The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is 3272. All responsible sources may submit a quote which shall be considered by the agency. This solicitation is for providing and installing a floating breakwater at the U.S. Maritime Administration, James River Reserve Fleet, Fort Eustis, Virginia. This solicitation is 100% small business set-aside. 1. General: The anchorage at the James River Reserve Fleet (JRRF) is located approximately 20 miles above the mouth of the river. The shore side facility is located on U.S. Army Fort Eustis, Virginia and requires access to the fort in order to reach the fleet site. There are 21 ships in the fleet anchorage, along with several small harbor craft used to service the fleet at the fleet location. The fleet's hours or operation are 0700-1730, Monday through Thursday, however the contractor may work outside of these hours with prior approval. The Contractor's rates will be based upon cost per complete the delivery and installation (to include providing and driving all pilings necessary to anchor the breakwater) within the JRRF boat basin. 2. Dimensions: The breakwater shall extend for as near as possible to the existing concrete pier westward following the existing steel sheet piling breakwater approximately 200 feet. The width of the concretes pontoons shall be at least 13 feet, but not more than 16.5 feet. The pontoon sections shall be anchored with pilings at either end of suitable size and construction for the water depth, expected sea conditions, bottom characteristics, etc. 2.1. Site Visit: Bidders may visit the fleet site to examine the location as needed. Boring samples were taken at the time the existing steel sheet piling breakwater was driven. The boring report and breakwater design drawings for the existing system are available for inspection. The Point of Contact at the JRRF is Martin Walker, 757-887-3233, ex 11, who will schedule visits as needed. Site visits should be completed by not later than Sep 11, 2013. 2.2.
