Please note that hopper dredging will not be permitted between September 1st and November 14th. This seasonal restriction is included in the 480 day period.
The Norfolk District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is seeking eligible firms capable of performing deepening (new work) dredging by hopper or mechanical dredge and potential clean-up operations with a mechanical dredge, in AOC. For Phase 1, the channel is being deepened to a required depth of -59 feet MLLW from the current maintained depth of -52 feet MLLW, over the full width of 1,300 feet and a length of approximately 9,800 feet. No widening or other channel framework modifications are proposed at this time. One foot of overdepth dredging will be allowed as part of the contract dredging pay prism.
