The USACE Wilmington District is contemplating a solicitation for improvements at Eagle Island Confined Disposal Facility for Cell 1, Brunswick County, North Carolina.

Features of the work consist of constructing toe berms along the outside toe of the existing dike; the removal of pipe at Spillway 1 and reconstruction of Spillway 1 on the west side; the removal and replacement of pipes at Spillway 2 and Spillway 3; relocation of the spillway risers and adding new spillway sections to increase the height of the spillway risers; construction of interior step-in along the inside toe of the existing dike which includes regrading and excavating a portion of the existing dike; and placement of high-strength geotextile fabric during the construction of the interior step-in.  The interior of Cell 1, location of dredged material, will be available as a source of borrow material to construct the toe berms and step-in.  Control and diversion of water along with pumping and dewatering will be required.    Construction and restoration of any necessary access ramps used to provide equipment access inside the diked disposal areas will be the Contractor’s responsibility.
