Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 22, 2026.
- Worth checking: Large dredging and beach placement job: $10 million to $25 million. The Government's construction magnitude puts this in a size range that needs heavy marine equipment and financial capacity.
- Worth checking: Bids accepted only through PIEE. A bid sent by email, fax, mail or hand delivery will not be accepted, so set up a PIEE account early.
- Minor: Environmental restrictions and beach tilling. The work includes environmental restrictions on when and how you work and beach tilling; details are in the solicitation.
