Project Description: This is a design-bid-build project to conduct maintenance dredging of the entrance channel and turning basin at Nawiliwili Deep Draft Harbor (DDH) located along the southeast coast of the island of Kauai, state of Hawaii. Nawiliwili DDH is the island's principal commercial harbor and consists of a breakwater, 40-foot deep entrance channel and 35-foot deep turning basin. The overall purpose of the project is to maintain safe navigation at Nawiliwili DDH. Accumulation of sediments within Nawiliwili DDH has resulted in shoaling within the harbor's entrance channel and turning basin. Partial dredging, completed by the Corps' Essayons hopper dredge vessel in 2016, removed an estimated 64K cubic yards of sediment. Additional dredging is needed to remove an estimated 100K-125K cubic yards of sediment by clam shell dredge, in order to achieve authorized depths within the federal limits and to ensure continued safe vessel navigation and to dispose material at the Nawiliwili EPA Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS) located approximately 4 nautical miles off the southeast shore of Nawiliwili Harbor, Kauai. The major elements of the scope of work include: pre-mobilization activities; compliance with applicable environmental requirements; mobilization which includes preparation of temporary construction staging; dredging of accumulated sediments; transportation and bottom dumping of sediment off shore to the Nawiliwili EPA ODMDS; and, demobilization which includes the restoration of the temporary construction staging areas to its original condition. The estimated performance of period is 365 calendar days. The project magnitude is $5,000,000 to $10,000,000.
