Weeks Marine Wins $38 Million Sea Bright-to-Manasquan Beach Renourishment Contract

Weeks Marine Inc. of Covington, Louisiana, has won a $38.3 million firm-fixed-price contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ New York District to construct a maintenance beach-renourishment berm in Monmouth County, New Jersey. The work is part of the Corps’ Sea Bright-to-Manasquan coastal storm risk-management project, which places sand along the shoreline to counter erosion and reduce storm damage. The award notice lists Monmouth Beach as the work location and estimates completion by May 11, 2027.

Sea Bright-to-Manasquan Renourishment Details

Weeks Marine will construct the berm using hydraulic beach fill. The project solicitation estimated 595,000 cubic yards of sand for the principal construction work. The broader renourishment plan identifies shoreline work in Sea Bright, Monmouth Beach and Long Branch; the award notice identifies Monmouth Beach as the contract’s performance location.

The construction documents also call for vibration monitoring and final record drawings documenting the completed work. Dredging and sand placement must comply with environmental restrictions, including a no-work period from March 1 through October 15. The Corps’ project synopsis targeted construction completion before March 2027, while the award notice gives May 11 as the estimated contract completion date. An environmental-controls specification addresses measures for managing construction-related pollution and habitat disruption.

Award and Contractor Background

The Corps received three bids for the unrestricted procurement. Weeks Marine has performed other hydraulic beach-fill work for the New York District, including a contract valued at up to $97 million with a potential performance end date in October 2024. The company’s HigherGov profile lists its other federal awards.

The new work falls within a longer-running shore-protection effort. A Corps project fact sheet describes an engineered berm along approximately 21 miles of Monmouth County shoreline and a six-year cycle of periodic nourishment. A 2025 Corps draft reevaluation report says the most recent cycle was completed in March 2024, placing approximately 2 million cubic yards of material in Elberon, Monmouth Beach and Sea Girt.

This award was disclosed by the DoW in its daily press release. Additional contract details will be available on HigherGov in approximately 90 days under W912DS26CA024 after the contract is formally disclosed by the government.
