Summary

AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025

A dredging contract for Willapa Harbor will maintain three federal navigation channels (Bay Center, Nahcotta, and Tokeland) to their authorized depths using mechanical clamshell dredging, with a total dredging amount up to about 180,000 cubic yards. Dredge depths range from -10 ft to -15 ft MLLW with +2 ft overdepth at each location, plus an additional ~10,000 cubic yards may be needed in the Bay Center/Palix River Access Lane to ensure safe passage for the dredge and support vessels. Dredged material will be disposed at specified open-water bottom-dump disposal sites. Work is expected to start in summer 2026 and will run 3–7 months, with in-water work windows varying by feature and notable safety challenges due to Willapa Bay’s navigational hazards and weather.

An Industry Day will be held virtually to share information and collect industry feedback on this construction dredging project. The government is seeking qualified, experienced sources and will consider a wide range of bidders (prime and sub) for a contract in the $5–$10 million range. To express interest in attending, provide your company name, UEI, primary business role (prime or sub), and any Small Business Program inquiries to the designated contract specialists, referencing the Virtual Willapa Bay Dredging in the subject line. Additional small-business resources will be referenced during the process.

INDUSTRY DAY Willapa Harbor Maintenance Dredging LOCATION: Virtual - information provided below. DATE: 27 August 2025 TIME: 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM PDT DESCRIPTION: The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Northwestern Division - Seattle District (NWS) is hosting a Virtual Industry Day on 27 AUGUST 2025 to provide additional information and gain feedback from industry on the upcoming Willapa Harbor Maintenance Dredging project in Willapa Harbor, Washington. The Government is seeking qualified, experienced sources capable of performing this type of project. The agency has been tasked to solicit for and award a construction contract to maintenance dredge the Bay Center, Nahcotta, and Tokeland Federal Navigation Channels to their authorized depths. Up to 180,000 CYis expected to be dredged across the three features via mechanical clamshell dredging. The minimum required dredging depth varies from -10 ft (Bay Center and Nahcotta) to -15 ft (Tokeland), MLLW, +2 ft overdepth at each location. In addition, dredging approximately 10,000 CY to a minimum depth of -9 ft MLLW (+1 ft overdepth) may be required in the Bay Center/Palix River Access Lane to ensure sufficient water depths for the dredge, scow, and tugboats to transit between Bay Center and the disposal sites. This amount has the potential to change due to the dynamic nature of the Palix River at its confluence with Willapa Bay. Dredged material will be disposed via bottom dump scow at the Cape Shoalwater open-water dispersive disposal site or the South Channel open-water dispersive disposal site. Work is anticipated to begin in summer 2026. The work window varies by project features. For any given calendar year, the in-water work windows are as follows: Bay Center/Palix River: 16 Jul through 30 Sep Nahcotta: 16 Jul through 01 Feb Tokeland: 16 Jul through 15 Feb Willapa Bay presents significant navigational hazards due to its exposed Pacific Ocean entrance, unmaintained channels, shifting shoals, and unpredictable weather. This performance window includes the worst season for storm and marine conditions. The U.S. Coast Guard has removed aids-to-navigation at Willapa Bar because of unreliable conditions, and their Waterways Analysis notes over 50 unreported groundings annually. These hazards present serious safety concerns for contractors and local users, complicating mobilization and dredging operations throughout the project area. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36, the estimated construction price range for this project is: Between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. Estimated duration of the dredging activities is 3-7 months. The VIRTUAL Industry Day Event will take place on 27 August 2025 at 11:00 AM PDT via Microsoft Teams.
