About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, issued this sole-source justification on February 9, 2026, for a contract modification to accelerate the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) Contract 11A, Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) A-2 Reservoir Foundation & Cutoff Wall Project. The modification with incumbent contractor Forgen-Odin Joint Venture (FO-JV) will compress the completion timeline from June 16, 2029, to March 31, 2028—a reduction of 442 days—while maintaining the full scope of specialized heavy civil engineering construction work including clearing, grubbing, demolition, blasting, foundation preparation, and installation of a seepage cutoff wall across approximately 15.9 miles of foundation. The justification for sole-source award under FAR 6.302-1 rests on the determination that only FO-JV possesses the capability and continuity necessary to perform the accelerated work, as terminating and re-procuring the contract would result in 24 to 30 months of unacceptable delays, jeopardizing the overall project completion objective. The accelerated timeline is driven by critical environmental and ecological deterioration in the Everglades ecosystem, including destructive muck fires, declining habitat indicators, and water quality degradation in Lake Okeechobee. The Corps awarded contract W912EP22C0017 to Forgen-Odin Joint Venture on January 29, 2026, with the specific award amount redacted in available documentation, and the modification supports Florida's commitment to complete the EAA Reservoir project by December 31, 2029, as formalized through a memorandum of agreement signed by the Governor of Florida and the Acting Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works.
