Two Phase Design and Construction of the Port Monmouth Phase II, Contract 1 Mitigation Project

Solicitation W912DS26RA032 is a competitive two-phase design-build procurement for the Port Monmouth Phase II Contract 1 Mitigation project in Middletown, New Jersey. Managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers New York District with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection as the non-Federal sponsor, the project focuses on reducing storm damages from coastal erosion and flooding along Pews and Compton Creeks. The scope of work involves the design and construction of wetland and upland restoration, specifically covering approximately 24.83 acres of restored wetlands and channels and 8.76 acres of restored uplands across the Pews Creek and Compton Creek mitigation sites. The estimated project magnitude is between $15 million and $30 million. The procurement follows FAR Part 36.3 and utilizes a best-value tradeoff award process for a firm fixed-price contract. Phase One focuses on qualifying offerors based on specialized experience and past performance to shortlist up to five firms for Phase Two. In Phase Two, the government evaluates technical approach, management, and small business participation plans, with these non-price factors combined being approximately equal in importance to price. Key requirements include adherence to New Jersey environmental standards, the provision of performance and payment bonds, and compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act. Following several amendments, the final response deadline for proposals was extended to October 21, 2026.
