Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District
- Delivery parties
- Ryba Marine Construction Company - prime dredging contractor, Lower-tier marine subcontractors, disposal-site operators and suppliers - not identified in the cited public records
- Contract route
- SAM.gov notice W912P426BA002 solicited a Toledo Harbor and Maumee River single-award task-order contract as a total small business set-aside. USACE's 10 August release names Ryba Marine Construction, records a USD 11.1 million two-year contract, and identifies the USD 5.3 million first task order issued on 6 August. The USD 5.8 million second task order expected in 2027 remains unissued and unobligated in the cited records.
- Execution window
- The 2026 task order is scheduled from September through December 2026. A separate USD 5.8 million task order is expected in 2027; the cited records provide no issue date, quantities or field window for that second order.
- Works package
- Mechanical maintenance dredging along the full Maumee River federal navigation channel, from the upstream turning basin to the river mouth at Maumee Bay, with approximately 750,000 cubic yards contracted for placement in confined disposal facilities operated by USACE and the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority.
- Marine interfaces
- The work spans the river section of a deep-draft commercial harbor, requires navigation coordination through an active channel, scow handling and confined-disposal logistics, and must preserve access while working from the turning basin to Maumee Bay.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- USD 11.1 million is the two-year contract total, not the 2026 task-order value. USD 5.3 million is the issued 2026 task order. USD 5.8 million is the expected 2027 task order and remains forward-looking. The approximately 750,000 cubic yards belongs to the current 2026 task order; no 2027 quantity is exposed in the cited records.
