Construction Solicitation for DDG(X) Work Package 4 Shaftline Foundation

This solicitation, issued by the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command, seeks construction services for the DDG(X) Work Package 4 Shaftline Foundation project at the Philadelphia Navy Yard Annex in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The work involves demolishing existing concrete slabs, pipe trenches, and related structures, then constructing a new pile-supported reinforced concrete slab with micropile foundation, cast iron T-slot flooring, and electrical grounding systems. Key contract requirements include installation of 9.625-inch diameter micropiles with a 60-ton compression design load, vibration monitoring by a qualified consultant, comprehensive safety and environmental compliance protocols, and detailed submittal documentation throughout the project lifecycle. The government will evaluate offers on a lowest-price basis, with contractor qualifications including prior experience installing at least 50 micropiles across three comparable projects within the previous three years. Critical deadlines included a mandatory site visit on July 15, 2025, with the original proposal due date of August 7, 2025, later extended to August 21, 2025, at 1400 EDT; however, the solicitation was ultimately cancelled on February 17, 2026.

This solicitation was set aside exclusively for Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) holders in the North Area of Responsibility (MACC GROUP: ML-C00068), with seven pre-qualified contractors eligible to compete. The estimated contract value ranged between $10 million and $25 million, with a base contract line item plus four optional line items covering micropiling, asbestos abatement, soil remediation, and related work. The project timeline includes 435 calendar days for construction completion, with liquidated damages assessed at $3,057.22 per calendar day for delays beyond the contract schedule. The contractor must comply with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, with minimum hourly rates ranging from $31.73 to $70.32 depending on trade classification, and must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract value. Work is scheduled to occur at the Philadelphia Navy Yard Annex in Building 77H, requiring coordination with government personnel and strict adherence to security protocols, utility protection measures, and indoor air quality and methane gas monitoring requirements.
