Fairport Harbor Ohio Maintenance Dredging

The Fairport Harbor Ohio Maintenance Dredging project, solicitation number w912p4-09-b-0005, is a total small business set-aside awarded by the Department of Defense through the W072 Endist Buffalo. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all plant, labor, material, and equipment to remove and dispose of approximately 170,000 cubic yards of dredged material, excluding ledge rock, from Fairport Harbor and the Grand River in Fairport, Ohio. Dredged materials are to be transported to a government-designated open-lake disposal area or a government-approved facility. The estimated project cost is between 1,000,000 and 5,000,000 dollars. The project involves specific mobilization requirements and dredging of the inner harbor and lake approach channel. Key contractual modifications included updates to bidding schedules and a reduction in the period of performance from 100 days to 82 days. Additionally, the project is subject to strict environmental window restrictions, prohibiting certain activities between July 1 and September 15. The procurement process included detailed bidding schedules for mobilization and dredging quantities, with optional items for additional dredging based on disposal area depths.
