Project Description. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, has a requirement to perform Personnel Safety Improvements located at Bonneville Dam First Powerhouse, located near Cascade Locks, OR. The current access in the attic to service electrical and mechanical installations is limited by the existing catwalk placement. The existing catwalks were constructed with a low top guardrail and no intermediate guardrail which does not comply with the current International Building Code (IBC) and federal regulations. The governing code requires a top guardrail height of 42 inches and an intermediate guardrail height, such that a 21 inch diameter maximum sphere cannot pass-through. Currently, there is no intermediate guardrail. The installation of additional catwalk branches provide access to required /needed locations and will allow efficient and safe use by personnel to perform maintenance tasks. Construction will be accomplished by staging pre-assembled catwalk sections, guardrail extension sections, beams and miscellaneous metals at selected locations on mobile platforms on the powerhouse floor. Construction elements will be lifted into the attic through the existing ceiling access panel ‘trap door'. Allowance for improving the material handling system at the "trap door" has been included in the project with a Bonneville Dam First Powerhouse (BN1) Personnel Safety Improvements trolley beam, hoist, and extension to deliver lifted items to the floor grating level and roof truss lower chord. Additional floor grating will be provided around the trap door to create a larger material handling area. Additional floor grating will also be provided in areas where plywood has been placed by the Bonneville maintenance team. This will provide the contractor additional work space and tool storage. The grating will be left in place for use by the Bonneville maintenance team after construction. Construction will be accomplished with bolted and clamped connections. No steel welding or burning will be done in the attic. Steel cutting will be accomplished mechanically in the attic on existing catwalk framing only where necessary. Lead paint safety provisions will be addressed in the technical specifications. New catwalk support beams, longer than 12' will be placed by splicing two structural members. This will assist in material handling and distribution while allowing safer construction in the attic. Contract duration is estimated at 240 calendar days. The estimated Magnitude of Construction for this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. 4. Submission Instructions.
