The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposes maintenance dredging of the Sandy Hook Channel in New York Harbor, removing approximately 190,000 cubic yards of sand and gravel shoals to restore a depth of -35 feet MLLW plus 2 feet overdepth. Dredged material will be transported to the Sea Bright Offshore Borrow Area, 5 miles southeast of Sandy Hook Point, NJ. Work must be performed using a mechanical dredge with clamshell bucket, along with ocean-going barges, tug boats, and ancillary equipment, maintaining a production rate of at least 8,000 cubic yards per calendar day. The estimated budget is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The contractor must commence work within 5 calendar days of receiving the notice to proceed and complete all work within 60 calendar days.
