(U.S. Navy photo by Justice Vannatta) The U.S. Navy has awarded five contractors the chance to compete for $8 billion worth of Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program (SIOP) construction contracts, the Defense Department announced this week. The winning bidders, who will each receive $2 million as part of the contract's minimum guarantee, are: Bechtel Inc. of Reston, Virginia; Dragados/Hawaiian Dredging/Orion JV of Honolulu; ECC Infrastructure LLC of Burlingame, California; Kiewit-Alberici SIOP MACC AJV of Vancouver, Washington; and TPC-NAN JV of Sylmar, California. The five will bid on future task orders awarded as firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery-indefinite-quantity (IDIQ), multiple-award construction contracts (MACC) for projects primarily at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The breakdown of work, according to the DOD announcement, is: 40% in Hawaii; 40% in Washington; 10% in Guam; 5% in other areas in the Pacific and Indian oceans; and 5% in other areas under Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) authority. Work under this contract. which will first be funded with $10 million of fiscal 2022 military construction money, is expected to be complete by November 2029. Future work will also be paid for with military construction allocations. The Navy established the SIOP in 2018 with the goal of modernizing its four public nuclear shipyards - Pearl Harbor, Puget Sound, the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia, and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. Crews at these facilities perform maintenance on submarines and aircraft carriers with the mission of keeping them combat-ready. However, the shipyards are encumbered with 19th and 20th century design, which does not allow for the efficient maintenance and modernization of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines. The aging utilities, dry docks, equipment and information technology infrastructure of these facilities, according to the Navy, need major investments to bring them up to modern standards and to avoid the risks inherent in trying to work with older infrastructure, such as reliability issues, higher costs and schedule delays. In a 2019 presentation, a program manager for the Navy's SIOP cited a General Accounting Office report that estimated the maintenance backlog at naval shipyards was almost $5 billion and that the Navy had no solid plan to address the work. The modernization of all four shipyards and ancillary facilities is expected to cost approximately $21 billion over a period of 20 years. The Navy said that the construction projects under this latest award will be undertaken with consideration of how they impact the environment, natural and cultural resources and water and air quality. In addition, with each shipyard plan, the military plans to develop alternatives for assessment under the National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act and the National Historic Preservation Act. Calling its approach to environmental protection proactive, the Navy said it will also work with the public as part of each project's decision-making process. ____________________________________________________________________ As of July 30, 2021, this project has not yet been awarded.
