27-30 Inch Maintenance Dredging within the Geographical Boundaries of USACE Mobile District   4

Background
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Mobile District is issuing this solicitation for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) for dredging projects in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida.

The primary goal of this contract is to support deep draft federal navigation channel dredging projects and other related coastal restoration efforts. The contract has a total capacity of $49 million over a 14-month ordering period, with a guaranteed minimum quantity of work set at $10,000.

Work Details
The contractor will perform dredging operations at various locations including Mobile Harbor, Gulfport Harbor, Pascagoula Harbor, Pensacola Harbor, and Panama City Harbor. The scope includes:
1. Dredging using a hydraulic cutterhead pipeline dredge with a discharge diameter between 27 inches and 30 inches.
2. Supplying dredge-related equipment such as tugs, barges, cranes, geotextile tubes, sheet pile, and land-based heavy equipment for disposal operations.
3. Dredging for state ports and non-federal entities with materials ranging from coarse sands to fine silt and heavy debris.
4. Disposal of excavated materials in approved areas as directed by the USACE representative.
5. Compliance with environmental protection measures specific to each harbor location.

Period of Performance
The contract will be performed over a 14-month period with specific task orders issued throughout this timeframe.

Place of Performance
U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, MOBILE DISTRICT100 CANAL STREETMOBILE, AL 36602-1901 36602

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must provide performance and payment bonds within 10 calendar days after award. Contractors are required to have the necessary licenses for dredging operations and must demonstrate experience in similar projects. Additionally, bidders must submit detailed information regarding their dredge equipment capabilities including specifications on horsepower, dimensions, and operational limits.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on multiple recent Mobile District maintenance dredging awards to Mike Hooks, including contract work for Mobile Harbor (e.g., $13,697,933; 03/24/25–09/30/26) and other harbor maintenance dredging in the same geographic area (e.g., Pascagoula and Gulfport). The prior awards repeatedly reference maintenance dredging using 27–30 inch cutterhead pipeline dredges and attendant plant/equipment, which aligns closely with the current requirement for a 27- to 30-inch cutterhead dredge and related support for harbor/channel maintenance.
