Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The solicitation for Assunpink Creek Site 8 Dam Rehab appears to have a closely related prior award for the same asset and watershed, with Aterra-Schnabel Joint Venture as the awardee on contract/task order 12SPEC18D0023-12FPC322F0072 valued at $842,043 (04/14/22–01/30/26). That prior effort was for “Assunpink Creek Dam No. 8 Watershed Rehabilitation Assistance – Design Services,” which suggests the current rehabilitation work is likely a continuation of implementing the established rehabilitation design and meeting state/federal dam safety requirements for the same Site #8 dam.
