The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s Shoreline & Waterway Management Section announced Feb. 8 the Massey’s Ditch maintenance dredging project will be rebid because an acceptable bid was not received. According to a press release, DNREC will update their design specifications and contract documents, and rebid the project later this year.
The anticipated rebid will be announced this spring and allow a four-month dredging window beginning in November. The project for the first bid package called for 50,000 cubic yards of maintenance dredging in Massey’s Ditch and 50,000 cubic yards of new dredging on a channel near Lynch Thicket and Middle Island. The plan called for the dredged material to be moved east and placed on the Atlantic Ocean beach north of the Indian River Inlet.
