Requirement The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Nashville District, anticipates a requirement for a firm fixed-price construction contract for the removal and replacement of a 165-ton gantry crane on the tail deck of Barkley Dam at Kuttawa, KY*.

Work also will include design, manufacturing, and installation of all below-the-hook lifting devices such as the main hoist lifting beam, secondary lifting beam, and clamshell bucket. The main hoist lifting beam and secondary beam will be required to contain self-actuating gate latches. 3. Electrical work will include installation of new 480v feeders to run crane motor and controls. 4. Existing multi-purpose gantry crane, which includes a 110 ton hoist and a 75 ton hoist, will be deconstructed from the dam intake deck and removed from the site via floating plant or other acceptable means. 5. Work executed under this contract will be subject to time sensitive powerhouse outage restrictions with potential major impacts to powerhouse revenue. The contractor will be required to provide all plant, labor and materials to complete the project. *Please note that this description is subject to change.
