Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Co. (GLDD) has won a $24,498,050 firm-fixed-price contract for construction of the Fire Island Inlet to Montauk Point dredging Moriches and Shinnecock Inlets.
Bids were solicited via the internet with one received, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) said.
Work will be performed in Bay Shore, New York, with an estimated completion date of March 17, 2023.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, is the contracting activity.
The shoreline along the south shore of Long Island, NY between Fire Island Inlet and Montauk Point has a long history of damages due to beach erosion and coastal storms, notably from Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
The recommended plan includes sand bypassing and dredging, renourishment, breach response plans, mainland nonstructural measures, removal of Ocean Beach groins, and coastal process features for 12 barrier island and two mainland locations.
