Project Description: Maintenance Dredging, Twitch Cove and Big Thorofare, Somerset County, Smith Island, Maryland 21824
1. The proposed procurement is 100% Small Business (SB) set-aside, North Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) with a magnitude of construction between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.

The proposed work consists of dredging the entire channel length of Twitch Cove and 2 sections of the Big Thorofare channel, totaling approximately 2.7 miles. The channels will be dredged to the authorized depth of 7 feet mean lower low water (MLLW), plus 1 to 2 feet of allowable over-depth (depending on the channel reach). The material will be placed at Swan Island, located in the Martin National Wildlife Refuge, to restore dune and wetland habitat. The material shall be contained with coir logs and both the dune and wetland areas will be planted. Additionally, a 100 ft long shoreline protection feature, consisting of interlocking concrete armor units, will be constructed on the northeast side of Swan Island to protect the restored dune and wetlands from wind and waves. Approximately 77,000 cubic yards of material consisting primarily of sand, silt, mud, shell and combinations thereof, are to be dredged. The maximum pumping distance is approximately 7 miles. Booster pumps may be needed to transport some of the material to farther distances. Low pressure equipment will be required to shape the material into the specified cross sections at specified elevations.
