PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

This design-bid-build (DBB) construction project replaces the Yard Patrol (YP) Pier in the YP Basin and the non-functional wave screen at Naval Support Activity, Annapolis, Maryland. The updated pier comprises a 760-foot long by the 25-foot wide concrete main pier with attached 125-foot long by 13.5-foot wide concrete finger piers. Steel pipe monopiles will be used to define the slip limits and serve as mooring dolphins. The concrete deck will be supported by concrete beams and pile caps and founded on

24-inch wide square concrete piles. The concept pier will include an independent wave screen that is constructed away from the pier. This wave screen concept will be based on a structure currently in service at Naval Station Norfolk, VA. The independent nature of the wave break will minimize the wave load transferred to the main pier while still protecting and creating the basin. This scope includes the demolition and reconstruction of approximately 1100SF of the existing quay wall where the YP Pier meets the quay wall (250NS).

The contractor shall provide all material, labor, transportation, tools, equipment, management, supervision and quality control necessary to accomplish the scope of work.

In accordance with DFARS 236.204(ii), the magnitude of construction for this project is between

$25,000,000 and $100,000,000.

This is a new procurement. It does not replace an existing contract. No prior contract information exists

The anticipated award of this contract is September 2023.
