This modification requirement is for an additional six months to continue the deep dredging of the lower Mississippi River Channel with a Hydraulic Pipeline Dustpan Dredge and Attendant Plant. The work consists of furnishing, delivering, and operating one fully operated hydraulic pipeline dustpan dredge and attendant plant for the removal and satisfactory disposal of shoal material. The primary dredging region will be on the lower Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, but may include any point on the Mississippi River between Cairo, Illinois (Mile 953.8 AHP) and New Orleans, LA (Mile 106 AHP). Dredging may also be required at secondary locations between Cubit's Gap (Mile 4.0 AHP) and Southwest Bar Channel (Mile 22.0 BHP); and tributaries of the Mississippi River. The last option exercised under the Contract runs out on 21 June 2019. The unusual flooding and river conditions caused unanticipated severe shoaling in the lower Mississippi River, resulting in the remaining Contract time being insufficient to perform all of the required dredging.
