P502 Replace MCAS Beaufort Fuel Pier, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina

The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command is soliciting proposals for the design-bid-build replacement of the fuel pier at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in South Carolina. The project involves demolishing an existing pier and constructing a new single-deck fueling pier approximately 40 feet wide and 169 feet long, with a pile-supported concrete approach, vehicle travel lane, piping protection with curbing, and leak containment capabilities. Key contract requirements include Davis-Bacon wage compliance, performance and payment bonds, and a mandatory site visit for prospective contractors. Evaluation criteria include technical factors, past performance, price, and small business utilization, with a minimum 20 percent small business participation requirement across multiple socioeconomic categories including 40 percent small business, 5 percent small disadvantaged business, 3 percent HUBZone, 9 percent women-owned small business, and 5 percent service-disabled veteran-owned small business. The proposal deadline, which has been extended multiple times throughout the solicitation process, was set for January 9, 2026, with amendments issued as recently as December 11, 2025, providing discussion questions to offerors in the competitive range.

This is an unrestricted, full and open competition with no set-aside designations. The estimated contract value ranges between ten and twenty-five million dollars under a firm-fixed-price structure with a performance period of 900 calendar days, requiring contractors to begin work within 15 calendar days of award. The solicitation includes a base price for pier demolition and reconstruction, with five optional line items covering fuel loading arm replacement, storage container concrete pads, additional work shutdowns related to Marine Mammal Protection Act compliance, and soil remediation, with the government reserving the right to award optional items within 180 calendar days after contract award. Work will be performed at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in Beaufort, South Carolina, with specific technical requirements including prestressed concrete bearing and guide piles, dynamic pile load testing, and compliance with an Army Corps of Engineers permit authorizing the demolition and reconstruction work. The project incorporates extensive environmental protections and marine species considerations, with work completion required by March 11, 2030.
