The Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, wants a contractor to operate and maintain government-owned facilities and equipment on the Black Warrior-Tombigbee and Alabama River waterways in Alabama, including locks and dams, offices, boat houses and a floating plant. One firm-fixed-price single-award IDIQ task order contract is planned with a five-year ordering period. It is a 100% small business set-aside.
Watch out for
- Very broad scope across a large area. Work covers nine locks and dams and many sites across 13 Alabama counties, which takes a lot of crews, equipment and travel.
The project is geographically spread out over 13 counties in Alabama
- Floating plant operations. Maintaining a towboat, crane barge and workboats needs marine equipment and experience many small businesses lack.

- Hazardous and toxic material handling. Storing and disposing of herbicides and waste fluids can bring permits, training and liability.
