Landfill Face Stabilization, Project No. WWCX 30-0035, Thule Air Base, Greenland

  The scope of this project requires the contractor to furnish all supervision, plant, labor, materials, tools, and equipment to stabilize the sea coastal borders of two closed landfills.  The work includes, but is not limited to:  Repair of approximately 920 meters of coastal shoreline to prevent errosion and improve esthetic appearance.  The work includes excavation and inspection for contamination of approximately 15,800 cubic meters of excess soil from the seafloor and beachfront; installation of approximately 24,500 square meters geotextile fabric with estimated 55,900 cubic meters basaltic rock coverage which the contractor will be required to blast, crush and transport from a nearby quarry; and some leveling and earthwork to the landfills themselves.  The location of Thule Air Base limits exterior work to the months of June through September, although work is sometimes possible in May or October.  Additionally, Thule Air Base's location demands that all supplies/personnel must be shipped/transported in/out via air/sealift.  Thule Air Base is not a commercial air/sea port and there is no other access. Shipping schedules are dictated by Defense contracts, and materials and labor are not available locally.  The estimated magnitude of this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.  This project is the remaining coast protection of 1 section at TAB 32 (the first part was completed in 2006) and coast protection of 2 sections at TAB 31.  The performance period for this project is from issuance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) with completion date 30 September 2011.  There is a 245 calendar day winter exclusionary period from 15 September to 15 May wherein no work will be permitted.  This period is included in the total performance period.  Funds are presently not available, but are expected to be made available by mid april 2010.
