DTA Engenharia Ltda: September adjudicated contractor for integrated design and dredging.
Contract route
Procurement references: 007/2026; 31.203.000055.2026; Termo de Compromisso 003/2026. Integrated procurement combining design with result-based deepening and rock removal. The 17 September adjudication names DTA at BRL 68,817,995.57; the ministry records the separate 23 October funding addendum.
Execution window
Ministry expects design from November 2026, physical work March 2027 and completion July 2027. Actual dates require the executed programme and work records.
Works package
Basic and detailed design, access-channel and turning-basin deepening, sediment dredging and rock removal. Planned turning-circle diameter grows from 330m to 450m.
Marine interfaces
Starting bed, target surface and soil/rock distribution define excavation and plant selection. Sedimentation during the work can increase the material required to deliver the result.
Commercial evidence boundary
Funding allocation BRL 71.15 million combines federal BRL 44.45 million and state BRL 26.70 million. Tender payment follows monthly measurement, approval and invoice; financing-cost risk is allocated to the contractor in the published matrix.
