Appledore Marine - Ch2M JV

Appledore Marine - Ch2M JV is a for-profit joint venture registered with the federal government since August 2017 that specializes in providing comprehensive marine engineering, design, and construction services to U.S. Navy facilities. The joint venture combines the expertise of Appledore Marine and CH2M to deliver specialized capabilities in waterfront infrastructure development, repairs, and resilience improvements across naval installations. As a prime contractor, Appledore Marine - Ch2M JV has established a substantial track record executing complex projects for the Department of the Navy, positioning itself as a trusted partner for addressing infrastructure challenges at critical military waterfront facilities.

The joint venture has delivered a diverse portfolio of federal contract work spanning architectural and engineering design, structural repairs, construction services, and infrastructure stabilization across multiple Navy installations. Primary work has been funded through the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) and Navy Installations Command, with contract values ranging from approximately $20,000 to $4.4 million on individual delivery orders. Notable projects include design and engineering services for structural stabilization and sea level rise improvements at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine; repair and renovation work at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Colts Neck, New Jersey; architectural and engineering design for Pier 2 berth repairs and MWR marina facilities in Newport, Rhode Island; construction of a water treatment plant at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; and post-award construction services and commissioning support for a communications center at Naval Station Souda Bay, Greece. Additional services have encompassed boiler replacement studies, culvert repairs, rail structural surveys, trestle and pier heavy weather analysis, bridge structural steel recoating and repair, demolition services, and dive services. The contractor has engaged small business and minority-owned subcontractors including Acer Associates LLC and GTS Consultants Inc. for surveying and mapping services. No set-aside designations have been applied to the majority of contract awards, reflecting open competition for these opportunities.

Appledore Marine - Ch2M JV holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at $60 million awarded by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command on September 23, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 22, 2030. This multi-disciplinary architect-engineer contract is designated for waterfront projects within the Northern Area of Responsibility and provides NAVFAC with flexible, on-call access to the joint venture's marine engineering, design, and construction capabilities. The IDIQ carries no set-aside designation and reflects the Navy's confidence in the contractor's ability to deliver infrastructure repair, upgrades, and resilience improvements to naval waterfront facilities. To date, NAVFAC has issued two delivery orders under this contract vehicle, both addressing critical resilience needs at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine: a $3.3 million delivery order for engineering and design services supporting structural stabilization and sea level rise improvements to Berth 7 with an August 25, 2026 completion date, and a $4.4 million delivery order for design and engineering services supporting sea level rise and stormwater management improvements to Berth 6 with a May 16, 2027 completion date. Both delivery orders are structured as firm fixed price arrangements, demonstrating the contractor's ability to manage cost risk while delivering complex technical solutions for Navy facility modernization and climate adaptation initiatives.
