About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans District published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice to justify awarding a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $9,747,500 to Weeks Marine for immediate dredging services to construct an underwater saltwater barrier sill through the Mississippi River within 23 days. This sole source award was necessary due to unusual and compelling urgency to mitigate saltwater intrusion threatening local water supplies in Plaquemines Parish, St Bernard Parish and Orleans Parish. Market research found Weeks Marine to be the only contractor capable of mobilizing an available dredge within 12 miles of the project site to meet the urgent 23-day timeline and technical requirements for the sill's construction.
