The Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers Norfolk District, is soliciting bids for maintenance dredging of the Rudee Inlet Federal Navigation Channel and associated project areas in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The scope of work requires the removal of approximately 220,000 cubic yards of sandy maintenance material from several locations, including the Rudee Entrance Channel, Sand Trap, Entrance Channel Transition Area, North Jetty Area, South Jetty Area, and Outer Deposition Basin.

Contractual requirements include the provision of all labor, equipment, plant, supervision, safety controls, environmental protection measures, beach placement, grading, and cleanup.
