USCG Cutter Eagle New Dredging for Berthing at New London City Pier

Eagle Pier New Dredging (FY26) at New London’s City Pier, CT (NEW LONDON COUNTY), PSN #24014900.

Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, materials, and all other items and services required to perform dredging of a new area immediately south of CGC EAGLE’s berth at New London’s City Pier. The intent is to deepen the area to allow tugboats to assist the cutter for mooring/unmooring at all tide levels. Requirements of the design specify dredging to a depth of -17.0’ at Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) +2.0’ over dredging allowance. This equates to approximately 3,700 cubic yards (CY) of dredge spoils to remove to an upland disposal site. Offshore disposal is not permitted due to environmental sample analysis of the dredge area. There is an environmental time of year restriction in Connecticut that only permits dredging activities between October 1st and March 1st.

SPECIAL NOTES: The contractor shall conduct dredging operations so that navigation through the channel is possible at all times. The scope of work also includes removals of approximately 50 piles that remain below the waterline. Any piles that cannot be fully removed are to be cut at -21.0’ MLLW. Dredge quantity of 3,700 CY. This estimate is based on an average of the past annual dredging and surveys. The Contractor shall provide a cost for dredging per cubic yard. That per cubic yard cost will be used for any necessary contract cost adjustment resulting from dredging more or less than the estimated 3,700 cubic yards, within the limits of dredge. Contractor will be compensated for actual quantity of dredge material removed and disposed, within the limits of dredge, as shown on the plan sheets. Dredge disposal site location is to be determined by conditions of treated/non-treated piles for Base bid item and Option Bid item.

The estimated value of the procurement is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. A 20% bid guarantee is required. Performance and Payment bonds will be required. The performance period is estimated to be 300 calendar days from issuance of Notice to Proceed.
