Hardwood Range WISS v5 Tower

The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Corona Division, a component of the Department of the Navy, is soliciting proposals for the design, engineering, fabrication, and installation of two 80-foot hot-dipped galvanized steel towers at the Hardwood Range in Necedah, Wisconsin. This project supports the Target Area Surveillance and Safety System (TASSS), a subsystem of the Weapons Impact Scoring Set (WISS) Version 5 program. Key contract requirements include comprehensive tower design and engineering, geotechnical investigation and soil analysis, foundation construction, tower fabrication and erection, grounding and lightning protection system installation, and submission of detailed technical deliverables including design drawings, geotechnical reports, and as-built documentation stamped by a Wisconsin-registered Professional Engineer. The Government will evaluate proposals using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, and this is an all-or-none requirement with partial proposals deemed unresponsive. The proposal due date is January 23, 2026 at 3:00 PM, and proposals must be submitted electronically in PDF format to julian.p.garibay.civ@us.navy.mil; all offerors must be registered in SAM and site inspection is urged and expected.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with no identified incumbent contractors. The estimated contract value falls between $100,000 and $250,000 under a Firm-Fixed-Price contract structure using NAICS code 237130 (Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction). The performance period consists of 10 calendar days for mobilization followed by 120 calendar days for total project completion from the notice to proceed. The two towers will be constructed at precise coordinates in Juneau County, Wisconsin—Tower 1 at latitude 44°14'1.59"N and longitude 90°3'52.81"W, and Tower 2 at latitude 44°13'39.79"N and longitude 90°2'27.81"W—with final locations subject to government confirmation. The towers must meet stringent structural specifications including wind and ice loading requirements, antenna mounting capabilities, and compliance with prevailing wage rates as determined under the Davis-Bacon Act.
