Bahia grande habitat restoration project brownsville, texas

Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program, Inc. (CBBEP) is requesting sealed bids for the Bahia Grande Habitat Restoration Project in Brownsville, Texas, with bids due September 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time and a virtual pre-bid conference scheduled for August 25, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. via Microsoft Teams.

The project is located within the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge in Cameron County. The base scope includes mobilization and demobilization, construction of an off-loading pad, restoration of an existing boat ramp for marine access, placement of turbidity curtains, and transport and installation of pre-constructed Ultra Reef Balls for breakwater shoreline protection at Rookery Islands A and B. Two additive alternates are offered: Additive Alternate No. 1 covers placement of turbidity curtains and installation of Ultra Reef Balls at Rookery Island C, and Additive Alternate No. 2 covers construction of an alternate access road. The project prohibits dredging activities and requires that seagrass not be damaged or impacted. CBBEP will construct and stockpile Reef Balls at a staging area and construct or improve the main access road; the contractor collects pre-constructed Reef Balls from the stockpile and transports them across shallow open water to the islands for installation per construction drawings.

The question deadline is 5:00 p.m. on August 27, 2026, with responses due by 5:00 p.m. on September 1, 2026. Sealed bids will be publicly opened and read at CBBEP's office at 1305 N Shoreline Boulevard, Suite 205, Corpus Christi, Texas 78401.
