Y -- JAMAICA BAY DREDGING: This project requires the dredging, possible transportation, and placement of approximately 333,000 cubic yards of material, with placement at the Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS).

Solicitation W912DS-09-B-0003, issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, concerns the maintenance dredging of the Outer Entrance Channel of the Jamaica Bay Federal Navigation Project in New York. The project requires the dredging, potential transportation, and placement of approximately 333,000 cubic yards of sediment. All dredged material is designated for placement at the Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS) for environmental remediation purposes. The scope of work includes basic dredging tasks as well as five potential options, with technical specifications provided via channel sounding maps and specific coordinates. The procurement process involved several amendments to refine the project timeline and requirements. Key modifications included adjustments to the basic work completion period, revisions to the bid schedule and option exercise acknowledgments, and the removal of environmental window restrictions since material placement was shifted from Riis Beach to the HARS offshore dump site. Following multiple extensions, the final response deadline for bids was established as January 21, 2009, at 2:00 PM EST.
