Floating Dock Design & Engineering

The contract requires the development of engineered design plans and comprehensive flotation stability analysis for a floating dock system to be installed at Bass Lake in Ohio, with specific consideration for fluctuating lake levels and environmental conditions unique to the location. The deliverables must ensure structural integrity, safety, and long-term functionality under varying water conditions, requiring detailed hydraulic modeling, material selection, and load calculations tailored to the site’s environmental profile. The design must account for seasonal water level shifts, wind forces, wave action, and potential ice loading, ensuring the dock remains stable, accessible, and compliant with engineering standards for marine infrastructure. This is a subcontract under the Department of Defense through the FA8601 Aflcmc Pzio office, with the place of performance listed as Wright Patterson AFB, indicating potential defense-related or military facility use. The North American Industry Classification System code 541330 classifies the work under engineering services, emphasizing the technical and analytical nature of the required deliverables. Proposals are due by July 9, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 1, 2026. The scope demands a high degree of precision in analysis and documentation, and successful bidders must demonstrate expertise in marine engineering, hydrostatic modeling, and experience with freshwater floating systems in dynamic environments. All work must align with federal contracting requirements applicable to defense subcontracting, though no specific set-aside designation is indicated.
