- Lock 7 Tow Haulage Rail Clip Retrofit SCOPE OF WORK 1. GENERAL. The Contractor is responsible for supplying all plant, labor, and material required to fabricate and deliver the specified quantity of tow haulage rail clip plates and rail splice clips detailed in the attached drawing to Lock and Dam 7. 2.MATERIAL. All steel plate material shall conform to ASTM A572 Grade 50. 3. QUALITY CONTROL OF FABRICATED PARTS. The contractor is responsible for developing a quality control plan and implementing all necessary procedures to ensure all completed parts conform to the requirements defined in this scope of work. 4. MACHINE WORK. a. Dimensional Tolerances. Dimensions shall be measured by a calibrated steel tape of approximately the same temperature as the material being measured, or by use of a vernier caliper or micrometer as appropriate for the part being measured. The following general tolerances apply unless tolerances are specifically indicated: Members where dimension affects other tolerances: Both ends milled: +/- 1/32 inch Without milled ends: +/- 1/16 inch Machine Work: Machine-finished surfaces designated by non-decimal dimensions shall be within 1/64 inch. 5. COATING SYSTEM. a. Submit Paint system manufacturer's product data sheet for each type of paint used; for products that are specified to be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, submit the paint manufacturer's product data sheet or other written instructions for those products. b. Shop Cleaning and Painting Surface Preparation Blast clean surfaces in accordance with SSPC SP 5/NACE No. 1. The blast profile shall be 1.5 to 2.5 mils as measured by ASTM D4417, Method C. Appropriate abrasive blast media shall be used to produce the desired surface profile and to give an angular anchor tooth pattern. If recycled blast media is used, an appropriate particle size distribution shall be maintained so that the specified profile is consistently obtained. Steel shot or other abrasives that do not produce an angular profile shall not be used. Weld spatter not dislodged by blasting shall be removed with impact or grinding tools and the areas reblasted prior to painting. Surfaces shall be dry at the time of blasting. Wash cleaned surfaces which become contaminated with rust, dirt, oil, grease, or other contaminants with solvents until thoroughly clean. c. Coating System for Fabricated Tow Haulage Rail Clip Assembly Coating system number 23-C-Z shall be applied to the fabricated tow haulage rail clip assembly, except that the surface preparation shall be white metal blast cleaning. The coating system shall be applied according to the manufacturer's written instructions by the Contractor's painting facility. It shall be a 3-coat system. All materials shall be procured from the same coating manufacturer. The individual paints comprising the system shall have been tested and passed all the requirements of the applicable SSPC standards. SSPC Paint 36 shall be qualified to Accelerated Weathering Level 3 and shall be a semigloss urethane in a gray color that approximates color number 26231 of FED-STD-595. Application shall be by spray in accordance with the manufacturer's written instructions. Dry film thickness per coat shall be that recommended by the manufacturer. Application of the system in less than three coats shall not be accepted. The coatings shall be mixed and thinned in accordance with the manufacturers written directions. Coating material that has exceeded the manufacturer's pot life shall not be applied. Materials that have thickened appreciably shall not be applied. The manufacturer's recommendations for minimum and maximum dry time between coats shall be met. Areas of bubbling noted upon curing of any individual coat shall be removed by sanding or screening. The edges of the repaired areas shall be feathered and the coat reapplied to the repaired areas before a subsequent coat is applied. SURFACE PREPARATIONFIRST COATSECOND COATTHIRD COAT WHITE METAL BLAST CLEANINGSSPC PAINT 40 TYPE IISSPC PAINT 36 FINISH COLOR: GREYSSPC PAINT 36 FINISH COLOR: GREY AS NECESSARY FOR COMPLETE HIDING d.

The Contractor shall submit coating inspection reports. Coating Inspection Forms shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer prior to delivery of the coated work to the job site. 6. RAIL CLIP PLATE QUANTITY. 360 rail clips are required to be fabricated as detailed in the attached drawing and delivered to Lock and Dam 7 under this contract. 7. RAIL SPLICE CLIPS. a. Government Provided Die. The government shall deliver an appropriate length of the rail section that the Contractor will use to form the rail splice clips around as shown in the attached drawing. The rail segment will be delivered to the Contractor's facility within five business days of contract award. The rail segment will in turn be returned to Lock 7 as part of the rail clip and rail splice clip delivery. 8. RAIL SPLICE CLIP QUANTITY. 30 rail splice clips are required to be fabricated and delivered to Lock and Dam 7 under this contract. 9. RAIL CLIP PLATE PROTOTYPE. The rail clip plates are intended to fit an existing base plate. It is critical that the short slotted holes are positioned to fit the threaded rods welded to the existing base plates. A sample base plate will be provided to the contractor within five business days of contract award for use in test fitting in the shop by the contractor. The sample base plate shall be returned to the government at the completion of the contract. Four unpainted sample rail clip plates shall be provided to the government for test fitting at Lock 7 to ensure all dimensions are compatible with the existing base plate assembly components. Government approval of the prototype rail clip plates is required prior commencing fabrication of the quantity of rail clip plates specified in this scope of work. 10. SCHEDULE. The Contractor is required to fabricate and deliver all required rail clips and rail splice clips to Lock and Dam 7 no later than 45 calendar days after contract award. 11. GOVERNMENT TECHNICAL POINT OF CONTACT. The technical point of contact for this scope of work is: Mr. Jim Ulrick U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St. Paul District 180 5th Street East St. Paul, MN 55101 651.290.5639 James.R.Ulrick@usace.army.mil 12.
