Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Savannah District, is conducting a Sources Sought / Request for Information for the FY26 Brunswick Inner Harbor Maintenance Dredging Project in Brunswick, GA. This is market research to identify qualified firms for civil works construction, with an estimated magnitude between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The project is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Responses are due by April 17, 2026.
Scope of Work
This project involves furnishing personnel, transportation, mobilization, demobilization, equipment, and materials for maintenance dredging. The work traditionally uses a hydraulic cutterhead dredge and is expected to remove up to 500,000 cubic yards of material. The anticipated period of performance is 120 days after Notice to Proceed.
Dredging will occur in the Brunswick Inner Harbor, specifically targeting the East River (including the East River Turning Basin), South Brunswick River, Brunswick River, and Lower Turtle River. Material will be placed in the Andrews Island Dredged Material Containment Area. Advanced maintenance depths are specified for various sections, with environmental windows limiting dredging timing, particularly regarding Least Tern nesting.
