About this file
This is a Responses to Questions document for solicitation N32253-26-Q-0069 issued by PHNSY & IMF (Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility) regarding dry dock elevator dismantle services. The document addresses 30 frequently asked questions from potential contractors regarding project scope, logistics, and requirements.
The contract involves dismantling elevators from dry docks 1, 2, and 3 located in the CIA (Confined Industrial Area) at PHNSY. The Period of Performance is one year (09/29/26-09/28/27) to ensure sufficient time for completion. Disassembled materials must be packaged to maximum dimensions of 8 feet wide by 40 feet long by 8 feet high, not exceeding 20,000 pounds per package. The Government will not supply pallets, dunnage, or containers; the Keeper of the Records (KTR) contractor is responsible for securing materials to pallets and providing all packaging solutions. Dismantled pieces will be relocated to a laydown area outside the CIA located less than 1 mile from the work site; PHNSY will attempt to secure temporary laydown areas near each elevator but cannot currently provide specific acreage. Elevator manuals will be provided only after contract award. The Government will clear the area of keel blocks, wires, and cables as feasible before work begins. There is no concrete repair work required after foundation demolition. Work hour restrictions and disposal requirements are specified in PWS sections 11.0 and 3.14, respectively. Questions regarding mandatory Industrial Hygienist and Environmental Manager positions are directed to Appendix II. The Government will not conduct pre-work hazardous materials testing and cannot recommend qualified professionals in Hawaii for these positions.
