RFP #: [Municipal Dredge Water Management 1]

*There will be no pre-proposal meeting.  Project partners are not looking for every response to have expertise in every category of need.

Middle Peninsula Chesapeake Bay Public Access Authority and the Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission (collectively “Middle Peninsula Partners”) solicit proposals from one or more qualified engineering firms to assist with the development of a regional dredging program and general water management services.  Recurring storms and coastal weather events continue to deposit significant volumes of sediment within the Middle Peninsula’s navigable waterways, reducing channel depths and restricting access to existing piers, docks, marinas, boat ramps, and moorings. As a result, both commercial and recreational marine traffic are increasingly unable to safely navigate these waterways. At the same time, flooding, shoreline erosion, and storm-related damages are creating substantial economic challenges for the region, threatening public infrastructure, private property, maritime commerce, tourism, and the long-term stability of local government real estate tax revenues.  In response to requests from counties and towns throughout Virginia’s Middle Peninsula, the Middle Peninsula Chesapeake Bay Public Access Authority (PAA) and the Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission (MPPDC) are partnering to develop and implement cross sectoral  regional solutions to these growing water management challenges. The PAA serves as the governmental entity of record with the statutory authority and responsibility to develop and deliver dredging solutions that enhance public access, navigability, and community resilience.

All proposals shall be turned in no later than [12:01] [P.M.] EST on _______July 29_____, 2026 to Lewis L. Lawrence, Executive Director, Middle Peninsula Chesapeake Bay Public Access Authority (PAA) located at 4521 Lewis B. Puller Memorial Highway, Mattaponi, VA 23110.  Any proposals that are submitted by phone, or facsimile shall not be considered. Any proposals received after the deadline shall be deemed non-responsive and returned unopened. It is the Offeror’s sole responsibility to ensure all information; including addendums are complete and delivered on time. The Middle Peninsula Partners reserve the right to reject any and all proposals and to waive informalities. Because proposals must be delivered to the address above for PAA, if PAA closes its offices due to inclement weather, scheduled receipt of proposals will be extended to the next business day, same time.
