Sinclair Brook Bridges, West Point, New York

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New York is seeking a design-build contractor for the Sinclair Brook Restoration project at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. The procurement involves repairing flood damage from a July 2023 torrential rain event across five distinct areas along Sinclair Brook, including culvert replacement, stream restoration, bridge replacements (specifically two golf course bridges - a golf cart bridge and pedestrian bridge), stone masonry wall repairs, and drainage path restoration. This is a two-phase selection process where Phase One requires qualified firms to submit past performance information demonstrating experience with 2-3 similar projects completed within the last 10 years involving civil/horizontal stormwater systems or stream/river bank restoration with construction costs of $9,000,000 or more. The Source Selection Evaluation Board will assess proposals based on past performance relevance and confidence, selecting up to five top-qualified firms to proceed to Phase Two. The current Phase One proposal submission deadline is June 30, 2025 at 2:00 PM local time, with proposals limited to 30 pages and submitted electronically via email.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction). The contract has an estimated total value between $10-25 million and will be awarded as a firm-fixed price contract requiring performance and payment bonds. The selected contractor must begin performance within 5 calendar days of receiving notice to proceed and complete the entire project within 400 calendar days, while performing at least 20 percent of the work with their own organization. The work will be performed at West Point, New York on the military installation, with complex site restoration requirements that must match pre-storm site conditions while adhering to environmental protection guidelines and maintaining aesthetic standards. The contractor will be responsible for geotechnical investigations, designing and constructing new infrastructure, and implementing stormwater management and low impact development strategies across multiple locations on the West Point campus.
