The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Detroit District is seeking contractors with the capability to provide construction services for the Monroe Harbor Advanced Maintenance Dredging (AMD) project.

This project involves the mobilization of dredge to Monroe Harbor.

From STA 15+75 to 4+00, a section near the wall will be dredged to 21 ft below LWD. The turning basin will be dredged to a depth of 20-ft below LWD plus 1-ft overdepth for STA 64+72 to 79+00. Placement of dredged material will be in Cell 3 at Pointe Mouillee Confined Disposal Facility (CDF). No discharge is allowed at Pointe Mouillee CDF. Demobilize when complete.
