What the notice says

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) Portland District intends to solicit construction firms who are interested in submitting a competitive firm-fixed-price proposal for this project. This PRESOLICITATION announcement is for the construction/repair of the Miller-Rice Pile Dikes located between River Mile 22 and River Mile 25 on the Columbia River in Wahkiakum County, Washington. Project Scope: The project consists of enhancing and connecting the enrockments of PD 23.82 and PD 23.71 and repairing and enhancing PD 24.63. The enrockment for PD 23.71 and PD 23.81 will be raised uniformly and en… (show all)

hanced to connect the two pile dikes. The repair and enhancement of the centerline of PD 24.63 will be approximately 10 feet downstream (west) of the existing pile dike piles centerline. This placement allows for enhanced enrockment construction without the need for removal of existing piles. The offset placement of the enhanced enrockment may also allow for phased placement over time as the existing pile dike continues to degrade. Furthermore, locating the enhanced enrockment slightly downstream eliminates the need for removal of large amounts of debris on the upstream side of the existing pile dike. The enhanced enrockment crest will be raised from an existing elevation of approximately El. -15 feet NAVD88 to El. -5 feet NAVD88. For the northern (nearshore) portion of the dike, from Sta. 1+00 to Sta. 0+25 the enhanced enrockment crest will slope downward from El. -5 feet NAVD88 to El. -12 feet NAVD88, from Sta 0+25 to 0+04 the enhanced enrockment crest will have an El. of -12 feet NAVD88. The northern (nearshore) end of the enhanced enrockment will terminate in 14 foot wide by 4-foot-thick rock scour apron. For the southern (offshore) 480 feet of the dike (Sta. 8+00 to 12+80), the crest will slope downward from El. -5 feet NAVD88 to El. -16 feet NAVD88 at the offshore end where it will tie into the existing enrockment at a 2H:1V slope. The enhanced enrockment will have an 8-foot crest width and 1.5H:1V side slopes. The design includes construction of 8 new hazard marker piles to designate the locations of the submerged enrockments. The new hazard marker piles are driven mono pile structures. Hazard marker pile design is a steel pipe monopile. The hazard marker pile will have a 3-foot by 3-foot navigation hazard sign affixed to the top. The top of the pile is positioned at 20 feet NAVD88. Acquisition Strategy: The solicitation will be an Invitation for Bid (IFB). Award will be made to the lowest priced, responsible, and responsive offeror. This acquisition will result in a single fixed-price contract. Magnitude of Construction: The estimated cost of the project is between $25,000,000.00 and $100,000,000.00. Set Asides and Codes: This requirement would be solicited as �Total Small Business Set-Aside�. The North American Industrial Classification Code (NAICS) for this potential requirement would be 237990 � �Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction�. The PSC is Z2QA REPAIR OR ALTERATION OF RESTORATION OF REAL PROPERTY (PUBLIC OR PRIVATE). Bid Procedures: The solicitation will be posted on SAM.GOV website once it is issued. Bid Period: The solicitation is tentatively scheduled for release in July 2026. The tentative date for receipt of proposals will be in September 2026. Plans and Specifications: The Plans and Specifications will also be posted on beta.SAM.gov website once it is issued. System for Award Management (SAM): Offerors must register in the SAM at: https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ prior to submission of bids and prior to receiving an award.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
