About this opportunity
The US Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District is soliciting bids for maintenance dredging services along critical waterways in the Delaware River system. The contract requires hydraulic dredging of approximately 2.5 million cubic yards of sediment from the Delaware River Philadelphia to Sea main navigation channel between Stations 0+000 and 515+000, plus an additional 400,000 cubic yards from Wilmington Harbor's Christina River. All dredged material must be placed in the Pedricktown and Delaware City disposal areas, with dredging performed to required depths allowing 1-2 feet of overdepth using contour dredging methods. The government will conduct before and after surveys for measurement purposes. The original solicitation underwent multiple amendments that moved the RFI deadline to August 19, 2025, and extended the bid opening date several times, ultimately to September 12, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to full and open competition. Based on the Abstract of Offers, three contractors submitted bids: Cottrell Contracting Corp. ($27,690,000), Norfolk Dredging Company ($30,700,000), and Weeks Marine ($77,510,000), with the government's independent estimate falling between the first two bidders. The contract has an estimated value range of $25,000,000 to $100,000,000 and requires completion within 240 calendar days of award. Work will be performed in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area along the Delaware River navigation channels and Wilmington Harbor. The project falls under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and involves critical infrastructure maintenance to ensure continued navigability of these major commercial waterways.
