IFB#52-26-SKL Warfield Canal Dredging -REPOST

The City of Portsmouth, Virginia is requesting bids for the Warfield Canal Dredging project under IFB 52-26-SKL, with bids due August 12, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EDT and public opening on August 13 via Microsoft Teams.

The scope includes dredging of specified areas within Warfield Canal, removal of trash and debris within the existing trash boom and proposed dredge areas, removal of six small trees with trimming costs contingent on equipment selection, removal and disposal of culvert pipe with endwall placement, and contracted pre- and post-dredge surveys through Rouse-Sirine Associates, LTD at the bidder's cost. The City has contracted separately for aquatic herbicide application to eliminate alligator weed, relieving the successful bidder of that responsibility.

Access to the site is provided via Cavalier Boulevard right-of-way for dredging operations and through a 25-foot wide drainage easement for culvert removal and endwall work. Contractors must install a VDOT EW-1 headwall for outfall stabilization rather than rip rap due to easement and grading constraints. Work near overhead power lines on Cavalier Boulevard must comply with OSHA and Dominion Energy easement requirements.

Addendum No. 1, posted August 2, 2026, clarifies project requirements and addresses ten bidder inquiries regarding scope, equipment specifications, and site conditions. Bidders must submit signed acknowledgment of Addendum No. 1 prior to the bid deadline or attach it to their bid submission, along with the original signed Invitation for Bids document. Questions due date and estimated contract value are not specified in the available materials.
