This announcement is to determine interest, availability, and capability of Small and Large Business concerns for this project. The NAICS code for this procurement is 237310. The project is planned to be issued in the summer of 2021 with construction to take place during the fall and winter months. The estimated construction cost is between $250,000.00 and $,500,000.00. The Vertical Lift Railroad Bridge is one of three Cape Cod Canal crossings and carries a single track of the Massachusetts Coastal Railroad across the Cape Cod Canal in the neighborhood of Buzzards Bay in Massachusetts. The bridge, constructed in 1935 under the direction of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, is a three-span bridge with one main lift span which is flanked by a tower/approach span at each end. The spans are designated as the south approach span, lift span and north approach span from south to north. The substructure is labeled abutment A, pier B, pier C and abutment D from south to north. The total length of the bridge is 806 feet from center-to-center of abutment bearings and supports a single railroad track on an open timber tie deck. All spans are composed of riveted steel through trusses. The main lift span is 544 feet, center-to-center of live load bearings. The Mass Coastal Railroad utilizes the bridge to haul waste from Cape Cod typically six days a week. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) provides passenger rail service (the Cape Flyer) on weekends during the summer months from Boston to Hyannis. The passenger train requires the vertical lift bridge to operate six times per week from June to September. The following items to be included in the design package: Replacement of lower span lock/gear box assembly on the North and South piers. Replacement of the existing 5HP, 3Ø, 460V lower span lock motor on both the North and South Piers and replacement of the existing motor disconnect switch.
