This contract will initiate construction work in the harbor's Entrance Channel. • The $47 million contract was awarded to Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company, LLC, for new work and maintenance dredging of the more than 20-mile long Entrance Channel in order to achieve the newly authorized depth of 54 feet. All dredging work under this contract is required to be completed by Spring 2020. • This is the first of two contracts that will be required to complete the deepening of the Entrance Channel. The second contract will likely be awarded before the end of the calendar year. Depending on full-funding, dredge availability, weather and a variety of other factors, the construction of the entire project will take 40-76 months. A timeline for the dredging of the upper and lower harbors has not yet been finalized, but is planned to take place concurrently during a portion of the timeframe required to complete the Entrance Channel.
