About this file

This file is a detailed specification document for the Powerhouse #1 Roof Repairs project at Fort Peck Dam, Montana. The project involves a comprehensive roof restoration that includes removing the existing roofing layers and replacing them with new materials while preserving the historical integrity of the structure. Specifically, the work encompasses removing existing Ludowici Provincial clay tiles, 15-pound asphalt-impregnated waterproof felt, and coal-tar pitch from the 2,500 square foot roof, which sits 272.48 feet above grade with an 8:12 slope.

The contract (Solicitation Number W9128F25BA002) requires replacing the clay tiles with matching Ludowici Provincial tiles in a red blend color, installing new copper flashings, and potentially replacing the asphaltic waterproofing. The project will maintain the existing 2-inch nailable precast concrete roof slabs, secured with new copper or stainless steel fasteners. The estimated construction magnitude is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, with the work to be performed at the Fort Peck Dam in Valley County, Montana. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District will manage the solicitation, which is expected to close on or about June 5, 2024, at 2:00 PM CT.
