FY26 Brazos Island Harbor (BIH) Texas, Entrance and Jetty Channel Hopper Maintenance Dredging, Cameron County, Texas W912HY26X1B38

Dredging and placement work to maintain Brazos Island Harbor Entrance and Jetty Channel, totaling about 450,000 cubic yards, with five optional tasks tied to trail suction dredging and beach placement on South Padre Island. Schedule No.1 covers hopper dredging of the Entrance Channel from -13+000 to -6+00 (roughly 125,000 CY) and the Jetty Channel from -6+000 to 0+000 (roughly 225,000 CY). Placement is planned at the Near Shore Feeder Berm 1A/1B. Options 1–3 involve Sea Turtle Trawling for 15 days each; Option 4 would substitute beach placement at two SPI locations for berm placement and adds 14 calendar days to the contract duration; Option 5 is Sea Turtle Trawling for 15 days. All dredging and beach placement options are governed by environmental windows for swimming and nesting sea turtles. The entire project must be ready for use within 120 calendar days after notice to proceed, and each option 1–5 carries a 14-day completion period.

Unique considerations include adherence to sea turtle environmental windows and the inclusion of options that affect contract duration (Option 4 adds time, others do not). The scope involves both hopper dredging and optional beach placement near South Padre Island, with separate volume estimates for the two channel segments and specific placement areas.
