

Environmental windows limit the timing of dredging in the Brunswick Inner Harbors.  Environmental restrictions on the Brunswick Inner Harbor include a Least Tern nesting window to where dredged material must not be placed in the Andrews Island confined upland disposal area between the middle of April through the middle of August.

The estimated construction duration for the Fiscal Year 21 Brunswick Inner Harbor Maintenance Dredging is 90 calendar days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed.
