North Tahoe Marina Long-Term Maintenance Suction Dredging

The contract pertains to long-term maintenance suction dredging at the North Tahoe Marina in California, aimed at preserving navigable waterways over a ten-year period. The work involves periodic dredging to maintain a depth of 6,219 feet in the marina harbor and entry channel, conducted on an as-needed basis up to once annually. Each year, no more than 1,250 cubic yards of sediment will be removed from a designated 0.48-acre area, with a strict cumulative limit of 12,500 cubic yards over the entire contract term to ensure environmental compliance. The project is managed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Region 6, based in South Lake Tahoe, and is intended to balance operational navigation needs with ecological protection. The contract is forecasted and not yet solicited, with the primary point of contact being Elizabeth van Diepen, an Environmental Scientist, who can be reached via email or phone provided in the contract data. Work will take place entirely within California, specifically at the North Tahoe Marina, with no set-aside provisions or NAICS code designated. The environmental agency overseeing the project emphasizes adherence to water quality standards, and the dredging operations are structured to minimize disruption to aquatic ecosystems while maintaining safe passage for vessels. All activities will be constrained by the cumulative volume cap and annual limits to ensure sustainability and regulatory compliance throughout the decade-long effort.
