The Army Corps of Engineers Norfolk District is gathering information on companies that could build maintenance work at the Fort Eustis Dredge Material Management Area in Virginia. The work is raising disposal site berms from 34 ft to 36 ft, moving two spill boxes and regrading an access ramp. This is a sources sought notice, not a request for proposals, and the work would be a firm-fixed-price design-bid-build contract.
Watch out for
- Large construction size and bonding. At $5 to $10 million, a small contractor needs bonding capacity and similar-size past projects.
Magnitude of Construction cost is between $5,000,000 - $10,000,000
- Market research only. Responding does not guarantee a contract, and the Government will not pay for your response.
