About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Los Angeles is seeking contractors for dredging operations at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach's inner approach channel at the entrance to Anaheim Bay. The project involves dredging approximately 80,000 cubic yards of sediment from open waters of the Pacific Ocean and placing the material within two separate placement/disposal sites. The channel must be maintained to a design depth of -41 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) with a minimum width of 280 feet to ensure navigational safety for Navy warships. Contractors must be capable of working in challenging open ocean conditions characterized by high energy wave environments with typical wave heights exceeding 5 feet and extremely long wave periods, with potential for even larger waves during storm events. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on July 18, 2025, with a due date of September 2, 2025, and falls under NAICS code 237990 for Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it open to all qualified contractors. The project requires specialized dredging operations in exposed Pacific Ocean waters, with portions of the work taking place beyond the protective jetties that mark the channel entrance. The 80,000 cubic yard volume represents a substantial dredging operation that will require contractors with appropriate marine construction equipment and expertise in open water dredging techniques. The challenging environmental conditions, including the high energy wave environment and extended wave periods, will demand contractors with proven experience in similar exposed marine construction projects. The timeline from posting to due date provides approximately six weeks for interested contractors to prepare their responses to the eventual solicitation.
