Project Description:

Conduct maintenance dredging by mechanical clamshell dredge to remove shoaled material within the harbor Federal limits that has accumulated over time.

The project also includes repairs to selected areas of the revetted mole structure, including small vegetation removal, removal of two large trees, filling voids in armor stone layer, and resetting an approximately 130-foot section of the revetted mole armor layer.

The major elements of this project include: pre-mobilization activities; compliance with all applicable environmental requirements; mobilization, which includes preparation of temporary construction staging; mechanical clamshell dredging of accumulated sediments estimated at 4,500 cubic yards (CY); transportation and disposal of material to the South Oahu Offshore Dredged Material Disposal Site; revetted mole repair and vegetation/tree removal; and demobilization, which includes the restoration of the temporary construction staging area to its original condition. Dredging layer thickness varies, up to 7 feet.

The estimated price range is between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000.
