Dagger point coastal and marine habitat protection and restoration

The Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program, Inc. (CBBEP) is seeking bids for the Dagger Point Coastal and Marine Habitat Protection and Restoration project located at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge on San Antonio Bay. The procurement involves constructing a comprehensive shoreline protection and restoration initiative, including up to 26,400 linear feet of stone breakwater, 11,000 tons of nearshore stone groins, and 16,000 cubic yards of groin field fill. Project requirements encompass pre-construction, quality control, and post-construction surveying, along with detailed photographic documentation and aerial photography. Bidders must provide geotextile, stone, settlement plate, and navigation aid installations as part of the project scope. The procurement timeline includes a virtual pre-bid conference scheduled for May 1, 2025, at 10:00 am, with sealed bids due by May 29, 2025, at 4:00 pm. A public bid opening is set for May 30, 2025, at 10:00 am. Potential bidders must submit any questions to Anchor QEA, LLC by May 12, 2025, at 5:00 pm, with answers to be provided to plan holders by May 16, 2025.

Bid documents can be obtained digitally at no cost from Anchor QEA, LLC by contacting Renee Robertson, with printed copies available for a non-refundable fee of $75.00. Bids must be delivered to 1305 N. Shoreline, Suite 205, Corpus Christi, TX 78401 or mailed via certified mail to PO Box 23025, Corpus Christi, TX 78403-3025. The bid envelope must be addressed to Rosario Martinez and include specific notation of the bid opening date/time and "Sealed Bid - Do Not Open" marking. While the document does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, the technical complexity of the coastal habitat restoration project suggests a need for specialized environmental engineering and marine construction expertise. The procurement is specifically tied to Angelina County and the state of Texas, potentially limiting broader competitive bidding. No specific budget range or award value is directly stated in the available documentation, though the extensive scope of shoreline protection and restoration work implies a significant investment in coastal environmental infrastructure.
