PROJECT:  Liquid Bulk Pier Relocation /
Turning Basin Widening- Port of Wilmington

The North Carolina State Ports Authority (NCSPA) desires to better understand the availability and interest of contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers for the subject project.  This is a project of vital strategic importance for the NCSPA, and the schedules for design, bidding, and construction are compressed.  Therefore, this notice serves as the initial public announcement, and there may be further notices and information shared prior to the bid period.  Since the bid period will be short, the intent of the NCSPA is to inform bidders ahead of time to the best degree possible, such that bids can be produced quickly once the final construction documents are available.

SCOPE OF WORK
Per the following pages, the main elements of work are:

  1. New pipe bridge over shallow water from liquid bulk pier to Berth 1.
  2. Pipe rack supports structures at Berth 1, including liquid bulk loading platform.
  3. Installation of product pipelines and associated utilities, liquid bulk to pier to Berth
  4. Demolition of existing structures at the liquid bulk pier- platform, pier sections, breasting cells, and mooring dolphins.
  5. Dredging in the area of the demolished pier.

Prime contractors submitting bids shall be prequalified by the NCDOT for dock/pier construction (work code 009200).  The NCSPA would appreciate responses from the prime contractors, and other firms (subcontractors and suppliers) who may have an interest.  At this time, the NCSPA is only looking for an expression of interest.  Whether a prime contractor responds to this notice, or not, has no bearing on the ability to bid the work.  This is not a shortlisting process.  Any prequalified contractor may submit a bid.
