Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition: Emergency Repairs to Glass Breakwater, Apra Harbor, Guam

Background
The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Marianas has issued a justification for other than full and open competition for a sole-source contract modification to Tutor Perini Corporation-Nan Inc. A Joint Venture (TPC-NAN JV). This action is necessary for critical and immediate emergency waterfront stabilization repairs to the Glass Breakwater at Apra Harbor, Guam, which has sustained damage from Typhoon Sinlaku.

The repairs are essential to mitigate further deterioration of this critical infrastructure, which is vital for military logistics and operations in the region.

Work Details
The scope of work includes: bathymetric surveys, hydrodynamic modeling, rock recovery, and procurement and placement of critical armor stone. Approximately one-third of the breakwater has 'failed,' defined by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as a loss of 20% or more by volume of the armor stones on the outside of the breakwater.

The remaining two-thirds is in a condition of 'intermediate damage,' defined as a loss up to 15% by volume. Further deterioration was discovered in May 2024, indicating that the breakwater is at significant risk of partial breach, which could lead to full breach. The urgency is heightened due to the high potential for storms in the region, which could expedite further damage.

Place of Performance
Apra Harbor, Guam.

Bidder Requirements
The incumbent contractor, TPC-NAN JV, is already mobilized and performing repair work on the Glass Breakwater. No additional bidders are being solicited due to the unique circumstances surrounding this emergency repair project.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, as NAVFAC is issuing a sole-source modification to Tutor Perini Corporation-Nan Inc. A Joint Venture (TPC-NAN JV), which is already mobilized and performing repairs on the Glass Breakwater at Apra Harbor, Guam. The prior award information shows closely related work under Black Construction–Tutor Perini JV (N6274221D1323) valued at $157,039,375 for the MAMIZU MACC NAVFACPAC AOR period 01/06/21–01/06/26, which aligns with the current emergency waterfront stabilization scope (e.g., bathymetric surveys, hydrodynamic modeling, rock recovery, and armor stone placement) as a continuation of breakwater repair activities following Typhoon Sinlaku.
