Corps awards contract for Mission Bay dredging
Contracts & Tenders - February 5, 2010
The US Army Corps of Engineers has confirmed that it has awarded a US$5.3 million stimulus contract to Manson Construction Company of Seattle, Washington, to dredge Mission Bay in San Diego, California.
A start date for the project has not yet been determined.
The project is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) which President Barack Obama signed into law February 2009 to help in the recovery of the US economy.
The Act, referred to as the “stimulus package,” appropriates nearly US$184 million for project construction, operations and maintenance activities, and completion of studies for Corps projects in Southern California, Arizona and portions of Nevada.
“This project will vastly improve navigation in and around Mission Bay by clearing out sand that has shoaled into the channel over the years,” said Scott John, of the Corps’ Los Angeles District, who is managing the project.
“We have been working closely with the City of San Diego as well as the San Diego Lifeguard Service on this project to make sure that we dredge the areas that need it most, protect important environmental resources and enhance the recreational resources at Mission Beach.”
Scott said the job will dredge approximately 500,000 cubic yards of sand from the federal channels, which were last dredged in 1984.
Manson will place most of the material on Mission Beach, where it is compatible with the sand already there.
Manson’s Southern California office at Terminal Island will administer the contract.
