The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is issuing a request for proposals (RFP) for the removal of a collapsed pavilion at Station Cape Disappointment in Ilwaco, WA. The pavilion poses a safety hazard and detracts from the professional appearance of the facility. The scope of work includes full removal of the pavilion, which has a footprint of approximately 40’x20’, without damaging the underlying concrete slab. Contractors have the option to retain the pavilion or dispose of it at a landfill, providing a dump receipt as proof of disposal. The removal must be completed within eight days of contract award, and testing has confirmed that the pavilion does not contain any asbestos-containing materials (ACM). This project reflects the USCG's commitment to maintaining safety and operational standards at its facilities.
