USA: Officials to Invite Bids for Edgewater Marina Dredging

The borough engineer will actively seek out vendors this week to work on a languishing marina dredging project still in need of a barge, reports northjersey.com.

Two bid openings failed to attract contractors who were willing to perform Hudson River silt removal.

The New Jersey side of the river faces a continual build-up of sediment and mud in its jetties and coves, making it difficult for boats to navigate the marina’s waters.

The vendor who offers the lowest cost to the town will be awarded the job.
