SOURCES SOUGHT FOR TEMPORARY WALL REPLACEMENT AT DENISON POWERHOUSE, DENISON, TEXAS This is a SOURCES SOUGHT announcement; a market survey for information only, to be used for preliminary acquisition planning purposes.

No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this sources sought announcement or any follow up information requests. Respondents will be notified upon request following the sources sought evaluation results. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Tulsa District (SWT) is conducting market research for anticipated Design-Build contract and intends to solicit proposals on or about April 2024. The type of set-aside decision(s) to be issued will depend upon the responses to this sources sought announcement and associated market research. The Denison Powerhouse is located on the Red River, five miles north of Denison, Texas. The project began commercial operation in 1945. Turbine replacement work was completed on both units in 2022. The project contains two 49,500 kilowatt (kW) units with a total rated generating capacity of 99,000kW. The powerhouse produces an estimated average annual energy amount of 219,000,000 kilowatt-hours. The wall located on the north side of the powerhouse is constructed of timber trusses and was intended to be temporary, allowing for the possible expansion of the powerhouse. The wall is more than 75 years old and is deteriorating. Water leakage through the seals between panel joints has caused the sheathing and structural timbers to rot in many places. Several asbestos cementitious panels have blown off in recent years and were replaced. Efforts to prevent water from seeping into the powerhouse include treating timbers with hardener and sealing panel joints; however, these measures are not an effective long-term solution. This work includes replacement of the temporary wall into a permanent structure. The necessary structural framing may determine the layout of the permanent wall.
