Big Fishweir Creek, Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Continuing Authorities Program (CAP) Section 206, Duval County, Florida

This project involves the aquatic ecosystem restoration of Big Fishweir Creek and Little Fishweir Creek in Duval County, Florida, under the Continuing Authorities Program Section 206. The primary scope of work consists of dredging specific sections of both creeks, including the main channel and channel widener. Most dredged materials will be transported to Cell B of the Bartram Island Disposal Area, located approximately 14 miles northeast of the site, though materials from the upper reaches of Big Fishweir Creek may also be sent to an approved upland disposal facility. Additional requirements include the dewatering of Cell B by pumping effluent into Cell B2 prior to demobilization. The contractor is responsible for turbidity, endangered species, and vibration control monitoring, as well as channel debris removal. This award, managed by the Department of Defense through the Jacksonville District, was designated as a total small business set-aside and requires close coordination with JAXPORT's hired contractor for disposal operations at Bartram Island.
