USACE has issued the FY26 Richmond Inner Harbor maintenance dredging RFP. The firm-fixed-price package covers Reaches 1 through 14 to -37 feet MLLW with one foot of paid overdepth, and directs suitable dredged material to Montezuma Wetlands. Proposals are due 14 August 2026.

Project signal

Tender in United States

Use the 15 July solicitation for the current deadline, cost range, depth and placement route. The March navigation schedule is retained as procurement history, but its 350,000-cubic-yard planning quantity, USD 5 million to USD 10 million range and July award target do not control the updated RFP. No current public document reviewed here identifies a contractor, accepted baseline quantity, mobilisation date or post-dredge result.

Project anatomy

Scope, counterparties, and execution logic

Client / authority
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, San Francisco District
Delivery parties
No contractor selected in the reviewed solicitation
Contract route
Full and open request for proposals using lowest-price technically acceptable evaluation for one firm-fixed-price contract
Execution window
Proposals due 14 August 2026 at 11:30 PDT; award, notice to proceed and field window remain unconfirmed
Works package
Maintenance dredging of Reaches 1 through 14 to -37 feet MLLW with one foot of paid overdepth, with suitable material transported to Montezuma Wetlands
Marine interfaces
Mechanical channel dredging across an operating commercial harbor, reach-by-reach hydrographic control, barge transport, DMMO suitability and wetland-placement acceptance
Commercial read
The updated solicitation estimates USD 10 million to USD 25 million and packages all 14 reaches into one firm-fixed-price contract. The earlier USACE planning deck carried a lower cost band and 350,000-cubic-yard planning estimate; those figures should not be presented as the current contract value or final quantity.
Next milestone
Solicitation amendments and proposal close, followed by award, contractor and plant identification, baseline reach quantities, mobilisation and accepted placement evidence

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.

USACE issued the updated full RFP

The current notice set the 14 August proposal deadline, USD 10 million to USD 25 million estimate, LPTA evaluation, 14-reach scope, -37-foot requirement and Montezuma route without identifying an award or contractor.

USACE opened the procurement record

The presolicitation established the planned 14-reach package and placement route. Its anticipated dates were superseded by the updated solicitation.

The FY2026 planning schedule set an initial baseline

The district planning deck carried a 350,000-cubic-yard estimate, lower cost band and July award target. Those planning figures are retained for change tracking, not treated as current contract terms.

Record control

Evidence reviewed date is not a project-event date.

IMWO changes phase, participants, scope, completion, or acceptance wording only when a dated source establishes the change. The review date records when the evidence set was checked; it does not claim that physical work changed on that date.

Source record

SAM.gov Notice ID W912P726RA020 controls the current procurement state. The updated full-and-open RFP was published 15 July 2026, with proposals due 14 August. It sets lowest-price technically acceptable evaluation, one firm-fixed-price contract and a USD 10 million to USD 25 million estimate. The scope covers -37 feet MLLW plus one foot paid overdepth across Reaches 1 through 14, with suitable material routed to Montezuma Wetlands. The 9 June presolicitation is retained as the earlier notice. The FY2026 navigation schedule records a 350,000-cubic-yard, USD 5 million to USD 10 million planning baseline and earlier target dates; it is not used as the current package quantity, value or deadline. The Richmond survey index is the route for current and post-dredge hydrography. The programme EA/EIR separates the 41-foot authorized depth from the 38-foot funding-limited maintenance context; neither replaces the current solicitation requirement.

Phase: tender. Evidence reviewed: 19 July 2026.
