Indiana Harbor Dredging

This contract involves a project to mechanically dredge contaminated sediment from the Indiana Harbor and Canal, with the purpose of removing residual materials that previous dredging efforts did not eliminate. The process includes transporting the dredged sediment via sealed hull barges to a Confined Disposal Facility located at the upstream end of the canal. The sediment will be hydraulically off-loaded into designated cells within the CDF, utilizing slurry water recirculated from the facility, and debris or unpumpable materials will be mechanically separated and disposed of accordingly. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990, with an estimated value between 5 and 10 million dollars, and is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under the SBA guidelines. A formal site visit is scheduled for September 15th at 10:00 AM Central Time at 3500 Indianapolis Blvd, East Chicago, Indiana. Bidders are required to submit their proposals through the PIEE system by September 29th, 2025. Assistance with PIEE registration or access can be obtained from the PIEE Help Desk. The contract is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District, with primary contact Adam Haley available via email or phone for inquiries. The project aims to address ongoing sediment contamination issues and ensure environmental remediation within the harbor area.
