- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing this Sources Sought Announcement for Federal Maintenance Dredging of the Housatonic River Federal Navigation Project in Stratford, CT. This announcement is to determine interest, availability and capability of HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and Small Business concerns for this project.

Project Description: This project consists of the dredging of approximately 225,000 cubic yards (cy) of clean fine-grain sand from the authorized 18-foot-deep and 200-foot-wide Federal channel, with placement of the dredged material directly onto Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison, CT, approximately 40 miles from the dredge site. Dredging may be accomplished by either mechanical means or by hopper dredge. It is anticipated that a booster pump, an unloader or similar equipment will be needed to pump the sand directly onto the beach from the scow or hopper.
