Sources Sought: Tangier Island Beneficial Use
DEPT OF DEFENSE
About this opportunity
THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. Purpose: USACE is evaluating the beneficial use of shoaled sediments within the Tangier Island navigation channel. The volume of shoaled material varies depending on dredging frequency; however, the most recent survey indicates that approximately 100,000 cubic yards are currently present within the channel. Instead of disposing of this material offshore or placing it directly along the shoreline, USACE proposes to use it for shoreline stabilization by placing it within geotextile tubes (i.e. Geotubes�). Additional details regarding sediment characteristics are provided in the Geotechnical Summary, and design information is included in the Coastal Summary sections...
