The Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District, is seeking a cutterhead dredge contractor (Contract No. 3-2025, Specification OM25137) to build and possibly maintain a saltwater barrier sill in the Mississippi River between Mile 63.0 and Mile 64.0 Above Head of Passes. The work is placing hydraulically dredged material from a borrow area on the river bottom. The stated construction magnitude is between $10,000,000.00 and $25,000,000.00.
Watch out for
- Requires a dredge and plant. The contractor needs its own dredge and attendant plant for river work, which is heavy equipment most small businesses do not own.
The Contractor's dredge and attendant plant will primarily be used in connection with the construction and possible maintenance of a saltwater barrier sill
- Large project size. A $10 to $25 million range likely means significant bonding and working capital, although the notice does not state bonding requirements.
The magnitude of construction range for this Dredge project is between $10,000,000.00 and $25,000,000.00.
- Work details come later. Sill size and borrow area will be given in dredging assignments, so scope and pricing are uncertain at bid time.
Further details of the location, size, and configuration of the sill and borrow area required will be given in the dredging assignments.
