Eagle Pier New Dredging at New London’s City Pier, Connecticut

The project involves dredging a new area south of the Coast Guard Cutter EAGLE’s berth at New London City Pier, Connecticut, to deepen the waterway for safe tug boat operations during all tide levels. The dredging must reach a depth of -17.0 feet at Mean Lower Low Water with an additional 2.0 feet of overdredging allowance, resulting in the removal of approximately 3,700 cubic yards of material, which must be transported to an upland disposal site due to environmental contamination findings that prohibit offshore disposal. Dredging activities are restricted to the window between October 1st and March 1st to comply with Connecticut’s environmental protection regulations. In addition to dredging, the scope includes the removal of about 50 submerged piles, with any piles that cannot be fully extracted required to be cut at -21.0 feet MLLW to ensure navigational safety. The contract is designated as a small business set-aside under NAICS code 237990 and is managed by the United States Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security, with point of contact information provided for inquiries and small business coordination.
