The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking a contractor to hydraulically move stockpiled dredge material (i.e. sand) from McMillan Island to the Buck Creek Placement Site. Both sites are Government-owned, and located in Upper Mississippi River Pool 10, north of Guttenberg, Iowa.

McMillan Island is an island, without road access, located at UMRM 618.7. The site is loaded with dredged material from the main river channel. The Buck Creek site is an upland placement site, located approximately 2.2 miles downstream. There is an estimated 126,000 CY of material to be moved. Due to geographic and environmental conditions, unloading operations from McMillan Island to Buck Creek are limited to hydraulic means only. Mechanical dredging is not allowed.

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

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 237990, with a Small Business Size Standard of $39,500,000.
