The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District (SPK) anticipates solicitation of a requirement for design-bid-build (DBB) construction services to be performed in support of the Upgrade Mission Lighting project at Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO), in Concord, CA.

The project is anticipated to require removal of three-hundred-ninety-six (396) existing interior and exterior high-intensity lighting fixtures and replacing them with fixtures utilizing energy efficient light emitting diode (LED) flood and/or exterior lights, including adjusting panels and paired radio-frequency (RF) remote controls. The 208/120-Volt and 480/277-Volt electrical panels must be modified accordingly. Exterior lights will be placed on lightning protection system (LPS) poles, building walls, and roof frames.

At least twenty-four (24) aluminum poles of approximately forth (40) feet in height will be constructed and energy efficient LED exterior lighting will be installed to cover areas currently without lighting infrastructure. The contractor will be responsible for obtaining necessary permits for excavation/construction and comply with Installation requirements regarding locating and marking underground utilities.

The Government anticipates construction work will begin within 14 days of notice to proceed and will have a period of performance of one year (365 days). There are no seasonal restrictions, but the hours of work are limited to eight and one-half hours daily, Monday – Friday.
