Taylors Point Dredge

The Town of Bourne is soliciting open market bids for the Taylor Point Dredge Project (Contract No. FY27-TPD-3) to remove approximately 105 cubic yards of sediment from the Taylor Point Channel in Buzzards Bay, covering roughly 3,200 square feet. Managed by the Town Administrator's office, the project requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, and equipment to survey, mechanically dredge, dewater, and dispose of sediment at the Town of Bourne Integrated Solid Waste Management landfill. Maintenance dredging must be completed by January 15, 2027, with all remaining work finished by March 1, 2027, and any necessary pavement reconstruction completed by May 1, 2027. A key deliverable is an after-dredge hydrographic survey including data point files and volume calculations. The contract will be awarded to the lowest eligible responsible bidder based on a lump sum value, with unit pricing for any volume removed beyond the initial 105 cubic yards. Eligible bidders must demonstrate satisfactory performance on at least five previous contracts, two of which must be similar in size and scope. Required submissions include a bid security of at least 5 percent of the bid price, and the successful awardee must provide performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract amount. Compliance requirements include adhering to the USACOE Dredge Quality Management System, prevailing wage rates, and mandatory 10-hour OSHA construction safety training for all onsite employees. Bids are due by October 29, 2026, at 4:00 PM.
