Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - St. Paul District requires a real estate appraisal and a UASFLA (Yellow Book) compliant appraisal report with market value and highest and best use analysis for a 331.33 acre site known as Lower Grey Cloud Island in the City of Cottage Grove in Washington County, Minnesota. The property is located just a few miles from St. Paul, MN. The appraisal will require an in person site inspection. The property is privately owned and has been used for sand and gravel mining for over 50 years. The Government is interested in acquiring the designated portion, a flooded, depleted gravel pit, for use as a placement site for materials dredged from the Upper Mississippi River (i.e. sand) during maintenance of the navigation channel. The lessee of the property, that Aggregate Industries - MWR Inc., filed for permits to expand mining operations into adjacent submerged tracts in the Mississippi River in 2022. A copy of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet is included with the solicitation for informational purposes. In the EAW, the filer stated that without the expansion, the mine will exhaust its current minable reserves in approximately five years given the current rate of mining, market trends, and geologic variations at the site. The current lessee of the property, Amrize Midwest, withdrew the application in February 2026. It is recommended that interested parties read the story Amrize drops plan for gravel pit expansion in Mississippi River bed by Mary Divine in the 13 February 2026 edition of the Pioneer Press for more background information. ----- This solicitation is 100 percent set-aside for small businesses under NAICS 531320, Offices of Real Estate Appraisers, with a SBA small business size standard of $9,500,000. ---- This solicitation is a Request for Quotes (RFQ), with the contract recipient being selected on the basis of Best Value to the Government.
