The USACE Wilmington District is contemplating a solicitation for improvements at Eagle

Island Dike, in Wilmington, North Carolina. Features of the work consist of ditching, draining and dewatering of the interior of the Eagle Island Cells 1 and 2 disposal areas. Excavation of a sump in front of spillways 1 and 2 in Cell 1 will be required. Pumping of water from the sumps will be required to accelerate the dewatering process. Existing material in the disposal areas is deposited dredged material consisting primarily of silts, sand, and clay. Due to the high water table and soft soil conditions, equipment suitable for wetland or marsh conditions or the use of mats to support the equipment will be required. The work will also include vegetation clearing from the interior areas of Cells 1 and 2. The vegetation consist of phragmites (common reed), shrubs and trees with diameter less than 3 inches. Construction and restoration of any necessary access ramps used to provide equipment access inside the diked disposal areas will be the

Contractor’s responsibility.

Potential contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award. Potential contractors must also have current Online Representations and

Certification Application on file with SAM. (See website https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM).

The magnitude of this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.
