- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing a Sources Sought Announcement for a construction project for Upgrades to the Electro-Mechanical Control System at the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier, Providence, Rhode Island to determine the interest, availability, and capability of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, 8A, HUBZone, Small Business and Large Business concerns as described below. The NAICS code for this procurement is 238. The estimated construction cost is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The project is planned to be issued on or about 1 July 2010 and the contract performance period is 12 months. Fox Point Hurricane Barrier is a 700-foot long concrete barrier and includes a pump station with five 4,500hp pumps and three 40-foot by 40-foot tainter gates. The project also includes 2,200 feet of dikes. Fox Point provides protection to tens of thousands of residents and $5 billion worth of property. Lately, the operation of the pumps at the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier has become unreliable due to an antiquated control system. It is imperative that we restore the reliability of this critical project as soon as possible. The purpose of this work is to improve station service reliability and provide a modern, up-to-date system. The following electrical upgrades are currently under design. The construction contract will include the following: * Replacement of existing 4160V switchgear and relays with vacuum breaker switchgear and digital multifunction protection relays. Remote breaker racking to be included; * Relocation/replacement of existing pump and gate controllers and replacement of annunciator relay system with a digital Programmable Logic Controller (PLC); * Replacement and relocation of existing pump station battery system used to trip the 4160V breakers; * Replacement of 5KV power cables from each of five 4500 hp electric pumps to the switchgear; * Diagnosis/repairs to the nitrogen cooling system on 11KV electric transformers; * ARC Flash Hazard analysis, testing, certification; Interested firms should submit a capabilities package to include the following: business classification (i.e. HUBZone, etc.); bonding capacity, qualifications and experience in performing the high voltage work requirements stated above; and proof of capability of completing projects of this type given tight time constraints. Please include a example of the firms experience with this type of construction and coordination. Responses are due May 12, 2010. Responses should be addressed to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, 696 Virginia Road, Concord, MA 01742-2751, ATTN: Brad Schweitzer. Responses are limited to twenty pages.
