Statement of Work (SOW)

Maintenance Base and Locks Vehicle Gate Replacement

1. Background Information:

The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (GLS) is a wholly owned U.S.

Government corporation within the U.S. Department of Transportation. GLS operates and maintains the U.S. portion of the St. Lawrence Seaway between Lake Ontario and Montreal, Quebec.

GLS maintains multiple vehicle access gates at Eisenhower and Snell Locks that provide controlled access to lock facilities, operational areas, and maintenance zones. Several existing vehicle gates have reached the end of their service life and require replacement to maintain security, operational reliability, and safety.

GLS requires removal and replacement of eight (8) existing vehicle gate systems with new, fully functional, automatic horizontal cantilever sliding gate and operator systems that meet current safety, operational, and performance requirements.

2. Mission/Purpose

GLS is seeking a qualified contractor to remove and replace existing vehicle gate systems at

Eisenhower and Snell Locks with new, fully functional, automatic horizontal cantilever sliding gate and operator systems that meet current safety, operational, and performance requirements.

3. Scope:

The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, tools, supervision, and incidentals necessary to remove existing horizontal sliding gates and associated components and furnish and install eight (8) new horizontal sliding gate systems, including gates, operators, controls, safety devices, electrical components, and accessories.

The work includes:

Field verification of existing conditions, dimensions, and utility connections for each gate location

Removal and proper disposal of existing gates, operators, controls, and associated hardware

Design, fabrication, and installation of eight (8) new horizontal cantilever sliding gates

Installation of new automatic gate operator systems with all required safety, control, and detection devices

Electrical connections, testing, and commissioning

Training, documentation, and closeout submittals

Gate replacement locations include:

Lock Gate Number Gate Opening Size (ft)

Maintenance Base M1 24’ 4”

Eisenhower E1 24’

Eisenhower E2 23’

Eisenhower E3 30’

Eisenhower E4 16’

Snell S1 24’

Snell S2 18’

Snell S4 20’

The Contractor shall be responsible for all site verification, coordination, and adjustments necessary to ensure proper fit and operation of each installed system.

The Contractor shall provide on-site training to Government personnel on operation, safety features, and routine maintenance of the gate systems.

The Contractor shall perform full system commissioning including functional testing of all mechanical, electrical, and safety components.

4. Technical Requirements

The installed systems shall meet or exceed the following requirements. Equivalent systems are acceptable provided they meet all stated performance requirements. See attached print SLS-
