VIMS CONSTRUCT R/V VIRGINIA (RVVA) BERTHING

The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) seeks sealed bids to construct a new berthing facility for the research vessel R/V Virginia (RVVA). The scope includes dredging an existing boat basin to expand its capacity, building a bulkhead to support the docked vessel, installing utilities (electrical, water, communications) necessary for boat operations, and constructing gravel‑paved access roads to the dock site. This is a civil‑engineering construction project focused on marine infrastructure improvement. • Dredging and excavation of the current basin to accommodate larger vessels. • Design and construction of a bulkhead structure for the R/V Virginia docking area. • Installation of supporting utilities (power, water, data) for vessel operations. • Development of gravel‑pave access routes to the new dock. • All work to be performed on‑site at Gloucester Point, VA.
