Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District
Delivery parties
Cottrell Contracting Corporation
Contract route
W912BU25CA009; the owner reports a $9.6 million award for southern-canal dredging and northern placement.
Execution window
DQM lists 1 October 2026 start and 28 February 2027 estimated end. The August owner announcement expected the October-March winter campaign.
Works package
Approximately89,000yd³ announced from Route 9 Bridge south to Rehoboth Bay, hydraulically pumped to northern placement areas using booster pumps.
Marine interfaces
The advancing dredge, booster and pipe arrangement connects the southern cut to receiving cells along a navigation waterway used by commercial and recreational craft.
Commercial evidence boundary
A pumping estimate needs the selected cut, pipe configuration and receiving-cell duty. The aggregate award includes work beyond excavation and supplies no standalone measured dredging unit rate.
