This effort covers multiple Texas navigation channels and harbors, including the Houston Ship Channel, Galveston Harbor, Corpus Christi Ship Channel, and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, among others. A virtual industry day is scheduled for October 16, 2026, to discuss the strategy and gather industry feedback. The procurement process consists of two phases. Phase One involves a technical qualifications-based evaluation focusing on past performance, proposed plant, and proof of bonding capacity, without requiring cost or detailed design information. A maximum of five offerors will be down-selected to proceed to Phase Two. In the second phase, selected offerors will submit competitive technical and price proposals. Evaluation factors for Phase Two include the schedule, management approach, the maximum use of beneficial use, and the ability to maintain channels at authorized dimensions for the longest possible duration.
