The contract is for five years plus three one-year options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Multi-Mission Dry Dock is a fully pressure-relieved dry dock capable of accommodating shipyard repair services for the newest Ford-class aircraft carrier, Nimitz-class carriers, and other surface and subsurface ships served by PSNS &amp; IMF,\u201d according to the Sources Sought notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project was spurred by the need to service Ford-class carriers on the West Coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Navy does not currently have the capacity and capability to perform depot-level maintenance on a Gerald R. Ford-class carrier in the Pacific Northwest,\u201d according to the Navy\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/multimissiondrydock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">Multi-Mission Dry Dock website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The capability to even service older carriers is limited at Puget Sound: \u201cThe only dry dock on the West Coast able to accommodate a current Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is Dry Dock 6 (DD6), which does not meet seismic resiliency standards and cannot fully accommodate Ford-class carriers,\u201d the site reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The multiple-award construction contract, or MACC, includes several task orders that typically range between $2 billion and $6 billion each. However, there may be smaller task orders for early contractor involvement and alternative technical concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe focus of this MACC will be the construction of a new proposed Multi-Mission Dry Dock at PSNS &amp; IMF, located at Naval Base Kitsap (NBK) Bremerton, Washington,\u201d the Sources Sought notice said. Located within the existing Dry Dock 3 and Piers 6 and 7, the project includes \u201cdry dock drainage, dewatering, and flooding systems; a caisson; roadways and rail networks; portal crane track; access and egress elements; mechanical, electrical, and communications systems; support buildings; and utility routing tunnels. The proposed project also includes demolition of facilities and utilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy expects the first task order to include dredging, as well as work on piers, buildings and utilities. The second task order will see demolition of Dry Dock 3 and construction of the multi-mission dry dock. Task order three will provide infrastructure, such as electrical substations, utility tunnels and building crane rails. Task order four will be for the dock caisson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Puget Sound has been a fixture for the Navy for more than a century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It began in 1891, when the Navy bought 190 acres for $10,000 (about $367,000 today) to create Naval Station Puget Sound. The station became a shipyard in 1900 and was the Navy\u2019s only West Coast repair facility until 1941. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBetween 1917 and 1969, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard constructed a total of 85 ships, including the largest vessels on the West Coast,\u201d the Navy said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Navy is moving forward
