Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Philadelphia District, intends to issue a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) construction contract for the Oldmans Dredged Material Placement Facility (DMPF) Dike Raising Project in Salem County, NJ. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. The solicitation (W912BU26RA013) is expected to be released on or about April 9, 2026.
Scope of Work
This large-scale earthwork project involves constructing approximately 12,000 linear feet of earthen embankments at the Oldmans DMPF, adjacent to the Delaware River. The contractor will be required to move and compact approximately 564,200 cubic yards of dredged materials from within the 290-acre site, ensuring final grading meets specified lines and grades. The work requires significant experience with large-scale earthwork, access to substantial earthmoving equipment, and labor. Challenges include managing fine-grained soils susceptible to moisture changes, requiring active moisture conditioning techniques (disking, aeration, drainage). A licensed Geotechnical Engineer will be required for data evaluation and work plan preparation. The project also includes installing three Government-Furnished steel sluice structures and associated 30-inch steel outfall pipes for site drainage.
