Description

Maintenance Dredging of the New York and New Jersey Harbor, Port Jersey Channel, New Jersey, Federal Navigation Project.

Market Survey

Background Information

The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) proposes to perform maintenance dredging of portions of the New York and New Jersey Harbor, Port Jersey Channel, New Jersey, Federal Navigation Project to a depth of -50 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) plus 1-foot allowable overdepth or 2-foot allowable overdepth. The allowable overdepth of 1-foot or 2-foot will be based on the availability of funds. The dredged material would be subsequently transported and placed, as remediation material, at the Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS), approximately 5 miles east of Sandy Hook, New Jersey. The proposed maintenance dredging would remove approximately 420,000 cubic yards (CY) to a depth of -50 feet MLLW + 1-foot allowable overdepth, or 435,000 CY to a depth of -50 feet MLLW + 2-foot allowable overdepth, of selected critical shoals from the Port Jersey Channel. Volume of anticipated dredged material will be subject to availability of funds. The dredged material is expected to consist of sand, silt and clay. The Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission ? Utility Corridor crosses under the Port Jersey Channel.

Due to restrictions found in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Water Quality Certificate, the proposed work can only be performed by utilizing a mechanical dredge with a closed clamshell environmental bucket. Additionally, multiple ocean-going scows and tug boats will be needed to perform the work during the dredging, transport and unloading operations. The dredged material would be required to meet all federal, state, and approved local criteria required by the government agencies having jurisdiction where the dredging and placement sites are located.

Once the contract is awarded, the contractor will be required to commence work within five (5) calendar days after the date of receipt by him of the notice to proceed. When dredging over the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission ? Utility Corridor, the contractor will be required to maintain an integrated production rate of at least 1,000 cubic yards per calendar day for the dredging, transportation, and final placement of the material. Dredging everywhere in the channel, the contractor will be required to maintain an integrated production rate of at least 6,000 cubic yards per calendar day for the dredging, transportation, and final placement of the material. The presence of dredging equipment in the channel will impact ship traffic and it is necessary to maintain this production rate while minimizing the duration of this impact.

The proposed work is anticipated to take place between June 2024 and Jan 2025. The work is estimated to cost between $5,000,000.00 and $10,000,000.00.
