Quick Summary
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), is hosting an Industry Day for the USCGC STORIS Homeport Recapitalization Project in Juneau, Alaska. This event is for potential Design-Build contractors interested in a project valued at $125M–$200M, with contract award projected for FY26 (Q4). RSVP by May 27, 2026, for the Industry Day on June 3, 2026.
Purpose of Industry Day
This Industry Day aims to:
- Provide a high-level overview of the project scope and objectives.
- Highlight key technical challenges and execution considerations.
- Offer industry insight into site conditions and operational constraints.
- Support market awareness in advance of the formal solicitation.
- Provide a site walk for potential design/build contractors.
Project Overview & Scope
The Government plans a Design-Build (DB) project to recapitalize and modernize waterfront infrastructure at USCG Station Juneau. This will support the homeporting of USCGC STORIS and visiting cutter classes, delivering a resilient, mission-ready waterfront facility for Arctic and Alaska region operations.
High-Level Scope Includes:
- Demolition of aging waterfront wharf and support facilities.
- Construction of a new wharf for at least one cutter berth.
- Construction of a new floating pier system for multiple (2) cutter berths.
- Fender systems and mooring infrastructure.
- Shore power, electrical, potable water, sewer, fire protection, and communications system upgrades.
- Backup power and site-wide utility distribution.
- Civil/site improvements.
Optional work may include: MWD building renovations, a covered floating small boat facility, additional building renovations, and dredging.
Key Technical Considerations
The project involves significant challenges:
- Extreme tidal variation (>25 feet).
- 100 MPH localized Taku wind events.
- High seismic design requirements.
- Cold-region construction and corrosion exposure.
- Heavy cutter berthing and mooring loads.
- Maintaining continuous USCG operations during construction.
- Requirements for temporary utilities, access, and mooring systems.
- Marine logistics, seasonal work windows, and environmental permitting.
