About this file
This document is a comprehensive set of technical specifications for the Philpott Dam Anchors and Instrumentation Construction project, a civil engineering contract for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District. The project involves installing spillway anchors, automated anchor load sensors, inclinometers in specific dam monoliths, and automating crack gauges and piezometers at the Philpott Lake Dam in Henry and Franklin Counties, Virginia.
The specifications detail technical requirements for core drilling, concrete rehabilitation, metal fabrications, electrical systems, and instrumentation work. Key elements include installing 786 linear feet of spillway anchors, 6 anchor load cells (both vibrating wire and electromagnetic), 2 inclinometers, multiple piezometer conversions, and associated electrical infrastructure like a remote monitoring unit (RMU) and remote I/O cabinets. The project aims to enhance the dam's structural monitoring capabilities, with work to be performed in a manner that maintains dam operational status throughout construction. An industry day meeting is scheduled for 21 January 2026 at the Philpott Lake Visitor Center, with draft solicitation documents available for review.

02/24
PART 1 GENERAL
1.1 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
1.1.1 Project Description
The work includes installation of spillway anchors and automated anchor load sensors. Also included are installation of inclinometers in monoliths 9 and 13 and automation of crack gauges and piezometers, and incidental related work.
1.1.2 Location
The work is located at the Philpott Lake Dam in Henry and Franklin Counties, Virginia which is approximately 7 miles north of Bassett, Virginia, as indicated on the drawings.
1.2 OCCUPANCY OF PREMISES
Dam will remain operational during performance of work under this Contract.
Before work is started, arrange with the Contracting Officer a sequence of procedure, means of access, space for storage of materials and equipment, and use of approaches, corridors, and stairways.
1.3 EXISTING WORK
Remove or alter existing work in such a manner as to prevent injury or damage to any portions of the existing work which remain.
Repair or replace portions of existing work which have been altered during construction operations to match existing or adjoining work, as approved by the Contracting Officer. At the completion of operations, affected existing work must be in a condition equal to or better than that which existed before new work started.
1.4 LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND UTILITIES
Obtain digging permits prior to start of excavation, and comply with installation requirements for locating and marking underground utilities.
Contact local utility locating service a minimum of 48 hours prior to excavating, to mark utilities, and within sufficient time required if work occurs on a Monday or after a holiday. Verify existing utility locations indicated on contract drawings, within area of work.
Identify and mark all other utilities not managed and located by the local utility companies. Scan the construction site with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), electromagnetic, or sonic equipment, and mark the surface of the ground or paved surface where existing underground utilities or utilities encased in dam structures are discovered. Verify the elevations of existing piping, utilities,and any type of underground or encased obstruction not indicated, or specified to be removed, that is indicated or discovered during scanning, in locations to be traversed by piping, SECTION 01 11 00 Page 1 ducts, and other work to be conducted or installed. Verify elevations before installing new work closer than nearest manhole or other structure at which an adjustment in grade can be made.
1.4.1 Notification Prior to Excavation
Notify the Contracting Officer at least 48 hours prior to starting excavation work.
1.5 SALVAGE MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT
Items designated by the Contracting Officer to be salvaged remain the property of the Government. Segregate, itemize, deliver and off-load the salvaged property at a location designated by the Government.
Maintain a list of material and equipment to be salvaged, and their storage location. Maintain property control records for material or equipment designated as salvage. Provide a system for property control in the salvage plan. Store and protect salvaged materials and equipment until disposition by the Contracting Officer.
1.6 LAKE OPERATION INFORMATION
Philpott Lake operation information is discussed in the Water Control Plan for Philpott Lake dated June 1992 (minor editorial changes March 2004):
https://epec.saw.usace.army.mil>PhilpottWCP.pdf
In summary, Philpott Dam is operated to maintain the lake level at, or near, the guide curve elevation. The guide curve is at elevation 970.8 feet NAVD88 from October through January and at elevation 972.8 feet NAVD88 from April through July. The guide curve varies linearly between the two limits from February through March and from August through September.
The latest information including Project Description, Pertinent Data, Daily Operating Log Files, Daily Reservoir Reports, Projected Lake Levels during Flood Events, Recent Elevation and Flow Information, and Historic Lake Elevation, Inflow and Outflow data are provided on the following website:
https://epec.saw.usace.army.mil/roanphil.htm
The hydrograph of the daily mean lake elevation data is provided on Attachment A.
The Philpott Pool Elevation Duration Curve is provided on Attachment B.
The equipment in the lake may need to be removed if the lake is forecast to rise significantly with an uncontrolled release from the spillway.
The Contractor will need to establish the maximum working lake level for equipment and the necessary lead time to receive notice to evacuate equipment.
The Contractor shall submit the above information in the Construction Site Plan ( 01 50 00 TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION FACILITIES AND CONTROLS, paragraph

a. Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) will provide the Contractor a copy of the Red Zone Checklist template.
b. Prior to 75 percent completion, modify the Red Zone Checklist template by adding or deleting critical activities applicable to the project and assign planned completion dates for each activity. Submit the modified Red Zone Checklist to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer may request additional activities be added to the Red Zone Checklist at any time as necessary.
1.9.2 Meetings
a. Conduct regular Red Zone Meetings beginning at approximately 75 percent project completion, or three to six months prior to Beneficial Occupancy Date (BOD), whichever comes first.
b. The Contracting Officer will establish the frequency of the meetings, which is expected to increase as the project completion draws nearer.
At the beginning, Red Zone meetings may be every two weeks then increase to weekly towards the final month of the project.
c. Using the Red Zone Checklist as a Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM) and basis for discussion, review upcoming critical activities and strategies to ensure work is completed on time.
d. During the Red Zone Meetings discuss with the COTR any upcoming activities that require Government involvement.
e. Maintain the Red Zone Checklist by documenting the actual completion dates as work is completed and update the Red Zone Checklist with revised planned completion dates as necessary to match progress.
Distribute copies of the current Red Zone Checklist to attendees at each Red Zone Meeting.
1.10 EXPORT LICENSES FOR OVERSEAS PROJECTS
