INNOVATIVE AND BENEFICIAL REUSE PILOT DREDGING PROJECT AWAITS FINAL PERMITTING Responses to the latest RFP are due November 13, 2018. The total cost of the Project is not to exceed $3 million. The proposed solutions can be demonstrated either through a sediment characterization study, a demonstration pilot project, or both. The Maryland Environmental Service is issuing this RFP to propose solutions for reducing the nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment inputs to the Chesapeake Bay with viable innovative reuses or beneficial uses (IRBU) of the accumulated sediments within the Maryland portion of the Susquehanna River upstream of the Conowingo Dam. Here is how MES describes the Project Scope ( Project D: 1-18-3-21-8R): MES hopes that, with the addition of the sediment characterization piece, they will be able to identify a vendor that can begin to understand exactly what kind of material is behind the Dam, propose ways to safely remove it, and identify appropriate measures for re-using it and/or disposing of it. No explanation accompanied the official procurement notice as to why the project was being rebid, but the Clean Chesapeake Coalition spoke with the MES and gathered that the initially selected company, Northgate, was unable to develop a project that met the funding constraints. Of course, It doesn't reach as many people as other bigger news outlets do, instead focusing on curated content.The Maryland Environmental Service (MES) reissued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a pilot dredging project in the Conowingo reservoir, this time titled: “Conowingo Sediment Characterization and Innovative Reuse and Beneficial Use Pilot Project.” See the PowerPoint presentation here.
