Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District, intends to award a firm fixed-price construction contract for the Oldmans Dredged Material Placement Facility (DMPF) Dike Raising Construction Project in Pedricktown, NJ. This project involves large-scale earthwork to construct earthen embankments. Proposals are due May 25, 2026.
Scope of Work
This project requires the construction of approximately 12,000 linear feet of earthen embankments at the Oldmans DMPF, adjacent to the Delaware River. The work involves moving and compacting approximately 564,200 cubic yards of dredged materials from within the 290-acre site. Contractors must have significant experience with large-scale earthwork projects and access to substantial earthmoving equipment and labor to complete the work within an 18-month period.
The project involves working with predominately fine-grained soils, requiring consistent and active moisture conditioning, prudent earthwork techniques (disking, aeration, positive drainage), and protection of exposed subgrades. A licensed Geotechnical Engineer will be required for proposal preparation and work plans. Additionally, the work includes the installation of three steel sluice structures and associated 30-inch steel outfall pipes, which will be Government Furnished Materials.
