THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. THERE WILL NOT BE A SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS OR DRAWINGS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), Mid-Atlantic is seeking eligible firms (both large and small businesses) capable of performing construction services for the following: Description of work: This project modernizes NNSY Dry Dock No. 4, constructed in 1919, which is used in support of Ohio Class SSBNs, Virginia Class SSNs, Ohio Replacement Class (ORP), Landing Helicopter Docks (LHD) amphibious assault ships, and the next generation submarine class. Dry Dock No. 4 is a soil supported unreinforced concrete structure. DD4 loses its operational certification in 2019 and will not be able to be recertified until these critical repairs are completed. This project will be phased over two years with a required project completion no later than the end of June 2022. Must obtain required permits for the installation of the

cofferdam. Phase 1: Cooling Tower, Cofferdam, Caisson and Phase 2: Caisson Seat, Pump Well, Site Utilities, Site Work, Dry Dock Utilities, Utility Trench, Soil Anchors, Dry Dock Walls and Floor. The project design must be ready for a July 2019 construction start. Dry Dock No. 4 is scheduled be out of service starting August 2019 to June 2022 without impact to the Navys submarine docking schedule. The work content for Phase 1: The existing caisson will be replaced with a new modern flood through configuration caisson constructed to meet current Military Standard, Safety Certification Program for Drydocking Facilities and Shipbuilding Ways for U.S. Navy Ships and Unified Facilities Criteria for Graving Docks. The top of the new caisson will be at the required elevation needed to provide flood protection. The existing caisson will be demolished and the steel will be recycled. Specialized construction of a cofferdam, located outside of the dry dock approach walls, will allow for dewatering of the dry dock to enable the reconstruction of the caisson seats and entrance walls. A section of Berth 20 located on the south side of the dry dock entrance wall will be demolished to accommodate the construction of the cofferdam. The saltwater intake tunnel located on the north side of the dry dock entrance wall will be filled in with flowable fill. This intake provides cooling water that is used by the air dryers that support the air compressors located in Building 174. A cooling tower must be installed before the intake tunnel can be taken out of service. Work content for Phase 2: Required dry dock repairs and modifications are: - Anchoring the dry dock floor to prevent uplift of the dry dock during Construction - Selective demolition of existing concrete on floors and walls - Reconstruct dry dock walls, including a utility trench with integral flood wall to withstand design flood event - Resurfacing of concrete dry dock floor. Includes redesigned oily waste, waste oil (OWWO) collection system. - Replacement of utility systems that service the dry dock (water/CHT/electric/steam/saltwater/submarine firefighting/compressed air/telecom) - Renovation of pumpwell (electrical/telecom/mechanical/architectural/structural) includes new main dewatering pumps, drainage pumps, and sump pumps. - Installation of life safety systems (fire/emergency reporting and pull stations) around dry dock and in pumpwell. - Reconstruction of the caisson seats. - Filling obsolete filling tunnels with self-consolidating concrete. - Replace all capstan foundations around Dry Dock No. 4 to support modern movable type capstans. - Removal and replacement of all delaminated concrete from the interior dry dock walls and floor as required to repair and minimize water infiltration due to concrete structural delamination deficiencies. The dry dock floor redesign will include a surface trench drain system to capture stormwater runoff and collect oily waste/waste oil when vessels are in dock. Threaded inserts will be provided to anchor refueling support towers and stairwells. All new concrete work will be reinforced with galvanized reinforcing bar. Around the dry dock coping a utility trench will be constructed to include an integral concrete flood wall formed as an extension of the interior dry dock walls. The top of wall will be constructed at EL +106 to provide one foot of freeboard above the 500 year still water flood elevation of 105. The wall also provides the fall protection required around the coping perimeter edge of dry dock. Mooring cleats will be installed and spaced properly on top of the wall. - Dry dock utilities will be removed from the altars and reconstructed in the new protective utility trench. The trench will improve accessibility for utility servicing and reduce maintenance costs. The trench will be covered with a grating designed to be used as a line handling walkway during ship docking. The utility systems required for all ship service connections in the dock will be modernized to meet current standards and incorporated into the utility trench design. The existing Dry Dock No. 4 Refueling Service Rack mounted on the south side of the dry dock above the dry dock tunnel will be reconstructed. - Flooding sluice gate Nos. 1, 2, 3 and main dewatering sluice gate No. 6 will be demolished. Sluice gate Nos. 4, 7, and 8 will be reconstructed. The north side cooling water tunnel to Building No. 171 will be abandoned. The electrical cross tunnel under Dry Dock No. 4 that connect the inside lower sump pit area of Pump Well No. 4 to the north side of the dock will be abandoned. All abandoned flumes and tunnels will be filled with flowable fill or self-consolidating concrete, as required. - All firefighting requirements for both salt and potable water will be provided. Hydraulic modeling will be used to verify that all dry dock salt and potable water flow requirements are being met. The fresh water temporary submarine firefighting system requires 226 gpm at a pressure of 60 psi at the end of the hose system. In addition, the system shall support 650 gpm at 150 psi from the existing fire hydrants via the fire and emergency service equipment meeting the requirement established by NAVSEA, Technical Publication S0570-AC-CCM-010/8010, Industrial Ship Safety Manual for Fire Prevention and Response, dated 17 July 2018. - The saltwater firefighting system requires that the ship hull, whether submarine or surface vessel, shall be reachable by two separate fire hose stations rigged with 100 feet of hose. The flows required to be served for firefighting from the saltwater system include a 2,500 gpm firefighting requirements for surface ships (LHA class). All required fire protection pipes and fittings will be installed and properly located at the top of the dock as well as down at the floor of the dock. - An auxiliary salt water discharge headed system will be constructed to allow direct discharge from ships in dock into the river. A sump pit, connected to the trench drain system in the dry dock floor, will be constructed to allow collection of OWWO. OWWO will be pumped from the sump to a new OWWO header system along the south side of the dry dock. The permanent header system will terminate near the east end of the dry dock. A hose connection will be used to convey OWWO from the header to barges berthed at Berth 20. - The pumpwell roof will be reconstructed atop a concrete stemwall above the design flood elevation. Pumpwell HVAC equipment, rooftop exhaust fans, and removable equipment access hatches a will be located on the pumpwell roof. Pumpwell entry stairways will be include flood gate hatches to the extend to the design flood elevation. A conditioned space will be constructed in the pumpwell to house the pump control console. The main dewatering pumps, drainage pumps, sump pumps, water level indicators, piping, valves, and associated controls will be replaced. Dewatering sluice gates, mounts and thimble plates will be replaced. Other pumpwell repairs and modifications include: repair and sealing of concrete; replacement of ladders, stairs, deck plates, catwalks, and platforms; replacement of toilet/lavatory facilities; and replacement of pumpwell electrical systems. Install a remote monitoring and computer access control system for critical pumpwell equipment. Remote shutoff of the drainage pumps from the UOC will be provided in the event of a spill or contamination within the pumpwell and/or dry dock. Control systems include cybersecurity commissioning in accordance with current Department of Defense criteria. Relocation 4,160-volt substation and the 11.5kV transfer switch to outside of the pumpwell including a new (ABT) Automatic Bus Transfer Switch. Replace existing dry dock lighting system with long life features, sized and position for optimum lamination and visibility around Dry Dock No. 4. The lighting system will be operated by both photocells and switches. Replace the existing dry dock and pumpwell PA system. New 480-volt feeders will be provided from the existing dry dock substations to new dry dock low voltage connection boxes located on the coping level utility trench. These conduits would allow the shipyard to discontinue using portable power transforms to supply industrial and shore power to submarines while in the dock.
