PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Norfolk District, Corps of Engineers is conducting Market Research to identify potential Sources for renovations to the District's pier facility located at 803 Front Street, Norfolk, Virginia 23510. Project includes construction of a sheet pile wave screen, west of the existing main pier. The renovation project will also include installation of a timber wave screen on the south face of the existing pier. The project will also include the addition of floating dock sections with associated pilings within the basin created by installation of the wave screens. Additionally, improvements to utilities, raising the deck of the main pier, and installation of a boat lift are included in the scope of work. Dock repair work includes construction of cathodic protection concrete encasement on existing structural pilings, installation of steel reinforcement and cast-in-place concrete repairs to existing structural piles. The repair project will also include repairs to spalling on concrete boat ramp adjacent to the main pier. The final aspect includes repairs to the utility infrastructure on the pier and in the office, to include plumbing, heat trace, electrical distribution, pier electrical systems, fire detection system, and alarm system. The project will be solicited with Definitive Responsibility Criteria (DRC). These criteria are specific and objective standards established by an agency as a precondition to award which are designed to measure a prospective contractor's ability to perform the contract. In order to be found responsible, the apparent low bidder must demonstrate their past experience with defined work criteria. The three DRAFT criteria are: 1) Installation of Sheet Pile Wave Screens, 2) Marine Construction Experience 3) Underwater Construction/Diving Experience, 4) Utility Upgrade/Installation Experience Criteria 1: Installation of Sheet Pile Wave Screens: Bidder shall provide three examples of completed contracts performed in the last five years installing sheet pile wave screens comparable to those specified at a production rate comparable to what will be required in this contract. Criteria 2: Marine Construction Experience: Bidder shall provide three examples of completed contracts performed in the last five years involving construction in a marine setting comparable to what will be required in this contract. Criteria 3: Underwater Construction/Diving Experience: Bidder shall provide three examples of completed contracts performed in the last five years involving underwater construction using surface supplied diving operations comparable to what will be required in this contract. Criteria 4: Utility Upgrade/Installation Experience: Bidder shall provide three examples of completed contracts performed in the last five years involving utility upgrade and installation in a marine setting comparable to what will be required in this contract.
