About this opportunity
Dorchester County, South Carolina is requesting bids for obstruction clearing services on a portion of the Ashley River Scenic Blue Trail under IFB with bids due October 21, 2026. The project is federally funded under FHWA and subject to FHWA Form 1273 contract provisions, including Davis-Bacon Act labor standards, equal employment opportunity requirements, and environmental compliance obligations.
The scope addresses waterway debris removal identified in a March 2025 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers survey following Tropical Storm Debby. The survey documented debris at 25 distinct points across the upper six miles of the 12-mile trail, with debris completely blocking the waterway at seven locations. The debris estimate ranges from 1,000 to 5,000 cubic yards, consisting primarily of storm-related vegetative matter from bank to bank. The survey notes that removal will require barge equipment due to private or road-inaccessible adjacent properties. The goal is to restore a 10–15 foot passage width for kayak navigation. Attachment A provides segment locations, priority points, and photographs to guide bid development. Attachment B contains the full waterway debris assessment. The project involves navigating high-water conditions — the river crested at 25.29 feet during the storm, exceeding flood stage by over eight feet.
No contract value, contract term, incumbent contractor, evaluation criteria, question deadline, or pre-bid meeting date is specified in the posted materials.
