Description

This solicitation is amended to delete the 100% small business set-aside and provide for unrestricted, full and open competition. The US Army Corps of Engineers intends to procure a new intake deck gantry crane for Bonneville First Powerhouse at Bonneville Lock and Dam. The intent is to make an award to the offeror whose proposal, conforming to the RFP, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other fators considered. Bonneville Lock and Dam is located on the Columbia River near Cascade Locks, Oregon. Work under this contract requires the design, fabrication, and F.O.B. delivery of one (1) complete 480-ton intake deck gantry crane. The gantry frame measures approximately 91 feet long x 84 feet high x 35 feet deep, 56 feet deep including cantilever, and runs on an existing rail spacing of 25 feet. The gantry has three independent main trolleys with 160-ton hoists each, with one of the main trolleys having an additional 7.5 and 10-ton hoists. The crane also has an auxiliary trolley that is mounted on a cantilever frame that has two 15-ton hoists. On the top of the gantry is a hammerhead crane with a 60-foot boom with two hooks of 10 and 5-ton capacity. Additionally the contract will include the design, fabrication, and installation of a conductor-collector power supply and a diesel generator set for emergency power to the crane. The specification requires the contractor to dismantle and remove the existing 70-year-old gantry crane. The performance period will be for a three-year period. The new crane shall be operational in August 2003. The existing gantry crane will be dismantled in April 2004. The Solicitation will be available on or about October 18, 2001 on CD-ROM only. Plans and specifications will not be provided in a paper hardcopy format. Interested firms are encouraged to request a copy of the solicitation by registering on our website at www.nwp,usace.army.mil. Technical questions may be addressed to Ron Wridge at (503) 808-4927. Administrative questions may be submitted via email to david.b.thatcher@usace.army.mil. Contractors shall be registered in the Centeral Contractor's Registration (CCR) database to be eligible for award. Award will not be made unless CCR registration can be verified. **NAICS 333932 and FSC 3810**
