Miller-Rice Islands Pile Dike System Repairs

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District is soliciting sealed bids for Miller-Rice Islands Pile Dike System Repairs on the Columbia River in Wahkiakum County, Washington, under solicitation W9127N26BA016, with bids due July 23, 2026. This is a 100 percent small business set-aside (total SBE) under NAICS 237990, with a $45 million size standard.

The scope includes enhancing and connecting enrockments of pile dikes (PD 23.82, PD 23.71, and PD 24.63) located between river miles 22.75 and 24.63. Work consists of five line items: mobilization and demobilization, rock placement at PD 24.63, marker pile installation, and two optional rock placement items at PD 23.81 and 23.71 with a connector. The enhanced enrockment at PD 24.63 will be placed approximately 10 feet downstream of the existing pile dike centerline to avoid pile removal and large-scale upstream debris clearance. All work is priced on a firm fixed-price basis, with the government evaluating options by adding total optional line-item prices to the basic requirement price.

The contract value ranges between $25 million and $100 million. A bid guarantee of 20 percent of the bid price or $3 million, whichever is less, is required. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the original contract price must be furnished upon award. Electronic bid submissions are required to christopher.d.burroughs@usace.army.mil and justin.f.figueredo@usace.army.mil.

All inquiries must be submitted via ProjNet-Bidsm at least 10 calendar days prior to bid close.
