Houston Ship Channel (HSC) Expansion Channel Improvement Project (ECIP) 11, Package 9, Segment 4 Boggy Bayou to Sims Bayou

The Houston Ship Channel Expansion Channel Improvement Project 11, Package 9, Segment 4 is a construction effort managed by the US Army Engineer District Galveston to widen and deepen the main channel from Boggy Bayou to Sims Bayou in Harris County, Texas. The scope of work includes widening the channel to approximately 530 feet and deepening it from -41 feet to -46.5 feet. Key activities involve new-work dredging, the removal of abandoned pipelines and a steel bulkhead, and the conveyance and placement of dredged material into the Beltway 8, East Clinton, and West Clinton placement areas. This is an unrestricted Firm-Fixed-Price contract with an estimated value between 100 million and 250 million dollars. The contract will be awarded using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable procedure, evaluating proposals based on technical approach, schedule, and past performance. The base contract has an anticipated delivery period of 477 days after the Notice to Proceed, extending up to 603 days if all options are exercised. Performance is subject to the Davis-Bacon Act and requires strict adherence to governmental safety and cybersecurity standards. Final acceptance of the dredging and riprap placement will be determined through a series of hydrographic surveys and inspections, including punch-out, pre-final, and final acceptance reviews.
