W912PM25BA006

Intent to Consolidate Notice

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District requires a contract to perform maintenance dredging of two (2) dredging projects. The areas of consideration for these dredging services are the upper Wilmington Harbor federal navigation channel reaches including the Anchorage Basin and Turning Basin Extension, North Carolina; and dredging of middle Wilmington Harbor federal navigation channels from Upper Brunswick to Battery Island, North Carolina.

In accordance with FAR 7.107-5, the Government intends to consolidate two contracts for maintenance dredging of Anchorage Basin and Turning Basin Extension; and the dredging of middle Wilmington Harbor federal navigation channels from Upper Brunswick to Battery Island, performed by a large business. The consolidated effort will be solicited as unrestricted. The consolidation of the two identified projects is in the best interest of the Government. This consolidation meets the requirements of FAR 7.107 and the benefits of the consolidated acquisition would substantially exceed the benefits that would be derived from an alternative approach. Therefore, the Government found that consolidation is necessary and justified and shall be available for seven days prior to the release of the solicitation for this requirement. The solicitation is anticipated for release on or around 02 May 2025.
