NWD Crane Rehabilitation and Replacement

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Omaha established this Master IDIQ for crane rehabilitation and replacement work at Northwestern Division hydropower, navigation, and flood risk management facilities on March 4, 2019, with a shared ceiling of $99.9 million. The vehicle's ordering period closed on March 3, 2024, and is no longer accepting new task orders.

The vehicle is fully exhausted. Of the $99.9 million ceiling, task orders totaling $89.4 million in combined potential value have been awarded, with $86.5 million already obligated—97 percent of combined potential value. Eleven task orders were placed across a five-year active period, with ordering momentum concentrated in 2019 and 2020 (four orders each) and tapering sharply thereafter (one order per year in 2021, 2022, and 2023). The most recent award was issued August 28, 2023.

Work spans crane and hoist replacement and rehabilitation at specific facilities across the Columbia, Missouri, and Snake Rivers. Task orders include intake gantry crane replacements at Big Bend Dam and Fort Randall Dam (South Dakota), trashrake crane and rake upgrades across Lower Snake River dams, spillway monorail crane replacement at Oahe Dam, powerhouse and tailrace gantry crane rehabilitation at Libby and Dworshak dams (Idaho and Montana), lock and dam crane replacements at McNary Dam (Washington-Oregon), and emergency gate hoist replacement at Lower Monumental Dam (Washington). Individual task-order values range from approximately $1.2 million to $17.8 million, with most ceilings priced firm-fixed.

Competition concentrated among four primes. Reel COH Inc. holds the largest share by combined potential value at $43.2 million across three orders, followed by Garco Wemco A Joint Venture at $33.5 million across five orders. Crane Technologies Group, Inc. and Knight Const. & Supply, Inc. hold $7.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively. All task orders were unrestricted (no set-aside). Customer agencies include the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers ($39.7 million), Department of the Army ($35.6 million), and Department of Energy Bonneville Power Administration ($14.1 million).

This vehicle is closed to new ordering and functionally exhausted. Pursuit is not viable.

The scope of project work associated with this Master IDIQ involves construction, rehabilitation and replacement of cranes, hoists and lifting devices. Work will consist of design-build (D-B)/design-bid-build (D-B-B) projects at hydropower, navigation, and flood risk management facilities located within the Northwestern Division's (NWD) Civil Works Area of Responsibility.
