Project Description:

The work includes modification of the dewatering cofferboxes, underwater modification of the miter gate sills, installation of bulkhead recesses on both the downstream end and the upstream end of the main lock chamber at Norrell Lock and Dam. The recesses will be installed at a location to allow the modified stoplog sill to function as a bearing/sealing surface for the existing

110' bulkheads from Montgomery Point Lock that are currently in the Little Rock District's HSS inventory. In USACE, the terms "stoplog" and "bulkhead" are used interchangeably to describe the same type of dewatering structure. For the purposes of this project, "stoplog" will be used to describe existing conditions since that is the term used on the original construction drawings and

"bulkhead" will be used to describe the new work. Also included in the work is modifications to

Government provided cofferboxes which are available at the Marine Terminal.

Dam is about 9 miles southeast of Tichnor, Arkansas, in the southeast corner of the state. GPS coordinates are Latitude: 34°01'10"N and Longitude: 91°11'40"W.

The nearest lodging and grocery would be in Dewitt, AR (26.6 miles) or Dumas, AR (40.4 miles). There are multiple RV parks in the area with Tree Rivers Lodging and RV being the closest at 3.5 miles upstream. This is an extremely isolated site with limited cell reception. The nearest hardware store is Berry’s true value in Dumas, AR which is 40.8 miles from the work site. Additionally, the lock will be closed to traffic during specific construction activities, this will mean that marine deliveries will be restricted or unavailable for extended periods.

Small Businesses participants are reminded under FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting

(Deviation 2020-O0008) that they will not pay more than 85 percent of the amount paid by the

Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count toward the 85 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded” for general construction-type procurement.

Should the acquisition be set-aside for the 8(a) program, 8(a) firms are reminded they need to have a bona fide office in the geographical area of consideration where the work is to be performed as determined by SBA.
