Z--Milford Pond Restoration

The Milford Pond Restoration project, solicitation number W912WJ14B0015, is an award notice issued by the Department of Defense through the W2SD Endist New England. The scope of work involves the hydraulic dredging of approximately 220,000 cubic yards of organic-rich sediment from a 17-acre area in the southern portion of Milford Pond, dredging from the outlet dam northerly to a point just north of Clark Island to an elevation of 257.0 Feet NAVD88. The contractor is responsible for constructing containment structures using 100 percent biodegradable stacked coir logs in the northern portion of the pond to house the dredged material. These structures will remain in place after project completion to serve as vegetated islands, with the final filled area covering approximately 33 acres. The project strictly prohibits the disturbance of existing floating vegetated islands outside the designated dredge and disposal zones. Bidding for this project included several offerors, such as Inner Space Services Inc., Mobile Dredging & Pumping Co., H&L Contracting LLC, Sealand Enviro, and Palmer Federal Contractors.
