DeLong Pier Repair

The US Army Corps of Engineers New York District intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract for comprehensive repairs to the DeLong Pier at Pitauffik Space Base, Greenland. This competitive Invitation for Bid is restricted exclusively to Danish and Greenlandic firms, with an estimated project value between 1 million and 5 million dollars. The scope of work includes underdeck structural repairs such as replacing caisson jacket seam bolts and cleaning pile anodes, replacing approximately 500 square feet of timber decking, and blast cleaning and recoating handrails. Additionally, the project requires the installation of two new barge drains and the repair of eight shoreline erosion locations and one sinkhole using rock fill, gabion baskets, and sand geotextile fabric. Due to the remote location of Pitauffik Space Base, all personnel and supplies must be transported via air or sealift, with specific shipping windows from Norfolk, Virginia, and Copenhagen, Denmark. Exterior work is strictly limited by seasonal constraints, typically occurring between June and September, with potential extensions into May or October. Contractors must account for the lack of local labor and materials, as well as the presence of permafrost extending up to 1,600 feet deep. The solicitation is identified under number W912DS26BA035 with a response deadline of September 25, 2026.
