To contain the fill needed for the inclined roadway, the access road will be additionally protected by a rock revetment and a short length of headwall bedded into the rock subgrade.

The Pier would be constructed starting from the landside and working out into the anchorage. A contractor-supplied crane would advance along the length of the Pier, constructing the pier progressively. It is anticipated that all materials and equipment would be transported by the contractor to the site on barges. Personnel, vessels and materials arriving on-site will be bio-security inspected to reduce transport of invasive species to the island.

During construction, crews would remain on site during the work week to minimize travel costs and maximize their available time on the island. Crews would likely stay in temporary contractor housing facilities (rented trailers) located in a nearby campground/staging area.

The Pier construction site is in a marine sanctuary surrounded by extremely sensitive archeological grounds and the contractor will be required to work within strict site limits. Excavations will be limited to the cored sockets for the Pier piles and the wall fronting the approach road interface with the Pier. No other excavations will be allowed.

TYPE OF PROCUREMENT: It is anticipated that a negotiated firm-fixed-price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and price proposal. The government will consider an offeror's technical capability in comparison to its price.

ESTIMATED PRICE RANGE: More than $10 million

ESTIMATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: October 2019 through May 2020

Proposal receipt date is not known at this time. The actual date will be established in the solicitation documents.

A pre-proposal meeting date and location will be noted in the solicitation.
