The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District is seeking sources for a dredging project entitled, Herring Bay & Rockhold Creek Maintenance Dredging, Anne Arundel County, MD.  The place of performance is in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.  Material will be placed upland at an existing placement site approximately 3.5 miles from the furthest location of the dredging.  The Magnitude of Construction is $1,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00. 

The construction duration will be approximately 45 calendar days. 

The USACE Baltimore District, intends to solicit a construction contract for the Herring Bay and Rockhold Creek Maintenance Dredging Project.  The scope includes using a hydraulic cutterhead pipeline dredge at Herring Bay & Rockhold Creek to remove material to its authorized depth of 7 feet (plus two feet of allowable overdepth). Additional advanced maintenance (one additional foot) may be needed near the beginning of the channel near the existing jetties. Approximately 38,000 cubic yards of silty to sandy material are to be dredged. Placement of material via pipeline will be utilized. Pipeline distance will be approximately 3.5 miles for the furthest dredging location. The pipeline will travel through the Herring Bay & Rockhold Creek, up Rockhold Creek, and over tidal wetlands to reach the existing upland placement site. Earthwork berm repairs, including possibly raising of the existing berms, and weir box replacement may be needed at the existing placement site. It is estimated that the primary contractor is to complete 90% of the work, and the subcontractor to complete the remaining 10% (any potential earthwork at existing placement site).
