Western Marine Construction, Inc.

Western Marine Construction, Inc. is a for-profit small business based in Seattle, Washington, specializing in waterfront construction, dredging, and marine infrastructure services. Registered in SAM.gov since 2002, the company primarily serves defense agencies in the Pacific Northwest region, with a focus on marine-related projects. The company is structured as a Subchapter S Corporation and has demonstrated expertise in complex marine engineering and infrastructure development for federal agencies.

The company has been awarded multiple prime federal contracts, primarily from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Alaska District, involving critical marine infrastructure projects. These contracts include significant undertakings such as the $26,950,000 replacement of floating breakwaters at Bar Point Harbor in Ketchikan, a $36,910,000 dredging and repairs project at St. Paul Harbor, and an $18,464,000 bank stabilization project along the Kenai River. Most of these contracts were total small business set-asides, highlighting Western Marine Construction's capability to compete effectively in federal contracting. The contracts typically involve complex marine construction tasks like dredging harbor channels, constructing protective rock berms, replacing breakwaters, and performing environmental mitigation and restoration work.

Western Marine Construction holds a significant $326 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the Department of the Navy's Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), valid through February 2026. This Waterfront Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) allows the company to compete for task orders involving marine waterfront facility construction, repairs, alterations, and renovations primarily in the Pacific Northwest region. Under this IDC, the company has already received and completed several task orders, including a $413,000 contract for pier anode replacement at Naval Station Everett, a $1.8 million shoreline restoration project at Naval Base Kitsap, and various other waterfront construction and repair services. The contract demonstrates the company's sustained capability to provide critical marine and coastal engineering services to federal agencies.

We specialize in heavy civil and marine construction, self-performing 90% of the work on projects. We have long-term employee retention, a highly skilled workforce and effective safety procedures to promote productivity as well as accident prevention.

Significant owner involvement includes consultation, design and construction services, and logistics for on-water locations in Washington and Alaska. We work diligently to understand not only the project specifications but at the outset, establish goals and anticipate the inherent risks of the project. Our collaboration and value engineering process resolve many project issues early, thereby avoiding costly delays or claims.
