Quick Summary
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in support of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), is hosting an Industry Day for the USCGC STORIS Homeport Recapitalization Project in Juneau, Alaska. This event aims to provide a high-level overview of the Design-Build (DB) project, highlight key technical challenges, offer industry insight into site conditions, and support market awareness for a future solicitation. The project involves recapitalizing and modernizing waterfront infrastructure at USCG Station Juneau, with an anticipated construction magnitude of $125M–$200M. The Industry Day is on June 3, 2026, and RSVPs are due by May 27, 2026.
Project Overview & Scope
This Design-Build project will deliver a resilient, mission-ready waterfront facility at USCG Station Juneau, capable of supporting the USCGC STORIS and visiting cutter classes for Arctic and Alaska region operations (including search and rescue, maritime security, environmental response, and national defense missions).
High-level scope items include:
- Demolition of aging waterfront wharf and support facilities.
- Construction of a new wharf to support at least one cutter berth.
- Construction of a new floating pier system supporting multiple (two) cutter berths.
- Fender systems and mooring infrastructure for USCG and visiting vessels.
- Shore power and electrical system upgrades.
- Potable water, sewer, fire protection, and communications systems.
- 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 Challenges
The project presents significant technical and logistical challenges, such as:
- Extreme tidal variation (>25 feet) and 100 MPH localized Taku wind events.
- High seismic design requirements and cold-region construction/corrosion exposure.
- Heavy cutter berthing and mooring loads.
- Requirement to maintain continuous 24/7 USCG operations during construction, necessitating temporary utilities, access, and mooring systems.
- Complex marine logistics, seasonal work windows, and environmental permitting.
Industry Day & Response
The Industry Day will be held on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, and will include a site walk of the USCG Station Juneau waterfront facilities to provide firsthand understanding of existing conditions and support industry planning for constructability and execution. Interested parties must complete the Google Form provided in the original notice by May 27, 2026, to RSVP. An email with event details will be provided separately.
