Vermilion East Pier Repair

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District will be issuing a solicitation for repairs to the east section of the breakwall at the Vermilion East Pier in Erie County, Ohio. The scope of work involves repairing damages at the pier located on Lake Erie at the mouth of the Vermilion River, which has depths of 12 feet in the east lake approach channel, 12 feet in the entrance channel, 8 feet in the west lake approach channel, and 8 feet in the upper river channel protected by the east pier, west pier, and detached breakwater totaling 2,560 feet. Interested parties should monitor the Federal Business Opportunities website for the forthcoming solicitation, as this notice does not include evaluation criteria or a deadline for questions, responses or proposals.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The magnitude of repairs is estimated between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. As the Vermilion is a shallow draft recreational harbor, the main NAICS and PSC codes would relate to marine construction and repair services. The current contractor is unknown as this pre-solicitation notice simply provides advance visibility of the upcoming pier repair project solicitation to be issued out of the Buffalo District contracting office.
