Title of Project: Rehabilitate Locks 1, 2, & 5 and Repair Georgetown Wall, Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park, CHOH 245002 & 287711

Description:

This project will rehabilitate canal Lift Locks 1 and 2 in Georgetown and the river, as well as the Inlet Lock 1 complex, which includes canal Lift Lock 5. Rehabilitation work will address critical elements. This project will replace lock gates, timber sills, and associated hardware. Necessary masonry repairs will be accomplished to stabilize the structures, including repointing work to regain water tightness. This also reconstructs several historic stone masonry retaining walls on Level 4 of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal located in Georgetown (Washington, D.C.). Many of these walls have privately owned and occupied structures on top or adjacent to them. This project will dismantle and rebuild the canal walls in selected areas to assure their structural integrity and in some cases the integrity of structures on and adjacent to them. Through wall drain systems will be added behind the reconstructed masonry walls to relieve hydrostatic pressure. Minor railing and hardscaped surfaces will be removed and reinstalled at the conclusion of the construction. The project will require temporary scaffolding and temporary support of excavation walls to execute the reconstruction. The canal prism will be de-watered for the duration of the project to facilitate site access. The canal prism will be restored at the conclusion of the project and re-watered.

Type of Procurement: It is anticipated that a negotiated firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and price proposal. The government will consider an offeror’s technical capability in comparison to its price.

Estimated Price Range: > $10 million - mandatory

Estimated Period of Performance: November 2022 – November 2024
