Sources Sought - FY26 Savannah Inner Harbor Dredging Project

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice (Solicitation No. W912HN26BA006) to assess market capability for the FY 26 Savannah Inner Harbor Maintenance Dredging contract (NAICS 237990, size standard $37 M; construction magnitude $25 M–$100 M). The effort will involve one year of construction services—including mobilization/demobilization, hydraulic cutter‑head or pipeline dredging, dive‑team support, obstruction removal, and equipment rental—to remove up to 5.6 million cubic yards of maintenance material from the inner harbor. Required dredge performance includes pumping over 50,000 linear feet with a 47 ft MLLW elevation change, dredging depths beyond –52 ft MLLW (max –70 ft), operating in river currents up to 7 ft/s for roughly 60 days, handling a semi‑diurnal tidal range of +10 to –2 ft, and supporting traffic of more than 50 ships per week while removing approximately 13,000 cy/day of mixed heavy sand, soft silty soils, and sand lenses. If a pipeline dredge is used, it must function as an obstruction probe; any discovered objects become contractor property unless culturally significant. Cadmium‑contaminated sediments (≥14 mg/kg) will be tested and, if present, must be disposed under special handling in designated DMCAs. Work is constrained by environmental windows for striped bass spawning (1 Apr‑15 May), dissolved‑oxygen limits (≈1 Jul‑30 Sep), and sturgeon protection (no dredging above STA 105 500 from 1 May‑31 Oct). Responses are to be submitted via email to Contract Specialist Rohan Bryan (rohan.a.bryan@usace.army.mil) and Contracting Officer MSGT Paul Gaeth (Paul.R.Gaeth@usace.army.mil) no later than 13:00 EDT on 15 April 2026. This notice is for market research only and does not obligate the Government to award a contract.
