USA: Yuma Dredging Plan Unveiled

The Bureau of Reclamation has a requirement for the performance of dredging services utilizing Government Furnished Equipment (GFE).

The requirement will allow for the performance of maintenance dredging at the designated locations within the project footprint. Performance of the contract will include daily production activities on a Government provided 14 inch hydraulic suction cutter head dredge, a dredge tender (single engine, dual propeller), and single booster pump controlled remotely from the dredge control cabin.

Offerors would provide daily transportation for the crew to the dredging site, crew supervision/training/oversight, and basic crew Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The estimated amount of material that can be removed under the project is up to 5 million cubic yards of fine to course sand, silt, clay, and gravels.

The project area includes the Colorado River areas in and between Squaw Lake (behind Imperial Dam) and the 4th Avenue Bridge in Yuma, Arizona (the area between river mile 30 and river mile 50 on the Colorado River).

The area includes Squaw Lake (at Imperial Dam), the Laguna Settling Basin, Laguna Dam and the river channel and backwater areas downstream to the 4th Avenue Bridge.
