Project Scope: The USACE Baltimore District, intends to solicit a construction contract for the Herring Bay and Rockhold Creek Maintenance Dredging Project. The scope includes using a hydraulic cutterhead pipeline dredge at Herring Bay & Rockhold Creek to remove material to its authorized depth of 7 feet (plus two feet of allowable overdepth).

Approximately 38,000 cubic yards of silty to sandy material are to be dredged. Placement of material via pipeline will be utilized. Pipeline distance will be approximately 3.5 miles for the furthest dredging location. The pipeline will travel through the Herring Bay & Rockhold Creek, up Rockhold Creek, and over tidal wetlands to reach the existing upland placement site. Earthwork berm repairs, including possibly raising of the existing berms, and weir box replacement may be needed at the existing placement site. It is estimated that the primary contractor is to complete 90% of the work, and the subcontractor to complete the remaining 10% (any potential earthwork at existing placement site). The proposed project will be a competitive, firm-fixed-price, contract procured in accordance with FAR 14, Sealed Bidding, via an Invitation for Bid (IFB).
