The project would be dredged to a depth of 10 feet below MLLW plus 2 feet allowable overdepth. The proposed work can be performed by a hydraulic dredge or similar plant. The Contractor will be required to commence work within five (5) calendar days after the date of receipt by him of the Notice to Proceed, to prosecute said work diligently and to complete the basic work ready for use not later than one hundred and five (105) calendar days after the receipt by him of the Notice to Proceed.
