About this file
This amendment to the solicitation provides responses to bidder inquiries for the Ship Loading and Unloading Mock-up project at Fort Lee, Virginia. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers is seeking to construct a 2,000 square foot enclosed metal structure mock-up of a cargo ship with two ramps. Site utilities and improvements are also included. The responses clarify that pre-engineered metal buildings and light gauge or structural steel framing will meet technical requirements. Virginia American Water will install the fire hydrant and waterline at no cost to the contractor. Termite treatment and security fencing are requirements, and sustainability reporting is specified. The submission method was changed to the DoD SAFE system due to potential building closures. The bid opening will be by teleconference.
