RFB 6543 DEAAG NAS-CC Wastewater Line & Manhole Replacement

The project involves replacing the aging wastewater sewer system at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, which currently consists of vitrified clay pipes ranging from 12 to 24 inches in diameter. The scope includes installing new fiberglass manholes and HDPE/PVC sewer lines along existing alignments and slopes on Ocean Drive, Sierra Taxiway, First Street, and Avenue D. Most of the work will be performed using pipe bursting techniques, with some sections requiring traditional open trench installation. An additive alternate for approximately 1,250 linear feet of improvements from Avenue D and 1st Street to the project limits is also included. The project is situated within the naval base and involves coordination with Navy requirements, including access, environmental considerations, and work near airfields, with specific protocols for traffic control and waste disposal. Funding is partially provided by the Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant and the Navy, with a total estimated cost of around $3.7 million for the base and additive alternate work. Access to the base requires a pass or participation in the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS), which is free for contractor personnel. The contract, titled RFB 6543, is posted with a response deadline of June 4, 2025, and is managed by the City of Corpus Christi Finance Department. The project falls within the NAICS code 423860, with a contract size estimated between $2 million and $5 million.
