What this contract is for

Agency: Charles County Government - DPW Facilities - Environmental Resources
Location: La Plata, MD
Scope: State & Local

The County Commissioners of Charles County are hereby requesting sealed bids from qualified dredging firms to provide wet dredging, hauling, and sediment disposal services within defined areas at Wheatley Dam reservoir. Bathymetric and sub-bottom profiling surveys conducted in late 2024 identified significant sediment accumulation in the northern and western cove areas of the reservoir. These two areas will be the focus of an initial dredging event. The amount of sediment dredged will be dependent upon the cost per cubic yard and all other associated project tasks. Due to the reservoir being in a public park, dredging activities will need to coincide with park accessibility and activities. Contractors are encouraged to review documents, drawings, and visit the site during normal business hours (if unable to attend the scheduled site visit) prior to submitting a bid. The site is located at Gilbert Run Park - 13140 Charles Street Charlotte Hall, MD 20622.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
