NAICS Code 237990: Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction Small Business Standard: $37 million Magnitude of Construction: $100 - $500 million Project Title: Tampa Harbor Improvements Industry Day. Purpose: The purpose of this scheduled Industry Day is to provide the latest information regarding the future advertisement and award of Contract 1 for the Tampa Harbor Deepening Project. The scheduled event will include a detailed presentation by the Jacksonville District US Army Corps of Engineers, Tampa Harbor Project Delivery Team (PDT) followed by open Q&A and 1-1 meeting opportunities with contracts to ask more in-depth questions and get feedback as the design and permitting moves forward. Project Description: The project includes construction dredging to deepen and widen specified areas within the federal navigation channel of Tampa Harbor. The project is planned for six (6) contracts over an estimated 8–10-year period. The Scope of Work for this Industry Day will be focused on Contract 1. Contract 1 work includes deepening of Cut-C (HB), Port Sutton Channel, Port Sutton Turning Basin, East Bay Channel and Cut-D (HB) to a depth of 49 feet MLLW, deepening the Port Sutton Terminal Channel to a depth of 44 feet MLLW, and deepening the East Bay Channel Extensions 1 and 2 to a depth of 41 feet MLLW.
