AI Contract Overview

The Department of the Navy, through Navfac Southwest, is forecasting a construction project for DB Construction under a HUBZONE MACC task order to repair the 53 Area Training Tank Complex. This facility serves as the sole Marine Corps Underwater Egress Trainer on the West Coast and includes bathhouse facility 53415 and training tank facility 53417. The scope of work involves repairing plumbing and mechanical systems for both structures, fixing the pool decking, and restoring the surrounding asphalt and gravel parking areas. These repairs are critical to addressing immediate life, health, and safety concerns caused by standing water, mold, and mildew. Because no other training tank exists at this location, the facility must remain operational to prevent significant negative impacts on the mission training and combat readiness of Marines and Sailors until a permanent MILCON replacement is programmed. The project falls under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction.
