Description
THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ONLY. The Savannah District Corps of Engineers is requesting information regarding the market capabilities of potential contractors that can perform maintenance and unclassified dredging on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) sections of waterway Hell Gate and Florida Passage in Chatham County Georgia and Fields Cut in Jasper County South Carolina. This request does not obligate the Government in any way to post a Request for Proposal or award a contract.
Information received will be considered for the purpose of market research and determining how to best move forward with the procurement. Applicable NAICS code is 237990 with a size standard of $45.0M. The potential magnitude for this requirement is estimated to be between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. The FY26 Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) maintenance dredging contract provides construction services, including furnishing personnel, transportation, mobilization and demobilization, equipment and materials required in connection with maintenance dredging and incidental related work.
This contract is traditionally performed with a hydraulic cutterhead dredge, but other methods will be considered. The duration is expected to be five months (165 days) from Notice to Proceed. The Savannah Districts area of responsibility (AOR) of the federally maintained channel in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway begins in Port Royal Sound, South Carolina and ends in Cumberland Sound, Georgia.
The shallow draft federally maintained channel is twelve (12) feet deep MLLW with widths from ninety (90) feet in land cuts and one hundred fifty (150) feet in natural waterways. Savannah Districts FY26 AIWW maintenance dredging work is located within the state of Georgia (Chatham County) and in the state of South Carolina (Jasper County). The Hell Gate section of waterway is to be dredged to authorized width of 150 feet and depth of 12 feet.
The work also includes options to dredge the Florida Passage and the Fields Cut sections of the waterway to authorized width of 150 feet and depth of 12 feet. Approximately two hundred thousand (200,000) cubic yards of maintenance material is anticipated to be removed from the Hell Gate section of the federally maintained channel in the waterway. Approximately fifteen thousand (15,000) cubic yards of maintenance material is anticipated to be removed from the Florida Passage section of the federally maintained channel in the waterway.
Approximately fifty thousand (50,000) cubic yards of maintenance material is anticipated to be removed from the Fields Cut section of the federally maintained channel in the waterway. Sediment dredged from Hell Gate may be pumped approximately four (4) miles to a Beneficial Use placement site in tidal flats east of Ogeechee Bar. Sediment dredged from Florida Passage may be pumped approximately nine (9) miles to the Beneficial Use placement site in the tidal flats east of Ogeechee Bar.
