Norfolk CSRM Phase 1A-Water Street Floodwall Standalone Construction DBB Project located in Norfolk, Virginia

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Norfolk District has issued a Sources Sought Notice (W9123626X1CBJ) to conduct market research and identify qualified contractors for the Norfolk Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) Phase 1A-Water Street Floodwall project in Norfolk, Virginia. This standalone, Design-Bid-Build construction project involves building a new bin wall, an L-shaped wall supported by H-piles, a wetland living shoreline with rip rap toe, and pedestrian access stairs. The estimated construction magnitude is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000, with an anticipated solicitation date in the first quarter of FY27 and a construction duration of 12 to 18 months. The project falls under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) with a small business size standard of $45 million. USACE is seeking capability statements (maximum 10 pages) from both large and small businesses detailing their relevant experience, SAM registration status, and bonding capacity. Additionally, because the project meets the $35 million threshold under Executive Order 14063, the government is requesting industry feedback on the potential use and impact of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA). Interested prime contractors must submit their responses electronically to Raven Sasser and Candace Lotomau by 2:00 p.m. EDT on August 24, 2026.
