AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District plans to conduct maintenance dredging and beach nourishment along Fire Island Inlet and the adjacent shoreline westward to Jones Inlet, focusing on the Gilgo Beach area in Suffolk County, New York. The project involves removing up to 2.5 million cubic yards of sand from the federal navigation channel and deposition basin, excavating to a depth of up to 14 feet plus a 2-foot allowable over-depth, and relocating the dredged material to renourish Gilgo Beach. This dual-purpose initiative supports safe and efficient maritime navigation for commercial and recreational vessels while simultaneously combating coastal erosion by replenishing sand lost to littoral drift, thereby protecting critical infrastructure like Ocean Parkway and naturally feeding sediment to downstream beaches. The work must be carried out using a large pipeline dredge capable of meeting U.S. Coast Guard standards for ocean-going vessels. The contractor is required to begin work within five calendar days of receiving the notice to proceed and complete all operations within 180 days, maintaining a minimum placement rate of 14,500 cubic yards per calendar day. Failure to meet deadlines will result in liquidated damages of $2,770 per day until the work is accepted. The total estimated cost ranges from $25 million to $100 million, with plans and specifications expected to be released in June 2026, followed by bid opening in July, award in August, and issuance of the notice to proceed by late September. The procurement is unrestricted, and the solicitation number is W912DS26BA015, with primary point of contact information provided through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office in New York.

Full Description
The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) proposes to perform maintenance dredging and beach nourishment of Fire Island Inlet and Shores Westerly to Jones Inlet Beach Erosion Control and Navigation Project, New York. The work consists of dredging the Fire Island Inlet Federal Navigation channel and deposition basin with subsequent placement of the dredged sand as nourishment along the designated feeder beach (Gilgo Beach, Suffolk County, New York).
The proposed dredging and beach nourishment work would involve dredging and placement of up to 2,500,000 CY of sand at Gilgo Beach, subject to available funding. The project is scheduled to be dredged across the channel and deposition basins to a depth of up to 14 feet plus 2 feet allowable over-depth, in order to satisfy the volume required to renourish the Gilgo Beach.
The proposed work is a multi-purpose project that provides both a navigation channel and coastal storm risk management features. The project will alleviate the effects of shoaling and maintain the authorized project dimensions, thereby providing safe and economical use of the Fire Island Inlet by commercial and recreational boating interests while also providing renourishment to the nearby shoreline at Gilgo Beach. Between maintenance operations, the physically bypassed sand placed at the feeder beach would be carried by littoral drift to feed down drift beaches. This project would thus serve to place sand trapped in the channel back into the normal littoral movement that naturally replenishes the western beaches and protect Ocean Parkway, while also restoring a safe channel for navigation.
The proposed work can be accomplished by large pipeline dredge and must meet US Coast Guard criteria for an “ocean going vessel”.
The Contractor will be required to commence work within five (5) calendar days after the date of receipt by him of the notice to proceed, and to prosecute said work diligently and to complete the basic work ready for use not later than one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the receipt by him of the notice to proceed (NTP). The contractor is required to maintain a placement production rate of at least 14,500 cubic yards per calendar day.
The work is estimated to cost between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. Plans and specifications for the subject project would be available in June 2026, with bid opening in July 2026. It is the intention of the government to award in August and NTP in late September.
Liquidated Damages of $2,770.00 per calendar day of delay will be assessed to the contractor until all work under the contract is accepted as complete.
This is an unrestricted Procurement.
