Bids for Oostende beach replenishment

The invitation to bid comes from The Flemish Government’s Agency for Maritime and Coastal Services (MDK) who are responsible for maintaining the safe and efficient operation of shipping to and from Flemish ports. Their duties include a programme of establishing and maintaining seawalls to protect against flooding, taking into account the different social functions of the coastal zone.

The total value of the project is €3 million, the contractor expected to carry out maintenance and replenishment work along the Flemish coast beaches and also to supply sand to other dunes or beaches at the coastal ports. The replenishment project will be due for completion within one year, the contracting authority also having the right to repeat to a period of three years after the original contract.
