- Description
- The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (Corporation) plans to issue an Invitation For Bids (IFB) for furnishing all plant, labor, equipment and materials and for performing all work for replacing the 1950’s vintage electromechanical operating machinery and control with hydraulic machinery and PLC’s to operate the filling and emptying valves at Eisenhower and Snell Locks in Massena, New York. The filling and emptying valves are reverse tainter valves and are approximately 15 feet x 15 feet and operate under a 43 foot differential head. The project is to replace the electromechanical equipment with one (1) hydraulic power unit for each valve; however each hydraulic power unit is sized to operate a miter gate leaf and ship arrestor equipment in the future. The work includes, but is not limited to demolition and placement of concrete; removal of existing components that are not being reused,and refurbishing of components that will become part of the new operating equipment; installation of the hydraulic power units, cylinders and piping; installation of wiring and making all required electrical connections; and installation of PLC’s, performing the programming to operate the new equipment and integrating these controls with the existing lock controls. Plans are to award a contract for replacement of the operating machinery and control for four (4) valves (one (1) filling and one (1) emptying valve at the north side of Eisenhower Lock and one (1) filling and one (1) emptying valve at the north side of Snell Lock) prior to September 30, 2009 with the on site portion of the work to be completed while the Seaway is closed to navigation during winter 2011, approximately between January 1, 2011 and March 15, 2011. It is critical that this timeframe be adhered to because failure of this equipment to operate on or before March 15, 2011, could cause the entire Seaway system to remain closed to navigation. The bid documents will include an optional requirement for award prior to September 30, 2011 for the operating machinery and controls for the remaining four (4) valves (the south side filling and emptying valves at Eisenhower and Snell Locks) with the work to be completed between January 1, 2012 and March 15, 2012 or January 1, 2013 and March 15, 2013, dependent upon when the optional requirement is awarded. The project cost range is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The applicable NAICS code is 237990 with a size standard of $33.5 M. Drawings are available on CD for $20.00 US funds or hard copy for $300.00 US funds. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) package will be issued approximately August 3, 2009 with a bid opening date on or about September 15, 2009. A firm fixed price contract shall be awarded. Mail your request for the IFB package along with the above fee to Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, Attn: Contracting Office, PO Box 520, 180 Andrews Street, Massena, New York 13662. All responsible sources may submit a bid which shall be considered by the Corporation. This procurement is subject to the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program and is open to both small and large business.

Attention: The Department of Transportation (DOT) Short Term Lending Program (STLP) offers financial assistance to eligible disadvantaged, Hubzone, or service disabled veteran owned businesses.
