The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Jacksonville District (Corps) will hold a virtual Industry Day for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) Indian River Lagoon South (IRL-S) C-44 Reservoir and Stormwater Treatment Area (C-44 RSTA) Seepage Management Feature – Relief Wells Contract A, Martin County, Florida on Wednesday, 1 April 2026. The Industry Day will consist of Opening Remarks, Technical Presentation, Procurement Strategy, and Small Business Opportunities. All interested Offerors are required to access SAM.gov for future updates. This announcement seeks information from industry and will only be used for preliminary planning purposes.

Project Description:  

The work is located on approximately 12,000 acres of land in Martin County, Florida directly north of Citrus Boulevard and the C-44 Canal (also known as the St. Lucie Canal), halfway between Lake Okeechobee and the Atlantic Ocean. For purposes of this construction contract, the anticipated location of site activities will occur throughout the current C-44 Reservoir site adjacent to the perimeter canal. The work consists of constructing groundwater pressure relief wells adjacent to the C-44 reservoir site. The wells will be constructed by typical means of water well construction and typical of USACE relief well construction, as prescribed in EM 1110-2-1914 Design, Construction and Maintenance of Relief Wells. The site where the relief wells will be constructed is relatively flat and grass covered with nearby access from existing gravel surfaced roads. There is an existing canal approximately 35 feet from the well locations and the groundwater level varies with reservoir stage and is generally higher than the canal water level. The canal water level varies (normally approximately EL 18.5 ft) and can increase up to 2 ft above normal stage during project operations. The reservoir pool varies and can be expected to be between EL 29.0 ft and EL 36 ft (3 ft to 10 ft pool) during the period of performance.
