The Bureau of Reclamation has a requirement for the performance of dredging services utilizing Government Furnished Equipment (GFE).
The requirement will allow for the performance of maintenance dredging at the designated locations within the project footprint. Performance of the contract will include daily production activities on a Government provided 14 inch hydraulic suction cutter head dredge, a dredge tender (single engine, dual propeller), and single booster pump controlled remotely from the dredge control cabin.
