- Description
- RFI This notice constitutes a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI). This announcement seeks information from industry and will ONLY be used for preliminary planning purposes. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT SHALL BE AWARDED FROM THIS RFI. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. The Government will not pay for any response expenses. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or competition sensitive information contained in their response. The Government is specifically interested in technologies, methodologies, ideas and solutions for the removal of a submerged concrete sill (located at the US Marine Corps Support Facility - Blount Island (MCSF-BI's). The information received will be used to support a market analysis for the project with the general goal to remove all submerged concrete sill at the US Marine Corps Support Facility - Blount Island. Background In 1974, a joint venture between Westinghouse Electric and Tenneco Newport News Shipbuilding purchased the eastern half of the island to construct a facility to build floating nuclear power plants. The construction of this facility included a concrete sill across the slipway to allow for drydock maintenance of the power plants. Due to the size of the plants, the sill had to be substantial to support massive weight, meaning that it was heavily reinforced with rebar. The sill sits perpendicular across the slipway. The sill sits approximately 900 feet from the end of the slipway and 64.5 feet from each bulkhead. Due to the lack of economic demand, Tenneco Newport News Shipbuilding opted out of the venture in 1976 and Westinghouse ceased all construction projects in 1979. In January 1986, Gate Maritime Properties, Incorporated purchased the property on the eastern half of the Island and in August of that year leased it to MCSF-BI in support of the Maritime Prepositioning Program. Blount Island Command (BICmd), established in 1989, is the MCSF-BI executive agent for planning, coordinating, and executing the logistics efforts in support of the Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) Program and the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program. In August 2004, MCSF-BI completed acquisition of the eastern half of Blount Island and became responsible for the stewardship of the land, buildings, and environment. The work will consist of the removal of the submerged concrete sill (located at the US Marine Corps Support Facility - Blount Island (MCSF-BI). The concrete sill is located at station 7+00 in the MCSF-BI slipway and is 32.6 feet wide by 426.5 feet long and approximately 14.5 feet deep. The concrete sill was constructed on top of rock at approximately -52 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW). The crest elevation of the concrete sill is -37.6 feet MLLW. A substantial portion of the concrete sill is to be removed resulting in a maximum crest elevation of -47 feet MLLW. Sedimentary material may need to be cleared around the concrete sill to allow access to the structure. This material will be disposed in the Dayson Island Dredged Material Management Area which is approximately 2.7 miles from the concrete sill location. It will be the contractor's responsibility to dispose of all concrete and any insitu rock removed from the slipway. Safe navigation in and out of MCSF-BI shall be maintained throughout removal of the concrete sill operations. Responses Industry is asked to provide a written response addressing the following objectives or questions: 1) What are the proposed methods to remove the sill given that blasting, punch barges, and jackhammers will not be permitted due to environmental restrictions (Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) from NMFS cannot be obtained)? 2) Will the cost be the same or nearly the same to remove the concrete sill partially, down to -47 ft MLLW or to remove the entire sill structure to top of rock? 3) What are the proposed methods for disposal of the reinforced concrete sill material? 4) Would a certain size staging area be needed at MCSF-BI? 5) What are the proposed methods to continue working while maintaining safe navigation in and out of the berths at MCSF-BI? Additionally Provide Firm's name, address, point of contact, phone number, website, and email address. Responses to this RFI must be received no later than 2:00 pm, Local Time on 6 August 2018 and shall be sent to Mr. William Wallace at william.j.wallace@usace.army.mil. There will be an Industry Conference Call on 9 August 2018 at 2:00 pm. NOTE - DO NOT SUBMIT PROPRIETARY AND/OR BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL DATA.
