Notice Type: Sources Sought Solicitation No: N4008525R2522 Response Date: 11/1/2024 2:00 PM Eastern Time Classification Code: Y NAICS Code: 236220 Magnitude of Construction: Between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000 THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL OR INVITATION FOR BID. THERE WILL NOT BE A SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS OR DRAWINGS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Mid-Atlantic is seeking eligible Small Businesses, HUB Zone Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses capable of performing Design-Bid-Build, for the P502 Replace MCAS Beaufort Fuel Pier, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina. This project will replace a circa 1957 pier with a new fuel pier that meets MIL-HDBK- 1025/Department of Defense (DoD) Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 2-000-05N, Facility Planning Criteria For Navy/Marine Corps Shore Installations, CCN 151-40, UFC 4-150-02, Dockside Utilities for Ship Service, UFC 3-201-01 Civil Engineering, updated Sept 2020, and UFC 4-152-01 Design: Piers and Wharves. Construction will include a single deck fueling pier approximately 40 Linear Feet (LF) wide and 169 LF long with a pile supported concrete approach that is approximately 25 LF wide and 200 LF long, with a minimum 20 LF wide (inside curb-to-curb) vehicle one-way travel lane. The piping will be protected by curbing on either side and will also provide containment in the event of a leak. Connecting the pier and approach is a section of the pier which measures approximately 40 LF wide by 63 LF long, creating a pier resembling a T shape. The new facility will be constructed concurrently with demolition of the existing facility, allowing ability to maintain existing operations. Once completed, the new facility will also serve as a berthing/mooring pier for barges and at the height required due to SLR. Primary facilities include new concrete piles, decking, storage shed, mooring dolphins and fuel piping to/from the loading arm. Providing new pier with fueling arm so that the facility will have two defueling options instead of just one. This added redundancy will prove advantageous in case of maintenance on either defueling access point. Access to the existing small support crafts will be maintained throughout construction, and the approach will be in almost the same footprint as original, to maintain fuel services, temporary lines may be required or existing lines supported in place during demolition and construction. The fuel pier site is located in the 100-year flood plain. The 2018 Marine Corp Air Station Beaufort (MCAS BE) Fuel Pier Analysis concluded that equipment could be negatively affected by floodwaters elevated to two-feet above the high-water level of a projected 100-year flood. The recommended elevation was to be 11.4 feet. In Sept 2020, the UFC 3-201-01 Civil Engineering was updated for new requirements, and was used in the 2021 MCAS BE Sea Level Rise (SLR) Modeling Report. The Report has shown the projected SLR elevation in coordination with the updated UFC 3-201-01 Civil Engineering, UFC 3-460-01 Design: Petroleum Fuel Facilities, and UFC 4-152-01 Design: Piers and Wharves. THE NAVFAC SLR Subject Matter Expert (SME) advised that P502 will fall within subcategory 3b: (High Risk, essential facilities) from Table 2-1 for Design Flood Elevation in UFC 3-201-01. The SLR SME further recommended following the Department of Defense Regional Sea Level (DRSL) Database Approach, to determine the pier deck elevation. The second approach outlined by UFC 3-201-01 is the DRSL approach that bases the design flood elevation on the DRSL 2065 High SLR scenario. Based on the DRSL approach, the bottom of the deck would need to be at an elevation of 14.66 feet above current sea level. This project includes the realignment and elevation of Quilali Road to the extent required in order to provide proper access and slope to the new pier deck height. The new road will be elevated and extended to allow for gradual grading, with sloped embankments and riprap revetment on the waterside to prevent erosion. [NAVFAC Structural Engineer] Tie-ins to existing infrastructure such as pump stations and storage tanks will be needed. Additional items include flexible connections where the trestle ties into the bulkhead/roadway. There will be around a 6% slope along Quilali road to accompany the adjusted height of the pier. There needs to be an elevation difference less than 6.4 ft from the shore to the deck of the new wharf. Elevate parts of Quilali road eight percent to support smooth transition of trucks/mobile cranes from trestle to wharf, and having a floating wharf for defueling in accordance with UFC 4-152-01 Design: Piers and Wharves. [2021 SLR Modeling Report.] The existing small boat facility will have a gangway added from the newly constructed pier along with connections to a new water line. The length of the gangway may need to be altered to avoid becoming too steep after the increase in pier height requirement. In addition, breasting platforms may need to be elevated and according to EXWC report from 2018 Marine Corp Air Station Beaufort (MCAS BE) Fuel Pier Analysis the small boat facility may need to be replaced due to structural deficiencies and maintenance issues. Operations and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI) is included in this project. Facilities will be designed to meet or exceed the useful service life specified in the DoD Unified Facility Criteria. Facilities will incorporate features that provide the lowest practical life cycle cost solutions satisfying the facility requirements with the goal of maximizing energy efficiency. Supporting facilities include utilities and connections (lighting, power, and potable water lines), minor site civil work (riprap, fill, etc.) and site demolition. Site demolition will include removing the existing decking, beams, vertical piles, utility lines, fuel piping, potable water piping, and mooring. Existing equipment such as oil booms, etc. will be reused if available and in good condition. Along with the utilities, the assumption is that a Fire Protection would be required in the form of a stand-pipe system. This project will provide Anti-Terrorism/ Force Protection (AT/FP) features and comply with AT/FP regulations and physical security mitigation in accordance with UFC 4-020-01 DoD Security Engineering Facilities Planning Manual. Special costs include Post Construction Contract Award Services (PCAS), geospatial surveying & mapping, and cybersecurity commissioning. Facility-related control systems include cybersecurity features in accordance with current DOD criteria. DOD and Department of the Navy principles for high performance and sustainable building requirements will be included in the design and construction of the project in accordance with federal laws and Executive Orders. Low Impact Development will be included in the Design and construction of this project as appropriate. Facilities will be designed to meet or exceed the useful service life specified in DoD Unified Facility Criteria. Facilities will incorporate features that provide the lowest practical life cycle cost solutions satisfying the facility requirements with the goal of maximizing energy efficiency.
