The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District awarded multiple indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts totaling $45 million to provide rapid response pipeline dredging services along the Texas Gulf Coast through April 2025. Under the master contract, Inland Dredging Company, L.L.C. received a $3,000 firm fixed price delivery order for minimum guarantee services through the same period.
The original solicitation sought proposals for pipeline dredging of eight deep draft and eight shallow draft navigation channels due to unanticipated shoaling from events such as hurricanes. A partial small business set-aside was included with subcontracting goals. The Corps intended to award a minimum of five contracts for a base period of three years and one optional two-year extension. Services include dredging, transport, processing, hauling and disposal of materials.
Placing navigation infrastructure and waterborne commerce as a top priority, the Galveston District utilizes indefinite delivery contracts to maintain critical pipeline and waterway access on the Texas coast in the event of emergency shoaling incidents. The awarded delivery order and master contracts establish pre-negotiated terms to expedite response capabilities when needed most.
