Consolidation of Tainter Valve Repairs REDACTED.pdf

This is a Consolidation of Contract Requirements Determination document from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Tulsa District for tainter valve repairs at three Oklahoma locations: Newt Graham Lock and Dam, Chouteau Lock and Dam, and W.D. Mayo Lock and Dam. The document, submitted December 2024, justifies consolidating these repairs into a single contract rather than three separate contracts.

The work involves maintenance and repair of two 12' x 12' filling valves and two 12' x 12' emptying valves at each location, including pulling valves for repair, blasting, painting, and reinstallation. The project will be a firm-fixed-price (FFP) C-type contract under NAICS code 237990, set aside 100% for small businesses. A market research effort including a DSBS search on November 19, 2024, identified 23 capable small businesses, and a Sources Sought notice published March 6, 2024 received four responses, with three qualifying small businesses. The contract is projected for award in April 2025. The consolidation is justified based on cost savings through elimination of duplicate mobilization/demobilization costs and administrative efficiencies, while still maintaining full small business participation.
