Only contractors capable of performing this type of work should respond to this Request for Information. Requirement The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Nashville District, anticipates a requirement for a firm fixed-price construction contract for the rehabilitation of the existing emergency gate at Barkley Lock, Grand Rivers, KY. The estimated magnitude of this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Summary of work for the Barkley Emergency Gate Rehab Project*: 1. This work involves removal, rehabilitation, and reinstallation of the existing Barkley Lock Emergency Gate. The gate will be removed from the lock chamber by a marine based crane. The gate may be staged adjacent to the lock on Government property to perform the rehabilitation, or the gate may be set on a barge and transported to an appropriate off site location determined by the Contractor and approved by the Government. The gate is comprised of two main structural components. One component is a welded box truss that is approximately 110' long, 15 wide, and 15' tall. The other component is a vertically reinforced skin plate attached to the downstream side of the truss structure. The skin plate is approximately 110' long and 35' tall. The gate weighs approximately 250 tons. The rehabilitation of this gate will involve: ???? • Preparation of the work site (Top soil removal and gravel lay down area); If performing the work on Government property • Preparation of secondary parking / contractor laydown area • Disconnecting all operating machinery from gate • Lifting of gate from the lock using a marine based crane • Erecting a temporary containment structure around the gate if performing the work on Government property, or transporting the gate to the previously approved location. (a) Structural Items: • Removal of the existing cathodic protection system • Removal of the existing grating panels • Removal of the existing coating system (coating contains lead and abatement is required) • Ultrasonic testing of all existing welds • Repair of all welds that do not meet acceptance criteria • Replacement of any structural members identified by the government after the existing coating has been removed • Perform white metal blasting and coat the structure with the 5-E-Z Vinyl System • Provide and install new galvanized grating (b) Mechanical Items: • Fabricate and replace upstream emergency gate greased truss roller bushings (DWG Q9-30/5.3) with underwater greaseless bushings (Contract drawing to be provided once removed and dissembled) • Fabricate and replace upstream emergency gate greased sill roller bushings with underwater greaseless bushings (Contract drawing to be provided once removed and dissembled) • Disassemble and inspect wire rope IAW OSHA 1910.179 (m) • OPTION: Replace wire if conditions exceed OSHA 1910.179 (m) • REPLACE wire rope clamps and pins where corroded. • Disassemble and inspect hoist idler sheave assembly DWG Q9-31/7.3 to include sheave shaft (MK31/7-2) and bushing (MK 31/7-4) IAW with ASME B4.1. • OPTION: Replace/machine sheave shaft (MK31/7-2) and bushing (MK 31/7-4) if found out of tolerance IAW ASME B4.1. • MECHANICAL HYDRAULIC OPTION • Remove Emergency gate hydraulic dogging system DWG (Q9-31/8.3). • Purchase and install replacement hydraulic system IAW EN ISO 4413 to include but not limited to: • Replace 2x hydraulic cylinders • New HPU/reservoir type configuration with condensate heater and ISO filter requirements • Replace all 2" plumbing • Replace all valve with new ISO compliant valves. • Replace cylinder rod position indicator switches. • Replace cylinder rod sleeves and water seals • Replace embedded hydraulic pipe sleeves through walls with Link-Seal* (c) Deconstruct the temporary containment structure around the gate. • Setting the gate back in the lock chamber • Reattaching all operating machinery • Return the site back to original condition The contractor will be required to provide all plant, labor and materials to construct these features. *Please note that this description is subject to change. The anticipated NAICS code is 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, with a small business size standard of $36.5 million.
