INTRODUCTION
We appreciate any effort you could take to assist us in demonstrating our multiple
design build capabilities to the contracting officers at the Savannah District US Army Corps of
Engineers.
Because of our close proximity to Savannah, GA. and the fact we have a $45M
Mechanical SATOC within the Boundaries of the South Atlantic Division of the USACE we feel
this is an outstanding opportunity to expand our operations.
C.W. Ferrell was accepted into the SBA 8(a) program in 2008. Our major clients are the
U.S. Navy (NAVFAC) and the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. All of our current contracts are at the
defense facilities in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. We are a diversified construction
firm with 2014 sales of approximately $18 million. We are not a pass-through organization. We
are a fully involved Prime Contractor with a very capable and experienced staff capable of
design and construction of complex, difficult projects. Approximately, 50% of our work is
design-build work. The other 50% is bid-build work. The type work we perform in both design-
build and bid-build includes mechanical, electrical, site, marine and general construction work.
Typically our own personnel manage the design and construction of projects. Also, our
personnel maintain the field supervision, quality control and general construction duties on-
site. We have a pool of very capable subcontractors familiar with the rigors of federal work
that complete the C.W. Ferrell Construction, Inc. Design-Build Team.

projects that were recently complete or presently being performed by CWF.
GENEARL/STRUCTRUAL
EAF Lot Building at Marine corps Staging Facility, Blount Island, Florida - $670,745.00
This 9,000 sq. ft. multiple purpose storage and office building was completed on
schedule. Several on cost design modifications were implemented to further meet
the operational requirements of the project including changing the fire protection
system to a dry pipe system, lighting improvements and modifications to the high
voltage electrical system that supported the building.
Relocate Emergency Operations Center (EOC), Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, FL.
- $191,740
This project required an older facility to be reconditioned to accept the Emergency
Operations Center to be moved into this space. In addition to architectural work
changes to the data, communication, audio visual systems were extensive. Also, a
complete custom office furnishing package was installed.
Design - Build NSMB Warehouse and Canopy at Blount Island, Florida -
$808,000.00
Features of this project included a new metal building, large metal canopy at existing
warehouse, heavy reinforced concrete slab and footings and electrical system,
temperature and humidity control, and fast acting roll up doors.
`Renovations to Bldg. 448, Naval Air Station, Mayport, Florida - $230,000.00
This fast track contract was a security “safe room” conversion of an existing building.
This contract was scheduled for an eight week completion and CWF finished the
project in six weeks and received a Letter of Appreciation and service medal from
Navel Security for an outstanding job.
MECHANICAL
Design-build Composite Shop Autoclave Cooling Tower, Fleet Readiness Center –
South East, Naval Air Station, Jacksonville - $572,384.00
This project required the design and installation of a new water cooling system
including a large cooling tower, vented storage tank, piping, control’s and supporting
electrical components to replace the water cooling system that was in use. Most of
the mechanical components and piping were required to be made of stainless steel.
Three Autoclaves were supported by this cooling system. Each Autoclave was
switched to the new cooling water, commissioned and certified individually to
minimize the impact to the operation of the Composite Shop.
Bldg. 101C Composite Shop Blast Booth - $2,000,000
This design-build project is in the final stage of design. The blast booth is large,
about 3000 cubic feet and will be constructed so personnel inside the booth may
clean flight hardware by spraying abrasive material on components as part of an
operational process. The abrasive material inside the booth will be captured and
the air used in the booth will be filtered through a bank of hepa filters and released.
New concrete foundation will support the blast booth and structural steel assembly
will support the filter bank, cyclone separator and exhaust stack. Additionally, large
shop equipment will be relocated and new make-up air unit installed on the shop
roof. This project required application to the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection to issue an Air Construction Permit and Title V Air Operation Permit.
These permits are necessary for any facility that will release emissions into the
atmosphere.
