Specifications include, but are not limited to: Consisting of removing accumulated Cook Inlet silts from the end of the Ship Creek Boat Ramp and redistributing it to the disposal area 150 feet westward of the ramp.; The cleared channel shall match, at a minimum, the throat of the boat ramp (approximately 47 feet wide). See the attached drawings for details. The floating dock sections will be installed by the Owner after the Work is completed.; It is not the intent of this Contract to require exporting cleared sediment to a disposal area off-site. The Contractor may move the material clear as long as hazards to navigation are not created. Relocating sediment from the ramp to another location along the Cook Inlet shoreline outside the permitted dredging area is not allowed (see Section XII).; The Work shall be completed during a low tide series between April and June when the tide is below negative three (-3) feet. The Contractor shall submit to the Owner a detailed Work Plan outlining the intended dates of work, intended method of removal, and anticipated duration of dredging at least one month in advance of the Work to allow coordination with users and Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The Contractor shall sequence construction activities to minimize impacts to SCBL users. SCBL will remain operational for the duration of the Work between low tide cycles.; Bidders are cautioned of the hazards to personnel and equipment working in Cook Inlet sediment. Cook Inlet has extreme tides, fast currents, and near freezing temperatures. The sediment is cohesive and capable of trapping both personnel and equipment if appropriate measures are not taken.
