Design-Bid Build Repair Project of AUTEC Pier, Facility 1902 at Andros Island, Bahamas   3

This acquisition resulted in the award of a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract for Design-Bid-Build (DBB) construction and was solicited as Full and Open on an Unrestricted basis.

The intent of the project is to repair the primary operational pier facility at the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) located at Andros Island, Bahamas. The existing superstructure will be removed, but the existing steel piles will be cutoff and incorporated in the new pier to help stabilize structural backfill. The proposed pier is a closed-pier mole-type structure with a steel pipe pile combination wall aligned with the existing pier perimeter that will retain compacted structural fill. The compacted fill will be capped with a reinforced concrete slab-on-grade deck. The new pier will abut the existing landside bulkhead. The proposed pier will include shore power, potable water, fire protection system, lighting, mooring hardware and foam filled fender system. Pier utilities will tie-in to existing landside sources.

Temporary mooring for AUTEC vessels will be constructed to provide safe mooring for the vessels during construction. The temporary mooring facility will be constructed to minimize interruptions to AUTEC operations.

The AUTEC pier facility is a berthing facility located at Andros Island, Bahamas to support the AUTEC Range. Potable water and AC electric power are available at the pier.
