The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract to Amherst Madison, Inc. (dba Amherstmadison), a for-profit subchapter S corporation, to provide dredging and related marine construction services across its Great Lakes and Ohio River Division. The $45 million contract has a period of performance through 2027. Under this IDV, the Corps has issued multiple firm fixed price delivery orders to Amherstmadison for maintenance dredging on the Ohio, Green, Big Sandy, Kanawha, and Cumberland Rivers, ranging from $132,000 to $4.5 million. The work supports the Corps' civil works mission of maintaining navigability and infrastructure on inland waterways. Amherstmadison has also been awarded IDV contracts worth up to $75 million, $49 million, and $1.5 million to provide dredging, small construction, and fuel/waste services to the Corps across its districts. Over one-third of the firm's prior Corps contracts utilized small business set-asides.
The original pre-solicitation notice sought information from dredging contractors on their equipment, quality control, safety practices, and bonding capacity to support work within the Corps' Great Lakes and Ohio Rivers Division. Responses were limited to 30 pages and were due by April 9, 2021. The notice did not specify any set-aside designations or include pricing terms. It aimed to identify qualified contractors to provide dredging services as needed across the division's four districts.
