The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), St. Paul, District is seeking interested and capable sources for the Baldhill Dam Ogee Spillway Concrete Repair Project. Using USACE supplied plans and specifications, the contractor will accomplish the following summary Scope of Work at the Baldhill Dam in Valley City, North Dakota (Barnes County): Remove all delaminated and unsound concrete, to a removal depth of sound concrete, along the downstream ogee spillway surfaces of gate bay(s) 1, 2, and 3. By methods of chemical grouting, eliminate all paths of water penetration into the structural concrete matrix. Water appears to be leaking through the exposed horizontal construction joints along the upstream vertical face and is existing to the downstream concrete ogee surface. Underwater chemical grouting will be required by an experienced dive team. The Contractor will be required to submit a diving safety plan for approval, including certifications for all divers. Divers will be required to seal the exterior vertical surface of each horizontal joint. A bituminous soaked oakum rope will be tightly packed into the horizontal joints to prevent any leakage of the chemical grout. Divers will also be used to drill and inject the chemical grout into the horizontal joints along the upstream piers. The contractor will be required to safely mix and inject the chemical grout into the concrete spillway structure in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and specified requirements. The contractor will be required to wear all personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the chemical grout and cleaning materials in accordance with the Material Safety Data Sheets. In addition to the required PPE, the contractor’s on-site employees will be required to wear a Personal Monitoring Badge to measure the exposure of any chemical vapors released while on-site. Each personal badge will be collected and analyzed. Finally, a concrete overlay will be placed, within the previously removed areas, along the downstream spillway gate bay surfaces.
