PURPOSE: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE), Philadelphia District (NAP), anticipates a requirement for the Maintenance Dredging of the Salem River in Salem River in Salem, NJ. DESCRIPTION: Contract work will consist of Maintenance Dredging of the Salem River, NJ federal navigation channel to the authorized depth of 16 ft MLLW plus 2 ft overdepth, non-contour dredging, with the exception of the turning basin which will be 16 ft MLLW plus 1 ft overdepth. Dredging operations will clear approximately 116,000 cubic yards of fine-sand and silty sediment from the channel and turning basin. Beneficial use placement of the dredged channel sediments will be accomplished at designated locations within the US Fish and Wildlife Service?s Supawna Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Goose Pond area. Turning Basin dredging may have a different placement area at Tilbury Island. The contractor is required to have specialized experience since work requires the beneficial use placement of dredged sediments in sensitive marsh environments of a National Wildlife Refuge. Contractor must be able to demonstrate prior experience on dredging projects involving beneficial use placement techniques within environmentally sensitive coastal marshes and wetlands and knowledge of the dynamic conditions that exist for these placements. No dredging can occur between 1 March and 30 June due to environmental restrictions.
