# USACE Awards Banana River Dredging Contract

On September 29, 2026, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District awarded Waterfront Property Services, LLC, doing business as Gator Dredging, an approximately $7.9 million operations and maintenance contract to remove about 524,000 cubic yards of shoaled material from the Banana River and adjacent waterways in Florida. Work is expected to run from December 2026 through June 2027, maintaining waterways that support NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and the U.S. Space Force’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

- The award is already made; procurement teams and contractors can use the contract’s scope, approximate value, and schedule as a reference for comparable USACE waterway-maintenance procurements.
- Firms providing dredging, marine equipment, or related services can assess whether their capabilities align with the scale and Florida location of the work; the signal does not identify subcontracting opportunities or a solicitation for additional work.
- The planned work window begins in December 2026, with completion expected by June 2027, supporting logistics for two major federal space installations.
