Electrical Upgrades to Support Future Three-Phase Power Supply Service at Lac qui Parle Dam near Watson, MN
USACE St. Paul District is conducting market research for electrical upgrades at Lac qui Parle Dam near Watson, MN, to prepare the dam for future three-phase gate-actuator upgrades while maintaining existing 120/240-volt single-phase actuators. Anticipated work includes refeeding the existing single-phase transformer, installing utility poles and three 480-volt transformers with metering, connecting an existing 480-volt three-phase source to a new service/distribution panel, demolishing/cutting existing conduit and conductors, disconnecting the existing single-phase feed, coordinating easements and utility work with USACE, Lac qui Parle County, and MN Valley Light and Power, and performing testing, grounding, submittals, inspections, plus possible tree/brush removal. The estimated construction magnitude is between $30,000 and $70,000. USACE seeks capability statements from qualified sources, especially small businesses, to assess NAICS/size-standard suitability, set-aside feasibility, self-performance capability, relevant experience, and schedule or utility-coordination concerns.
