Quick Summary
The Department of the Army / USACE Detroit District is soliciting bids for the Lexington Harbor Breakwater Repair project in Lexington, MI. This project, designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, involves critical infrastructure repair to prevent sand infiltration and reconstruct the breakwater walkway. Multiple amendments have been issued, extending the bid due date and revising specifications. Bids are due by March 12, 2026.
Scope of Work
The project addresses the permeable rubble mound north breakwater at Lexington Harbor, which currently allows sand shoaling due to voids. The primary objective is to transform the existing permeable structure into an impermeable one by constructing a grout curtain wall. This wall will utilize chemical grout within sand-filled areas and cementitious grout above them. Upon completion of grouting operations, the existing Portland cement concrete walkway, which is approximately 5 feet wide and generally in good condition, will be reconstructed. The scope includes mobilization, demobilization, drilling and grouting operations, verification borings, topcoat void fill, handrail dismantling and reassembly, and concrete cap demolition and replacement. An option for additional drilling and grouting operations is also included.
