Common use of Dredging Clause in Contracts

Dredging. Contractor shall manage dredging of the Marine Loading Berths as further described in Attachment 31. Dredging will take place 24 hours a day. Contractor shall manage the dredging operations in accordance with USACE issued permit requirements and shall implement measures to minimize the impact of the dredging operations on the marine traffic in the ship channel and the Intracoastal Canal Waterway. It is assumed that a diesel dredge similar to those commonly employed by the United States and Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) contractors or other appropriate dredge as required by Contractor will be used. This is a diesel-driven hydraulic dredge with basic noise attenuation such as a standard exhaust muffler and a partially enclosed engine room. Final disposition of dredged spoils, beneficial use of spoils, and development, offset, or reclamation of wetlands is the responsibility of Owner. Further, Owner will be responsible for provision of servitude or land acquisition for the dredge transport pipeline going to the BUDM locations and/or pump stations. USACE shall be responsible for dredging in the Calcasieu Ship Channel to maintain necessary navigational depths of the channel. Maintenance dredging is excluded from Contractor’s obligations under the Scoping Documents except for maintenance dredging on the operating marine basin of the facility west of the USACE channel to its design depth prior to handover of the marine facility.
