PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  This solicitation will result in a firm-fixed price (FFP) contract for design-bid-build (DBB) construction services.

The proposed project provides a replacement caisson for Dry Dock #1 at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, located in Kittery, Maine. Caisson construction includes steel fabrication, installation of mechanical and electrical systems, and a full testing program of the caisson and its interface with the existing/repaired dry dock seat. Construction will be primarily offsite with delivery to the shipyard and final testing at the dry dock. Following successful delivery and acceptance of the replacement caisson, the project provides for removal to an off-site facility, demolition and disposal of the existing Dry Dock #1 Caisson, including handling and disposal of hazardous materials within the caisson.

The caissons will be constructed to meet Military Standard (MIL-STD-1625D(SH)), Safety Certification Program for Dry-docking Facilities and Shipbuilding Ways for U.S. Navy Ships and Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC-4-213-10). 

The completion time for this contract is 611 calendar days after award.
