FY26 Barnstable Harbor Entrance & Blish Point Dredging

The contract involves the mechanical dredging of approximately 2,343 cubic yards of sediment from Barnstable Harbor's Mid-Entrance Channel and Blish Point Boat Ramp in Massachusetts, with an estimated disposal of around 3,515 tons of dewatered sediment. The work requires the contractor to furnish all labor, materials, and floating water-based equipment necessary for dredging, dewatering, testing, and transportation of sediments to a designated shoreside disposal facility. The sediments will undergo final dewatering, mixing, and testing for conductivity at the disposal site, with mitigation measures implemented as needed before loading into trucks for upland disposal. The contractor is responsible for coordinating with regulatory agencies such as MADEP and forming contractual arrangements with the disposal facility, ensuring compliance with environmental permits and project specifications. The project is set within a framework of detailed technical, administrative, and regulatory requirements, including adherence to special conditions, technical specifications, and prevailing wage laws. The work must be completed within specified timeframes, with remobilization provisions if necessary, and involves coordination with multiple stakeholders, including the Town of Barnstable and regulatory agencies. Bidding procedures are outlined with a response deadline of November 12, 2025, and the project is valued between $500,000 and $1,500,000. Supporting documents provide comprehensive instructions for bid submission, technical plans, environmental and safety conditions, and wage compliance, ensuring that the project meets environmental, safety, and operational standards throughout its execution.
