W912HY26BA002

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, through the W076 Endist Galveston office, is soliciting bids under contract number W912HY26BA002 for maintenance dredging of the Sabine-Neches Waterway in Texas, with an estimated construction value ranging from $25 million to $100 million. This is an unrestricted Invitation for Bid resulting in a firm-fixed price contract award, with no requirement for prior government contracting experience. The scope of work includes the dredging of multiple sections of the waterway: Schedule 1 covers approximately 953,000 cubic yards in Sections 89A and 90–93, while four options provide additional volumes ranging from 215,000 to 985,000 cubic yards in other designated areas. All dredged material must be placed in nearby disposal areas along the waterway, with beneficial use sites designated for Schedule 1 and Option 1. The contract is not subject to environmental windows, allowing for year-round operations, and all plans and specifications are available exclusively through the electronic PIEE Solicitation Module, requiring offerors to monitor the system daily for updates. Offerors must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with their profile configured for “All Awards,” and must submit a notarized letter appointing an authorized entity administrator to activate their registration. Bids must be submitted electronically via the PIEE platform no later than July 29, 2026, with a recommendation to submit at least two hours prior to the deadline. Award recipients are required to provide Performance and Payment Bonds within five calendar days of contract award and must commence work within ten days of receiving the Notice to Proceed. Completion timelines vary by scope, with Schedule 1 estimated at 407 calendar days and options adding 25 to 300 additional days. Liquidated damages, the amount of which will be determined later, apply for each calendar day of delay beyond the stipulated schedule. The contracting specialist, Sarah Eisele, can be contacted between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. Failure to meet pre-award documentation deadlines or SAM registration requirements will disqualify an offeror from consideration.
