Naval Facilities Engineering System Command Mid-Atlantic is conducting a market survey to assess industry interest and feedback regarding the potential use of a Project Labor Agreement for the construction project involving bulkhead repairs at S50 South and demolition of the T-Pier at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island. The project aims to replace approximately 686 linear feet of deteriorated steel sheet-pile bulkhead and 193 linear feet of rip-rap along the Coddington Cove shoreline with a new system featuring a wale and deadman anchor design, coated with macro epoxy to mitigate corrosion, while the rip-rap will be replaced in kind to maintain shoreline stability. Additionally, the project includes the complete demolition of Facility S528, the T-Pier, requiring excavation and disposal of fill material, concrete slabs, submerged sediments, steel sheet-pile structures cut two feet below the mudline, and associated infrastructure like mooring dolphins and utilities. The work must comply with the EPA’s Record of Decision for CERCLA/IR Superfund Site 19 and the Navy’s Federal Facility Compliance Agreement, addressing hazardous materials such as arsenic and asbestos. The estimated contract value ranges between $25 million and $100 million, with a projected performance period of approximately 610 calendar days and a NAICS code of 237990. Given the project’s scale, Executive Order 14063 mandates consideration of a Project Labor Agreement under FAR Subpart 22.5, as the estimated cost exceeds the $35 million threshold. Responses to the market survey must be submitted via email using prescribed forms—Contractor Information Form and Project Information Form—with a strict page limit and file size cap of 4MB by May 13, 2026.

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 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.
