Project anatomy
Scope, counterparties, and execution logic
- Client / authority
- Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
- Delivery parties
- Donjon Marine Co., LLC - preliminary low bidder, Jay Cashman, Inc. - preliminary second bidder, Posillico Civil, Inc. - preliminary third bidder
- Contract route
- Competitive Contract MFP-364.003 closed on 30 June 2026 after an advertised USD 50 million to USD 60 million estimate. The Port Authority's preliminary table records three estimated totals. Its bidder response directs award timing to the contract clause allowing acceptance or rejection within 60 days after bid opening; no award is identified.
- Execution window
- The engineer will issue work orders for terminal-specific tasks. The reviewed advertisement and public clarifications do not establish the first work order, notice to proceed, contract start, plant mobilisation or physical completion date. Each work order therefore needs its own location, quantity, sediment, placement, survey and acceptance record.
- Works package
- Maintenance dredging, amendment of dredged material, transport, disposal and related work at Port Newark, Elizabeth-Port Authority Marine Terminal, Port Jersey-Port Authority Marine Terminal and their New Jersey vicinities, plus Howland Hook Marine Terminal and its New York vicinity. The engineer controls the location and timing through individual work orders.
- Marine interfaces
- Bidders requested sediment chemistry, sediment test records, permit information and more time to evaluate disposal options. The Port Authority replied that the contractor must identify and choose the upland placement facility and follow the receiving state's acceptance criteria and regulations. That makes sediment suitability, facility capacity, cross-state transport and permit compliance part of delivery rather than a fixed owner-supplied route.
- Commercial read
- Donjon's preliminary total is USD 3.0072 million below Jay Cashman and USD 17.074 million below Posillico. The top two bids sit inside the advertised USD 50 million to USD 60 million range; Posillico is above it. These figures rank bids against the estimate but do not show evaluated responsiveness, award value, executed work orders or final paid quantity.
- Next milestone
- Track evaluated bid status, any formal award, the executed contract value, performance security, first work order, named dredging and material-processing plant, terminal and berth location, sediment classification, selected upland facility, state acceptance, measured quantity, post-dredge hydrography and work-order close-out.
Material change register
What changed, when, and what it proves
Only source-bound events that alter phase, scope, counterparties, delivery, completion, commissioning, or acceptance are listed. A change can advance the record without proving the next gate.
Three bids set the preliminary commercial range
Donjon Marine submitted USD 51.424 million, Jay Cashman USD 54.4312 million and Posillico Civil USD 68.498 million. The table is preliminary and does not identify an award.
Read controlling sourceThe final clarification left upland placement with the contractor
The contractor must select the upland facility and follow the receiving state's criteria. Sediment qualification, transport and facility acceptance remain live delivery interfaces.
Read controlling sourceThe Port Authority advertised a four-terminal work-order contract
MFP-364.003 packages maintenance dredging, material amendment, transport and disposal across three New Jersey terminal systems and Howland Hook in New York at an advertised USD 50 million to USD 60 million range.

Evidence needed next
Track evaluated bid status, any formal award, the executed contract value, performance security, first work order, named dredging and material-processing plant, terminal and berth location, sediment classification, selected upland facility, state acceptance, measured quantity, post-dredge hydrography and work-order close-out.
Decision watchpoints
- Formal evaluated bid result and contract award
- Award value, performance security and executed contract term
- First work order, terminal location and notice to proceed
- Named dredger, support plant and material-amendment method
- Sediment classification and receiving-state acceptance criteria
- Selected upland placement facility and transport route
- Pre- and post-dredge surveys, measured quantity and berth release
- Work-order completion, final payment and any change orders

The official advertisement defines the four-terminal work-order scope and USD 50 million to USD 60 million estimate. The official preliminary bid table supplies the three contractor totals. Addendum No. 1 identifies the sediment reports made available to bidders, while the final question log places upland-facility selection and state acceptance with the contractor and points to a 60-day bid-acceptance clause. The published package stops before award or physical work.
Phase: evaluation. Evidence reviewed: 19 July 2026.
