On or around 16 April, the Omaha district will advertise a Best Value Design-Build Request for Proposal project valued from approximately $7.5 to $10M. Work shall include the complete rehabilitation of steel tainter gates at Garrison Dam, North Dakota. There are 28 gates that measure 40 feet wide by 29 feet high. Work shall include but not be limited to: visual Hydraulic Steel Structure (HSS) inspection of stoplogs and tainter gates, 3-D modeling and analysis utilizing STAAD.Pro software, non-destructive testing, structural repair design, welding (per AWS D1.5M/D1.5), corrosion repair, sandblasting, lead-based paint removal over/near water, wire rope replacement, concrete spall repair, gate seal replacement, concrete construction joint material replacement, cathodic protection removal and installation, design and replacement of hoist controls and switches, bubbler system rehabilitation, localized dredging and certified diving. This work may be subcontracted out to other specialty contractors, as required. The rehabilitation of the existing underwater bubbler system piping directly upstream of the spillway gates is required in this contract. The majority of the bubbler system rehabilitation work will be performed underwater and will require certified divers to perform this work. A separate dredging contract will be awarded (not through this contract), however, removal of sediment prior to the start of the bubbler system rehabilitation may be required. The Garrison project office has one set of spillway stoplogs (18 total measuring 3 feet high by 42 feet wide). Typically, due to water elevations, only one, maybe two gates can be isolated at one time. Therefore, work shall be sequenced to be performed while the stoplogs are in place. The contractor shall have the option of fabricating temporary stoplog structures and/or working multiple shifts. The spillway stoplog slots have accumulated a significant amount of sediment. In order to seat the stoplogs, this contract will require localized dredging of the stoplog slots and sill. Dredging shall be accomplished via water jetting, excavation or other approved methods and properly dispose of the collected sediment. A certified diver is required to verify dredging operations have been effective enough to properly seat the stoplogs. Painting work shall include sandblasting spillway gates and associated features to commercial blast, preparing the final surface to SSPC 5 (white metal) and final coating the gates with a vinyl (5-E-Z) coating system with a zinc primer. Work may require the use of scaffolding, snooper crane and harness access. Contractor shall be responsible for dewatering, if required. There will be approximately 1120 square feet of paint required per side per gate with additional quantities for other related features. Taking gates off-site is prohibited. Work may require torch cutting and grinding of new holes for drainage including a structural analysis for altering the gate. Experience in design/analysis of Hydraulic Steel Structures (HSS) is required. Inspection of the structural integrity of the structural members of the gates, including the skin, will be required. Analysis and design of structural repairs and/or replacement of structural members that have been damaged, or severely corroded, may be required. The painting of the gate and associated features is considered the most critical aspect of this project. Contractors will be required to show successful completion of similar projects utilizing 5-E-Z vinyl painting system. Contractors shall have QP-1 and QP-2 Contractor Certifications. Painting qualifications may be amended at a later date. Coating contractor shall be required to hire an independent third party inspector that is NACE-CIP 3, PCS or SSPC-PCI 3 certified. Confined spaces may be a consideration. Please note: Other contractors may be performing work simultaneously in the same general vicinity of the gate work. Contractors will be required to coordinate with other contractors and dam personnel. The estimated construction cost of this project is between $7,500,000 and $10,000,000. ___________________________________________________________________________ The Contractor will be required to commence work within 10 days after notice to proceed and complete the work 1080 calendar days after receipt of Notice to Proceed. Provisions will be included for liquidated damages in case of failure to complete the work in the time allowed. Performance and payment bonds will be required. Bonding documents including the power of attorney shall bear an original signature by an officer of the surety.
