Design-Build Demolition of Building 195 located at Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Virginia

Solicitation N4008525R2674 is a design-build project for the demolition of Building 195 at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia, managed by NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic. The scope of work involves the complete demolition and deconstruction of the facility, including the management of hazardous materials such as PCBs, lead, cadmium, and chromium. Key technical requirements include strict adherence to environmental controls, the implementation of a soil management plan for contaminated soils, and the coordination of work adjacent to active railroad tracks. The project requires a firm fixed price proposal, with the award based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria. The bid structure consists of a base price for demolition and dewatering operations, with separate options for the removal of unforeseen buried debris and unsatisfactory excavation spoils. Contractors must provide highly qualified key personnel, including a Superintendent with at least seven years of experience and a Project Manager, both of whom must complete the Construction Quality Management for Contractors course. Performance is subject to rigorous safety and environmental standards, including EM 385-1-1 and various EPA and OSHA regulations. Compliance is monitored through mandatory monthly exposure reports and safety self-evaluations, with failure to meet standards resulting in payment retention. All invoicing must be processed through the Wide-Area Workflow (WAWF) system. Following several amendments to update specifications and wage determinations, the final proposal submission deadline was established for January 23, 2026.
