Cleveland Dredging

The U.S. Army Engineer District, Buffalo, is awarding a firm-fixed-price contract for FY26 Harbor Maintenance Dredging in Cleveland Harbor, Ohio, with a solicitation number of W912P426BA001 issued on June 3, 2026. The work involves the removal of approximately 250,000 cubic yards of dredged material from designated segments of the Upper Cuyahoga River and surrounding areas during spring and optional fall sessions, with base scope covering 150,000 cubic yards and an optional additional 100,000 cubic yards. The contract is structured as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 237990 and requires active SAM registration, a bid bond equal to 20% of the proposed bid amount, and full performance and payment bonding upon award. Base line items include mobilization and demobilization, dredging at specific river stations, and estimated costs totaling approximately $3.95 million, with a maximum potential value of nearly $7 million if all optional work is exercised. All submissions must be made electronically through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE), and no paper proposals will be accepted. The place of performance is Cleveland Harbor, Ohio, while the contracting office is located in Buffalo, New York. Invoicing is to be submitted electronically, and acceptance of work will occur at the dredging site under oversight of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The contract does not specify detailed technical standards, packaging requirements, evaluation factors beyond the fixed-price structure, or key personnel obligations, suggesting compliance will be measured primarily by volume of material removed and adherence to project scope.
