Project 12018
Lower Harbor ODMDS Dredging
MOBILE, ALABAMA
The work consists principally of providing bonds, plant, labor, materials, equipment, and supervision
necessary for the Lower Harbor ODMDS Dredging in Mobile, Alabama. The scope of work performed will
include dredging to a depth of -50 feet (-54 with maintenance and allowable ovedredging). The location
of this work is at the Alabama Port Authority (APA) Lower Harbor. All dredging will be performed,
confirmed, and paid as per high frequency, third-party, hydrographic surveying, west zone NAD 83 at
MLLW.
This work will consist of dredging approximately 235,000 cubic yards of material at a performance rate of
12,000 cubic yards per day. This specific volume of material is not a guarantee of the amount of
contractual work; this is only a basis for bid evaluation.
Dredging will be performed in January to include McDuffie Terminal (Docks 1 and 2), APM Terminal (north
and south), and Pinto Terminal. There is also a bid additive to include McDuffie Terminal Dock 3. This
project requires that dredge material be barged to the Mobile Ocean Dredge Material Disposal Site
(ODMDS). This site is located approximately 35 nautical miles south of the project location. All items must
be bid.
The bidder must also be flexible with the vessel/barge traffic with no interruptions to the course of
maritime business. This will require close coordination with the Harbormaster, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, McDuffie Terminal facility managers, surveyors, local bar pilots, and others as necessary. The
awarded bidder must be ready to start no later than January 15, 2027. Other start dates may be
considered through an official addendum during the bid process.
Specifications, proposal forms, bid and performance bond forms, and plans are available on the Alabama
Port Authority website at www.alports.com/procurement. You may contact the project manager, Wesley
Jackson, for additional information at wesley.jackson@alports.com. The deadline for bidders to submit
questions shall be 5:00 PM (CDT), Monday, October 26, 2026.
A Guarantee will be required with each bid as follows: At least five percent (5%) of the amount bid, but
in no event more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), shall be furnished in the form of a certified check
or bid bond payable to the Alabama Port Authority. A Performance Bond in an amount not less than the

sum bid will be required at the signing of the contract and, in addition, a bond in an amount not less than
one hundred percent (100%) of the contract price, insuring payment of all labor and material.
No bid will be considered unless the bidder, whether resident or non-resident of Alabama, is properly
qualified to submit a proposal for this work in accordance with all applicable laws of the State of Alabama.
This shall include evidence of holding a current license as required from the State Licensing Board for
General Contractors, Montgomery, Alabama with the license classification being H/RR: Heavy and

with the Secretary of State to do business in Alabama.
The Contractor will be paid the unit price amount for the work performed. The estimated quantities listed
on the schedule of prices are listed as information only. The Contractor shall review the surveys and satisfy
themselves as to the conditions and volumes to be encountered. All dredging will be performed,
confirmed, and paid as per high frequency, third-party, hydrographic surveying, west zone NAD 83 at
MLLW, 1929.
