The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District intends to issue a Request for Proposal to award a single firm fixed price contract for the removal of dredged material from Erie Pier in Duluth, Minnesota. The solicitation will be issued under W911XK25R0018.

Erie Pier Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) is an 82-acre disposal facility located near 40th Avenue East in Duluth-Superior Harbor. The facility is used as a stockpile site for dredge material taken from Duluth Superior Harbor and other sites. The intent of this project is to move a portion of that material to upland sites for beneficial reuse.

The goal of this project is the removal of fine-grained dredged material from specific locations in the Erie Pier CDF. Material will be transported to specified destinations for beneficial reuse. Services include various project management and administrative tasks as well as dewatering material (as needed), loading and delivery of material to each destination. Remove a total of 55,000 cubic yards of fine-grained dredged material from a specified stockpile within Erie Pier CDF.

Note that other contractors are engaged in placing dredge material and performing other work in and around the CDF, and the access road to the CDF site is being used by other contractors. In addition, coordination may be necessary with contractors or others present at the destination sites who may be engaged in other work. Restore haul roads within the CDF to pre-work conditions upon completion of the project.
