The proposed procurement is Unrestricted, NAICS 237990 with a magnitude of construction between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000. The Government intends to solicit an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the maintenance dredging portions of the Craighill Angle and Swan Point Federal Navigation Channels which are located in a heavy commercial waterway supporting the Port of Baltimore. It is anticipated the work would be performed in the Winter - Spring of 2021 and would consist of dredging Craighill Angle to a required depth of 51 feet MLLW with one foot of allowable over depth and dredging Swan Point to a required depth of 35 feet MLLW with one to two feet of allowable over depth. The dredging involves removal of up to 1,620,000 cubic yards of material, including allowable over depth dredging. The material will be placed at the Poplar Island Environmental Restoration Project, Talbot County, Maryland. The equipment required for this work commonly consists of two 40 plus cubic yard clamshell dredges, one 24-30-inch hydraulic unloader, six to eight large tugs, six to eight 2,500 – 6,000 cubic yard material scows, and appropriate attendant plant and pipeline. The anticipated performance period for the above described dredging and placement should not exceed 110 calendar days from receipt of Notice-to-Proceed. In order to allow for proper drying/consolidation of the dredged material at Poplar Island, a dredge material placement time of year restriction of June 15 – September 30 will be enforced.
