U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Hague Basin maintenance dredging
Breakwater Marine, LLC holds U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contract W912DS26CA007 to maintenance-dredge Hague Basin at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York. USACE's 1 June release describes about 51,000 cubic yards and target depths of 15 feet at the entrance and 12 feet inside the basin. The Coast Guard later identified a 60-by-155-foot dredge, ten 35-by-200-foot scows, a pushboat and work skiff in the May-July operating window. USACE's current programme page still labels construction ongoing; no completion or acceptance record was located.

Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, U.S. Department of Transportation, with delivery by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District
- Delivery parties
- Breakwater Marine, LLC - prime contractor for Hague Basin maintenance dredging, Dredging plant, scow, pushboat, survey, sediment transport, upland processing and disposal lower tiers - federal award and project records do not identify separate appointments
- Contract route
- USAspending records firm-fixed-price definitive contract W912DS26CA007, solicitation W912DS26BA011, signed 7 May 2026 after five sealed bids under full and open competition with no set-aside. The base, exercised and all-options values are each USD 12,984,450. USAspending lists a DOD comprehensive subcontract plan but no reported subaward.
- Execution window
- USAspending lists a 15 May to 19 June 2026 performance period and a 20 July last-modified date. Field operations were scheduled by the Coast Guard from 29 May to 1 July, daily 06:00-18:00. These dates establish administrative and marine-operating windows, not completed dredging, owner acceptance or contract closeout. The current USACE programme page says construction is ongoing.
- Works package
- USACE's public release describes removal of about 51,000 cubic yards to restore 15 feet at the basin entrance and 12 feet inside. The regulatory record separates about 9,375 cubic yards in Area 1 and 42,265 cubic yards in Area 2, each with two feet of allowable overdepth, across about 4.35 acres. Dredged material is to go to contractor-furnished, state-permitted upland processing and disposal facilities.
- Marine interfaces
- Named equipment comprises a 60-by-155-foot dredge, 25-by-14-foot pushboat, ten 35-by-200-foot scows and 20-by-8-foot aluminum work skiff. The Coast Guard permits no more than six barges moored at one time, requires gates for vessel passage, turbidity curtains and a 60-minute vessel-movement window, and uses VHF channels 13 and 16. The work supports safe transit and docking for academy training vessels inside a constrained live basin.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- USD 12,984,450 is the exact current federal obligation and equals the published base and all-options value. The USACE release rounds this to USD 12.9 million. USAspending reports no outlay, subaward amount or subaward count, so the obligation is not a paid final account and the DOD subcontract plan does not identify actual lower-tier appointments.
