NA The proposed work involves maintenance dredging a total of about 300,000 cubic yards of material from several areas of the Canal channel and West Mooring Basin. The dredged material will be placed at either the previously used Cape Cod Canal Disposal Site (CCCDS) or at the Cleveland Ledge Disposal Site in Buzzards’ Bay. The work is needed to remove shoals that are now limiting passage and mooring of deep draft commercial vessels.

Dredging would be performed between the months of August and December. The estimated cost of the work is between $1,000,000.00 AND $5,000,000.00. The work shall be performed between the months of August and December 2002. Solicitation shall be available on or about 29 April 2002. This solicitation is issued on an unrestricted basis.
