AI Contract Overview
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in coordination with the United States Coast Guard, is preparing for a major Design-Build infrastructure project to recapitalize the waterfront facilities at USCG Station Juneau, Alaska, to support the homeporting of USCGC STORIS and other visiting cutter classes. The project, with an estimated contract value between $125 million and $200 million, is scheduled for award in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 and aims to deliver a resilient, mission-ready waterfront capable of sustaining critical Coast Guard operations in the harsh Arctic and Alaskan environment. The scope includes complete demolition of aging wharf structures and construction of a new fixed wharf for one cutter berth and a floating pier system for two additional berths, complemented by comprehensive fendering, mooring systems, shore power infrastructure, potable water, sewer, fire protection, communications, and backup power systems. Civil and site improvements are required, with optional work involving renovations of three existing buildings totaling approximately 23,500 square feet, construction of a covered floating small boat facility, and dredging activities. The project site presents extreme challenges, including tidal variations exceeding 25 feet, wind events up to 100 MPH, high seismic activity, prolonged cold temperatures, saltwater corrosion, and the necessity to maintain uninterrupted 24/7 operational continuity of an active Coast Guard installation throughout all phases of construction. Temporary utilities, access routes, mooring systems, and security measures must be established to support ongoing missions without disruption. The contract will be awarded under a Firm Fixed Price Design-Build delivery method, transferring full design and construction risk to the contractor, and requires adherence to rigorous design milestones including Concept, 35%, 65%, 95%, and Issued for Construction packages, each with defined deliverables such as engineering calculations, basis of design documents, construction schedules, and quality control certifications. Contractors are expected to provide an on-site job office trailer with office and conference space, fully furnished and serviced. Electrical systems must support a net increase of 6,400 amps and integrate with the USCG Distributed Automation System, while all marine components must be designed for a 50-year service life under severe environmental conditions. Construction must comply with cold-region and seismic design standards and navigate complex environmental permitting and seasonal work windows. A site walk during the Industry Day on June 3, 2026, is mandated for interested bidders to assess existing conditions and logistical

Full Description
Purpose: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in support of the United States Coast Guard (USCG), invites interested industry partners to attend an Industry Day for the USCGC STORIS Homeport Recapitalization Project in Juneau, Alaska. This event is intended to:
- Provide a high-level overview of the project scope and objectives
- Highlight key technical challenges and execution considerations
- Offer industry insight into site conditions and operational constraints
- Support market awareness in advance of the formal solicitation
- Provide a site walk for potential design/build contractors
Project Overview: The Government is planning a Design-Build (DB) project to recapitalize and modernize the waterfront infrastructure at USCG Station Juneau to support the homeporting of USCGC STORIS and visiting cutter classes. The project will deliver a resilient, mission-ready waterfront facility capable of supporting Coast Guard operations in the Arctic and Alaska region, including search and rescue, maritime security, environmental response, and national defense missions. The anticipated construction magnitude is approximately $125M–$200M, with contract award currently projected for FY26 (Q4).
Scope Overview (High-Level): The project generally includes the Design-Build recapitalization of the existing waterfront and supporting infrastructure, including:
- Demolition of aging waterfront wharf and support facilities (not existing shoreside buildings)
- Construction of a new wharf to support at least (1) cutter berth
- Construction of a new floating pier system supporting multiple (2) cutter berths
- Fender systems and mooring infrastructure for USCG and visiting vessels
- Shore power and electrical system upgrades
- Potable water, sewer, fire protection, and communications systems
- Backup power and site-wide utility distribution
- Civil/site improvements
Optional work may include the following:
- MWD building renovations
- Covered floating small boat facility
- Additional building renovations
- Dredging
Note: This overview is provided for general awareness only. Detailed requirements will be included in the forthcoming Request for Proposals (RFP).
Key Technical Considerations: This project presents significant technical and logistical challenges, including:
- Extreme tidal variation (>25 feet)
- 100 MPH localized Taku wind events
- High seismic design requirements
- Cold-region construction and corrosion exposure
- Heavy cutter berthing and mooring loads
- The project site is an active, 24/7 operational Coast Guard installation and there will be a requirement to maintain continuous USCG operations during construction
- Temporary utilities, access, and mooring systems will be required
- Marine logistics, seasonal work windows, and environmental permitting will be critical
- Cold-region or Arctic construction
Site Walk: A site walk of USCG Station Juneau waterfront facilities will be conducted as part of Industry Day. The site walk will include the following:
- Provide firsthand understanding of existing conditions
- Support industry planning for constructability and execution
RSVP: The Industry Date is set to occur on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. All interested parties shall complete the Google Form as provided in the link below by May 27, 2026. An email with event details will be provided separately. Please direct all questions regarding Industry Day to jana.kolb@noaa.gov and amy.l.mcliverty@noaa.gov.
