Design Build – NAPS Looney Plaza Replacement, NAVAL STATION NEWPORT, NEWPORT, RI.

The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command is seeking qualified design-build contractors to design and construct a replacement plaza at Naval Station Newport in Newport, Rhode Island. The procurement involves complete demolition of the existing Looney Plaza (a brick paver and quartz tile system totaling 10,200 square feet), site preparation, installation of a Low Impact Development (LID) drainage feature, and construction of a new 7,200 square foot reinforced concrete plaza with a 6-inch crushed stone base. The project aims to create a safe mustering and training area for naval students by eliminating trip hazards and uneven surfaces, while also establishing a fire lane capable of supporting an 82,000-pound fire truck. Key requirements include compliance with Navy LID policies, stormwater management standards, contaminated soil surveying due to the Environmental Restoration site designation, and concrete specifications including 5000 psi fiber-reinforced material with control joints cut in a 5-foot by 5-foot checkerboard pattern within a 20-foot by 20-foot area. The proposal due date is December 18, 2025, with a 90-calendar-day proposal acceptance period, and contractors are required to attend a mandatory site visit scheduled for December 2, 2025.
