PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Sacramento District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has an upcoming project for the modernization of Pier 2 to be located on the tidal side of the installation at Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO), Concord, CA. This construction effort is critical and must be performed in-between on-going missions. The required work elements include, but may not be limited to the following: demolition of all existing timber portions of the pier (includes both the main platform and western trestle, estimated to be roughly 159,000 square feet) while rebuilding these pier features using a concrete structure by way of pile driving, formwork, and concrete placement. The modernization through the use of a new concrete structure shall occupy roughly 79% of its original footprint and will incorporate the existing east trestle. Work performance will include working within a marine environment where there is sensitivity to existing habitat/s and their environment/s, which is fostered by the performance/existence of an Environmental Impact Statement that resulted in the finalization of a Record of Decision (ROD) outlining criteria for the construction effort. In addition, there is the potential for encountering unexploded ordnance during the performance of construction repairs, which will require the presence of safety personnel (Munitions of Explosive Concern {MEC} Safety Personnel) during the performance of the modernization. Finally, this construction effort may require multiple mobilizations in order to accommodate an on-going mission schedule, which will prohibit construction/occupation all non-essential personnel from occupying the tidal side of the installation during a mission. Interested contractors must be able to provide verifiable experience of performing similar projects that involve pier building through the use of pile driving, formwork, and concrete placement.
