Oldmans Dredged Material Placement Facility (DMPF) Dike Raising Construction

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District, will award a firm‑fixed‑price, total‑small‑business set‑aside contract (Solicitation W912BU26RA013, NAICS 237990) for the Oldmans Dredged Material Placement Facility (DMPF) Dike Raising Construction Project in Salem County, NJ. The effort requires constructing approximately 12,000 ft of earthen embankments by moving, compacting, and grading about 564,200 cy of fine‑grained dredged material across a 290‑acre site, with three government‑furnished steel sluice structures and 30‑in. outfall pipes. The contract’s period of performance is 550 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, and award will be based on best‑value evaluation of Technical Approach, Past Performance, and Price. Offerors must be registered in SAM and PIEE, submit proposals through the PIEE Solicitation Module, and provide a licensed Geotechnical Engineer to evaluate subsurface data and develop work plans. Because the dredged soils are silty‑clayey and highly moisture‑sensitive, the contractor must employ prudent earthwork techniques—including disking, stockpile management, aeration, positive drainage, traffic control, and scheduled drying days—to maintain optimal moisture content and achieve required compaction. Protection of exposed subgrades, active moisture conditioning, and mitigation of seepage, softening, and loss of shear strength are critical. Successful firms must possess extensive large‑scale earthwork experience, substantial earth‑moving equipment, and labor resources to complete the work within the 18‑month schedule.
