Mare Island Repairs And Drydock Services

The M/V Mare Island will undergo a comprehensive drydock and repair operation following a solicitation issued by the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority, with performance to be carried out in Vallejo, California. The scope encompasses routine inspections, USCG credit drydocking, and a full suite of hull and mechanical repairs, including high-pressure hull washing, underwater coating preparation and application of INTERNATIONAL BRA 641 antifouling paint, anode renewal, sea valve inspection and replacement, and repainting of draft marks and vessel identifiers using INTERNATIONAL 900 HS epoxy. Major mechanical work involves removing and replacing the port MJP waterjet with a spare unit and removing and reinstalling the starboard MJP waterjet to enable extensive structural repairs to the starboard jet tunnel as detailed in engineering plans, alongside inspection of the port forepeak void. All work must comply with technical specifications, manufacturer guidelines for coating thickness, USCG standards, and a contractor-approved quality assurance program, with final acceptance occurring at WETA’s facilities upon successful completion of testing and sea trials. The contract award will be based on a best-value trade-off process, weighing price (40 points), project understanding and approach (20 points), proposer qualifications and experience (20 points), schedule (10 points), and key personnel qualifications (10 points), totaling 100 points. Although no contract value is specified due to unpopulated pricing tables, proposals must include a detailed cost structure and adhere to Buy America requirements, federal tax liability certification, and NDAA Section 889 prohibitions against Chinese telecommunications equipment. Contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon wage requirements, OSHA safety standards, and recordkeeping obligations, while also meeting insurance, debarment, and lobbying certification conditions. Invoices must be submitted electronically to WETA’s project manager and accounts payable, with payment expected within 30 days. Proposals are limited to 25 pages excluding supporting documents and must be submitted exclusively via the Bonfire portal by August 21, 2026. Contract administration is managed by Jeff Powell, with no separate COR or PCO role designated. The work must be performed entirely within the specified location without federal packaging or marking standards applying to shipped goods, but with clear marking and preservation requirements tied directly to the vessel itself.
