Indefinite Delivery Contract W911XK26DA003

The Great Lakes Dredging Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) is a $180 million indefinite delivery vehicle awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District to Dubuque Barge and Fleeting Service Co (doing business as Newt Marine Service), a small business prime contractor based in Dubuque, Iowa. The contract, which runs through December 29, 2030, provides maintenance dredging and associated construction services across the Great Lakes region within the boundaries of three USACE districts: Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit. The award is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 237990 for Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. Newt Marine Service will perform dredging operations between specified upstream and downstream limits, handle placement of dredged materials through multiple methods including shoreline beach nourishment, Confined Disposal Facilities, and Dredged Materials Disposal Facilities, and execute related construction activities such as Confined Disposal Facility and Dredged Materials Disposal Facility site work, surveys, and environmental compliance activities.

Individual task orders issued under this MATOC are structured on a firm-fixed-price basis, with each task order not expected to exceed $6 million in value over the five-year ordering period. The contractor is responsible for mobilizing dredging equipment to project locations, providing all labor, equipment, and materials necessary to complete each respective task order, and managing demobilization upon completion. This multiple-award contract structure enables the government to issue task orders to qualifying contractors based on project needs and contractor availability, supporting the Corps of Engineers' ongoing mission to maintain navigation channels and manage sediment in the Great Lakes system. Newt Marine Service's extensive portfolio of prior dredging and waterway infrastructure contracts with the USACE, including current indefinite delivery vehicles exceeding $300 million in collective value, positions the company as an experienced provider of specialized marine construction and dredging services.
