This is a Sources Sought Notice only and is not a request for proposal or invitation for bid. Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Northwest (NAVFAC) Northwest is seeking responses from construction firms capable of performing a Design-Bid-Build (DBB) construction upgrades to Pier D. This will include the electrical, civil, and structural work required to upgrade the east and west shore power connections to accommodate simultaneous mooring of CVN 78 and CVN 68 carriers on each side of Pier D. This contract will consist of constructing Substation Z, demolition/removal of facilities 973, 973A, 973B and Substation H to clear the site for the new substation H; install supporting facilities and power distribution systems to support homeporting of CB 78 Class and CVN 68 Class carriers at Pier D. Dedicated and correctly configured 13.8kV underground shore power is required at Pier D to support Homeporting of CVN 78 (Ford) Class Aircraft Carriers at NBK-Bremerton. Power is required to be adequate, concurrent, and at reliable levels (13.8 kV and 4.16 kV) for CVN 78 and CVN 68 Class nuclear powered Aircraft Carriers concurrently. CVN 78 class is scheduled to arrive on the West Coast in the 2027–2028-time frame. This project is an integral component of the electrical backbone serving the waterfront pier and drydock operations. Pier D is also essential to support homeporting and maintenance support for the SSBN, SSGN and SSBN(x) trident platforms being processed into and out of drydock maintenance operations. The near future construction plans for a multi-mission dry dock and three new piers will put additional pressure on the need for Pier D to have Nimitz Class, Ford Class and Trident platform shore power capabilities at Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton, WA.
