The work to be performed will consist of the Kings Bay Dry Dock recapitalization at SUBASE Kings Bay, GA. The general scope includes repairs to the dry dock concrete body, cover, and various mechanical and electrical systems support operations. The Dry Dock is a covered reinforced concrete graving dock that is 700 feet long by 100 feet wide by 67 feet deep (from coping deck).

The cover is 825 feet long, by 270 feet wide, by 120 feet tall (above coping deck); and is composed of metal roof and siding, supported by a coated steel frame truss system. The project is broken into three performance phases due to operational requirements and include the scope requirements summarized below:

Phase A: Activities include establishment of a “free zone†or lower security zone at the Dry Dock to support contractor access and laydown, procurement of long lead items and materials, overhaul of steel caisson door, mobilization and staging to support Phase B actions. Estimated allowable performance duration of Phase A after contract award is 12 months. A vessel will be in dock during this phase; therefore, direct access to the Dry Dock will be limited.

Phase B: During this phase, work will be comprised of those activities that can only be accomplished without a vessel in dock. Work will include (but is not limited to): replacement of cover skin and coating preservation of cover superstructure; repairs and overhaul of crane rails; concrete repairs to dry dock body, flooding and discharge conduits, galley walls, sluice gate vaults; replacement of ship guide rails; overhaul of two bridge cranes; discharge pump piping; super flood piping; various sluice gates replacements; replacement of pumping control system; replacement of utility connections in gallery; support building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system replacement; capstans replacement; auxiliary seawater system replacement with inclusion of disinfection system; chilled water piping replacement; branch circuit and equipment replacement; high bay (under the cover) lighting replacement; replacement of submarine utility stations; 15kV critical and industrial power switchgear replacement; upgrade substation; replacement of 480V motor control centers; and overhaul with new fire protection services including standpipes, paging system, new sprinkler system, and fire alarm system.

Allowable duration of performance for Phase B is 360 calendar days with fixed start and end dates. Phase B will not commence until “free zone†in Phase A is complete and a vessel is no longer in dock.

Phase C: Activities during this phase will include: miscellaneous building repairs; concrete repairs to the utility and auxiliary tunnels; concrete repairs inside pump station; repairs to roof drainage system; roof replacement of various support buildings; floor drainage pump replacements; replacement of various original equipment in the Utility service building; and replacement of various systems (mechanical, electrical, fire) in seven support buildings. Duration for performance of Phase C will be 365 calendar days with fixed start and end dates.

Phase C activities will only be performed after completion of Phase B.
