Description

General. This is a SOURCES SOUGHT and is for informational/market research purposes only. This is not a request for proposal, quotation or bid, nor a synopsis of a proposed contract action under RFO FAR subpart 5.1, PRESOLICITATION.

This Sources Sought is to gain knowledge of the interest, capabilities, and qualifications of industry so the government can make informed business decisions. We are seeking responses from both large and small business members of industry to include: Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Businesses to include 8(a) firms, Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone), Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) to include Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small business (SDVOSB) and Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB).

All interested parties are highly encouraged to respond. The North American Industrial Classification Code (NAICS) for this requirement is: TBD - The approximate value of Project will be $50M to $100M. Formal Sources Sought Response Due – before 3:00 pm PDT on 26 November 2026 2. Project Details and Background.

The USCG Station at Cape Disappointment requires repairs, upgrades, and improvements to existing infrastructure and nearby areas to restore and retain full mission readiness. The Station is on an unstable sandbar which has experienced sediment migration into dock and adjacent waterway areas. Dock structures are failing and require repair/replacement.

The vessel haul-out facility is currently inoperable due to sedimentation and requires the USCG to conduct frequent maintenance dredging. Haul-out structure is failing and requires replacement. Adjacent landscape features pose rockfall dangers above the engineering and maintenance buildings to people and property 3.

Project Scope. Rockfall slope instability corrective measures: Anticipated rockfall mitigation will require corrective measures including but not limited to tree removal, rock scaling, rock dowel installation, draped mesh removal and replacement, removal and/or repair of an existing damaged ringnet fence, and installation of a midslope attenuator system. Rockfall mitigation will require difficult access techniques to reach the full height of the hazardous slope.

Temporary protection of the facility and workers will be required. Repairs to damaged roadways, utilities or access pathways may be required. Repair of an existing small landslide slump along the access road is required.

Final mitigation work will reduce rockfall risk to USCG personnel and facility. Waterfront structures and vessel haul-out: The waterfront structures require repairs and upgrades. Replacement of the existing floating docks is required; they will retain their current configuration (footprint) but utilize updated material specifications.

Existing timber and steel piles will be either replaced, or reused with new floats, as part of this contract, depending on current condition. Geotechnical, civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical scope is included. Constraints include: Float A to be retained; guide piles at floating docks #2 and #4 to be replaced; wave screens to be replaced; electrical equipment to be upgraded; existing vessel haul-out facility to be replaced.

Eel grass and SAV surveys are required to inform design. Dock operations are to be maintained during construction, per phasing to be outlined by the government. Coastal Resilience and Sedimentation Remediation: Due to the catastrophic loss of the protective coastal dune, the facility requires a comprehensive permanent solution to control massive sediment migration.

Bathymetric surveys, geotechnical testing, and coastal modeling are required to inform viable design and permit alternatives. The design will utilize modern, resilient coastal engineering practices including Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), dynamic revetments, segmented offshore breakwaters/sills, and the beneficial reuse of dredged sediment wherever practicable. Construction may be implemented in functional phases to optimize funding and operational readiness.

Shoreline protection repairs and upgrades are considered part of this category along with the Haul Out structure. Interim repair work: Interim repair work may be required on existing structures before new design and construction activity can be completed. If the need arises, USACE will provide USCG a description of the recommended repairs and a cost estimate.

If USCG would like USACE to institute repairs, an updated agreement to define the scope will be established. 4. Submission Instructions.
