INTRODUCTION: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Detroit District is seeking firms that have the capability of completing this project for an earthwork effort at the Pointe Mouillee Confined Disposal Facility (CDF), beginning with mobilization to the site and including large-scale vegetation clearing across Cells 1 and 2 to prepare the work area. Following an initial topographic survey, substantial earthmoving will be undertaken to construct 3-foot-high, 50-foot-wide, 13,000-foot-long internal berms offset from the existing perimeter dikes around Cells 1 and 2, using on-site material and creating drainage ditches between the new berms and the perimeter road. The internal berm construction will bypass the existing weir structures to avoid raising them, with four pipes installed in each cell through or below the berms equipped with flap gates or valves to convey water from the 3-foot section to the original weirs. The cells will then be regraded to ensure positive drainage toward the weirs while maintaining existing ditches where they already provide effective conveyance. The work will conclude with a final topographic survey to verify grades, followed by full demobilization upon completion.

The contractor will have an estimated 8 months to complete this requirement. The contract is expected to be solicited in spring of 2026.

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: The place of performance will be located at South Rockwood, Monroe County, MI.
