Application of Dredge Monitoring Systems to Dredge Contract Administration Quality Assurance
Abstract
Monitoring technology is available for providing dredge process data to dredge contract administrators during the course of a dredging contract. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) contracts out more than 80 percent of all dredging under their jurisdiction. Presently, Corps District offices have taken on more of a contract administration role rather than a technical "hands on" role for insuring that the nation's waterways remain open and are navigable. Although Corps inspectors are generally aboard the contractor's dredge during the dredging, the contract administrator does not have direct access to dredge process data for evaluating the contractor 5 performance. This technical note describes dredge-monitoring systems designed to provide contract administrators with dredge process data for evaluating dredge productivity, efficiency, and overall performance.
