Description

The Howth FHC Dredging Project is a €30m+ project to dredge the harbour involves the dredging, stabilisation and beneficial reuse of circa 240,000 cubic metres of contaminated but non-hazardous bed material. This material is located within the confines of the West and East piers of Howth harbour in four main zones known as: * the fishing basin between West and Middle Piers * the channel which provides access from sea * the outer swing mooring area to the north of the inner break water * the inner Marina basin which is adjacent to the public slipway and channel It is proposed that this material is treated and stabilised using a pumped liquid mixing method in a location on the Middle Pier and pumped to a location to the West of the West Pier where it is to be used as the core infill of a new reclaimed multi use land area. In order to minimise delays and to give potential tenderers the best opportunity to tender for the overall project, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine are undertaking a pre-qualification process to assess the suitability of prospective tenderers for the main construction and dredging contract relating to the Howth FHC Dredging works. The Department are proposing to prequalify the top 6 ranked applicants, with a minimum number of 3. Submissions are sought from suitably experienced applicants who can demonstrate experience relevant to the required works and who can mobilise sufficient plant and labour resources to undertake and complete the project. The works contract will be tendered in a two-stage format, with pre-qualification and suitability questionnaire stage commencing in May 2026 in order to generate a shortlist for the restricted final tender process to be undertaken. Prequal stage is expected to be complete in June/July 2026, with the restricted follow on stage to follow on shortly after.
