Rebuild Menominee Pier Light 6

The Department of Homeland Security, through the U.S. Coast Guard Civil Engineering Unit Cleveland, issued solicitation 70Z08318BPCR12100 for the rebuild of Menominee Pier Light 6 in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. The project requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and transportation necessary to execute the work in accordance with December 2017 specifications and construction drawings 8437-D. The scope of work encompasses the demolition and removal of the existing tower in sections for recycling, the construction of a new civil foundation with specific rebar and ladder rung details, and the fabrication and installation of a new tower. Key structural components include tower sections, splice connectors, base plates, an access ladder with a safety climb system, a tower platform, and stands for solar panels and optical equipment. Technical requirements emphasize strict adherence to material standards, including the use of ASTM A775 epoxy coating and schedule 40 pipe. A critical aspect of the project is the implementation of a comprehensive electrical lightning protection plan, which involves installing air terminals, stranded aluminum cable, and grounding components. Contractors are permitted to bond the lightning protection from the tower to the sheet pile wall using exothermic welding. The project also includes the installation of a battery box, though the Coast Guard is responsible for providing the batteries. All work must comply with the provided technical drawings, which cover everything from the general vicinity map and foundation plans to detailed structural assembly and platform framing.
