Definitive Contract W912HN24C5005

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, awarded a $28.4 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to Marinex Construction Inc. on July 15, 2024, for fiscal year 2024 Savannah Inner Harbor maintenance dredging operations. Under this contract, Marinex will remove approximately four million cubic yards of sediment from the harbor channel and turning basins at depths ranging from 47 to 55 feet below mean lower low water, with material to be transported over 50,000 linear feet and deposited in upland confined disposal areas. The contractor must demonstrate the capability to remove approximately 13,000 cubic yards of material daily while managing environmental restrictions that limit dredging activities between April and May and July through September. This is a non-set-aside procurement awarded under full and open competition, with an ultimate completion date of October 9, 2025.

Marinex Construction Inc., a South Carolina-based maritime infrastructure and coastal engineering contractor, is well-positioned to execute this work based on its established expertise in large-scale dredging operations throughout the southeastern United States. The company has received nine prime contracts from the Corps of Engineers since June 2021 with a combined ceiling value exceeding $176 million, including multiple previous maintenance dredging awards for the Savannah Inner Harbor valued between $22.8 million and $33.5 million. Through its federal contracting portfolio, Marinex has demonstrated proficiency in hydraulic cutterhead dredging operations, environmental compliance management related to protected species, and material placement in confined disposal facilities, supporting the Corps' Civil Works mission to maintain navigable waterways and advance coastal storm risk reduction across multiple southeastern states.
