Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Request Information (RFI) for Bulkhead Repairs S50S and T Pier Demolition Naval Station Newport, Newport, Rhode Island This is a request for information/market survey. This is not a request for proposal, request for quote, or an invitation for bid. There will be no solicitation, specification, or drawings available at this time. Naval Facilities Engineering System Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic is soliciting comments from the public addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for the following construction project. This project will repair by replacement of the southern portion of S50 and associated stormwater system infrastructure. Bulkhead S50 South/LNG is the most southern portion of a larger shoreline bulkhead system constructed to stabilize the upland area and support the shore facilities and infrastructure in the Coddington Cove area of Naval Station Newport. This project will protect the embankments and shore structures from erosion and prevent further bulkhead damage from wave action. This project shall meet all aspects of the applicable EPA Record of Decision (ROD) for the CERCLA/IR Superfund Site, Site 19 and meet the requirements of the Federal Facility Compliance Agreement the Navy has made with the EPA. Bulkhead S50 South (LNG) consists of approximately 686 LF of steel sheet-pile and 193 LF of rip-rap. The existing bulkhead and rip-rap is currently in disrepair. This project proposes to repair the damaged sheet-pile wall by replacing it with a new steel sheet-pile system that will include a wale system connected to a sheet-pile deadman anchor. The new system will be coated with a macro epoxy to help prevent corrosion. The rip-rap portion of S50 South/LNG will be replaced in kind to maintain shoreline stability. For Option 1 T-Pier Demolition, the project includes the demolition of the T-Pier (Facility #S528) located in the waterfront area of Coddington Cove (CC), Naval Station Newport. The T-Pier (Transit Shed Pier) is constructed of fill material surrounded and supported by steel sheet-pile bulkhead. Demolition shall include removal and disposal of concrete slab atop of the facility. Soil/fill within the structure will be excavated and disposed. Sediment/fill below the waterline shall be excavated/dredged and disposed. The steel sheet-pile bulkhead and structural supports, shall be cut 2 feet below the mudline and disposed. Project shall include removal of associated infrastructure located within or around the T-Pier (e.g. mooring dolphins, steel piles, utilities etc.). The project NAICS Code is 237990. The magnitude of construction is anticipated to be $25M $100M. General period of performance is anticipated to be approximately 610 calendar days.
