Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
USACE Philadelphia District / New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection / participating Absecon Island municipalities
Delivery parties
Agate Construction Co., Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, named in the August award
Contract route
Federal procurement W912BU26BA026, advertised 1 July and amended 21 July; the district announces a USD 19.695 million award on 27 August. The final option breakdown is not disclosed in the announcement.
Execution window
The July solicitation allows 480 calendar days from notice to proceed. The reviewed award does not give the issued notice date, actual mobilisation or a final completion date; the tender period is not independently confirmed as unchanged in the awarded contract.
Works package
Seven named outfall locations: New Jersey, St James, Virginia and California in Atlantic City; Jackson in Ventnor; Nassau and Vendome in Margate. Separate vehicle-ramp works at New Haven Avenue in Ventnor. Each outlet is described as repair or extension, not automatically both.
Marine interfaces
Stormwater collection connects through existing pipes to a tidal receiving beach. Tendered support demolition, repair and pile driving meet excavation, beach reinstatement and dune-access interfaces. Actual methods, plant and final hydraulic details remain undisclosed.
Commercial evidence boundary
The announced award value concerns the current package, not the wider island nourishment programme or the original Margate drainage system. Bid options cannot all be presumed exercised, and no final account or lower-tier allocation is provided.
