Atlas Park Pond Dredging

Douglas County, Georgia is seeking a contractor for the Atlas Park Pond Dredging project, a comprehensive environmental remediation and site improvement initiative. The procurement involves permanently capping a contaminated soil area with clean fill and asphalt, including constructing a parking lot with a precast concrete boat ramp. The primary scope of work includes dredging approximately 1,126 cubic yards of impacted sediment from two designated zones, removing the top 1-foot of sediment, and utilizing appropriate dredging techniques such as suction or pump and hose methods. Contractors must install and maintain a containment boom to prevent sediment migration and adhere to strict environmental protocols, including securing a wetland permit before commencing work. The project is currently under the Georgia Voluntary Remediation Program, with erosion control plans pending review by the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission (GSWCC). The solicitation was posted on February 24, 2025, with proposals due by April 7, 2025, and the total project timeline specified at 270 days (approximately 9 months).

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, contractors will need significant environmental remediation expertise and HAZWOPER training for workers handling contaminated materials. The project requires specialized capabilities in sediment removal, environmental containment, site grading, and proper disposal of contaminated materials at approved landfills. Bidders must demonstrate technical proficiency in handling complex environmental remediation tasks, including confirmatory testing and detailed documentation of material disposal. Although a specific budget range was not provided, the comprehensive technical specifications and multi-phase nature of the project suggest a substantial capital investment. The project involves extensive site preparation, including clearing, grubbing, grading, drainage installation, signage, striping, and erosion control activities, indicating a complex and technically demanding procurement opportunity that will likely require significant technical and financial resources from potential contractors.