Install Air Handler Unit Ultra Violet Lights at Mayport Naval Station -
$1,715,921.00
This project required the installation of ultra violet (UV) light fixtures inside all of the
614 air handlers at Mayport Naval Station. The purpose of the light fixtures was to
kill bacteria and mold spores in the air system which reduces organic deposits on the
HVAC coils thereby increasing efficiency of the HVAC system. Also, there are health
benefits to cleaner air in the buildings. However, UV lighting is harmful to the
eyesight of anyone that looks directly into the light. Shielding and a safety interlock
that shut off the light if the air handler was opened was planned to protect
personnel’s eyes. The C.W. Ferrell Construction value engineered the scope of work
to install an alternative to the ultra violet lights. A technology called
“Photohydroionization” or PHI which does not have the eyesight hazard of UV
lighting. The PHI system was accepted and installed. This eliminated the need for
shielding and safety interlocks on the air handler access doors and reduced the cost
and duration of the project.
ELECTRICAL
Hangar 124 High Bay Lighting Replacement and Building 168 400 Hz Converter
Replacement - $779,191.00
This design-build project was two different scopes of work under one contract.
First, Hangar 124 required the removal and replacement of existing light fixtures
and circuits in a large aircraft hangar while the Hangar remained occupied and
operational. The illuminated area of the Hangar was over 60,000 square feet and
required 172 light fixtures. An induction lighting system was selected as the most
energy efficient system that would deliver adequate light for the needs of the
facility. Light levels in the Hanger were more than doubled while energy
consumption was reduced by more than 10%. During the installation of the fixtures
emergency lighting and a daylight harvesting system were added to the scope of
work.
The second scope of work was to remove the existing 400 Hz Electrical Converter
Units and replace them with two new 45KVA 400 Hz Converters. New circuits,
panels, breakers and disconnects were also installed.
Install Overhead Electrical Switches Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Florida -
$441,249.00
This project required the installation of nine (9) electrical switches that are
mounted at the top of electrical poles at various locations around NAS Jacksonville.
The switches are used to manipulate the way electrical energy is routed around the
large electrical grids at the base. One of the challenges of this project was to
coordinate when to electrical power could be shut down to enable work to be
performed as each electrical grid supports a multitude of buildings. It was
determined the best time to replace the switches was overnight using an
abundance of equipment and manpower. The work was successfully performed
over several nights with minimal impact to base operations.
Replace Electrical Service and Landing Safety Officer (LSO) Shelters OLF
Whitehouse Field Jacksonville, Florida - $3,932,758.00
This is a design-build project at a remote airfield that is scheduled for renovations
over the next several years. The primary work includes several miles of
underground electrical circuits, new electrical vaults, switchgear, sitework and
concrete slabs to support the forthcoming electrical infrastructure. Additionally, a
60 foot light tower will be removed and new light installed on the existing airport
tower.
Strategic Weapons Facility Atlantic (SWFLANT) Light Replacement, Kings Bay,
Georgia - $2,720,363.00
This electrical project is being performed at a secret rated facility and requires a
contractor with a confidential clearance to obtain the contract. Terms of our
security agreement and contract do not allow public discussion of the contract.
Information can be provided by the Contracting Officer at Kings Bay Nuclear
Submarine Base Georgia. His information is included in our reference section.
MARINE/UNDERWATER
Repair Berths 2 & 4 at MIC/MCSF. This $2,712,000 marine project consists of

driven on a 45 degree angle, deck spall repairs, rip-rap stabilization, bollards,
cleats, structural pile jackets and security fence.
Repair Berths 1, 3, & 5 at BIC/MCSF. This $3,683,679 consists of rehabilitation of
three large berthing wharfs. Major aspects of the project consist of; fender
repairs above and below deck spall repairs, installation of quay wall and test
anodes, structural and non-structural pile jackets and concrete pile caps.
Dry-dock sill silt removal at the Kings Bay Nuclear Submarine Base. This was an
emergency fast track diver assisted air lift dredge project. This underwater
