Quick Summary

The Department of the Army, USACE Savannah District, has issued a Presolicitation for the FY26 Savannah Inner Harbor Maintenance Dredging Project. This opportunity seeks construction services for maintenance dredging, traditionally performed with a hydraulic cutterhead dredge, with an anticipated duration of one year. Up to 5.6 million cubic yards of material are expected to be removed. Potential bidders are requested to submit capability statements and contact information by May 28, 2026.

Scope of Work

The project involves maintenance dredging of the deep draft Savannah Harbor navigation project in Georgia and South Carolina. Key areas include the Savannah Inner Harbor channel and the Kings Island Turning Basin (KITB), which requires dredging twice annually. Work includes furnishing personnel, transportation, mobilization/demobilization, and equipment/materials. Dredged material will be placed in upland confined disposal areas (DMCAs) adjacent to the Savannah River. The contract must adhere to environmental windows for Striped Bass spawning, dissolved oxygen, and sturgeon aggregation. Specific reaches may contain cadmium (Cd) requiring pre-dredging testing and special handling/disposal conditions. The contractor will also be responsible for identifying and removing obstructions. The base contract covers mobilization/demobilization, maintenance dredging, moves, dive team services, and equipment rental for obstruction removal. Contract options include Cd dredging with placement to DMCA 14B and maintenance dredging as cap material.
