PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

STEEL STOPLOGS AND LIFTING BEAM

SERVICES - RECEIVE, UNLOAD, INSTALL AND STORE

FOLSOM DAM, CALIFORNIA

1 GENERAL.

This is a services contract to install newly furnished steel stoplogs (a type of bulkhead, see Section 2 for definitions) for use for Folsom Dam construction dewatering activities.

The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services except for on-site installation and testing. The

Contractor, including subcontractors, is accountable for performance, and is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services. The Contractor will provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personnel services necessary to receive, temporarily store, install and fit-test stoplog in existing gate guides slots as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor will perform to the standards in this PWS. All applicable technical manuals, forms, publications, bulletins, directives, specifications, standards, and field procedures guides must be utilized and will be provided, if requested. When a publication provided by the

Government is subsequently revised, supplemented, replaced or rescinded, the

Contractor, upon notification or receipt of it, must comply. The Contractor must correct any Contractor discrepancies noted as authorized by United States Army Corps of

Engineers (USACE), Sacramento District (SPK).

1.2 Background. Folsom Dam and Reservoir are located downstream from the confluence of the north and south forks of the American River located just north of the city of Folsom and about 20 miles northeast of Sacramento. Folsom Reservoir has a capacity of 977,000 acre-feet with a surface area of 11,450 acres at maximum normal water surface elevation.

USACE constructed Folsom Dam and associated and transferred it to the U.S. Bureau of

Reclamation (Reclamation). Construction of the dam was completed in May 1956. For flood flow releases, Folsom Dam has five (5) service radial (Tainter) gates and three (3) emergency release Tainter gates. All gates are approximately the same width and length, and similar heights allowing for six (6) modular stoplog configurations to form one (1) bulkhead that can be used interchangeably.

The Folsom Dam Raise project includes an auxiliary spillway, a 3.5-foot dam raise, raising the reservoir dikes, and ecosystem restoration projects.

To perform Folsom Dam Raise construction activities at the Main Dam portion, stoplogs are required to isolate lake water from the construction zone at the Tainter gates. The newly fabricated stoplogs will fit in the existing gate guide slots but have not been installed yet.

To ensure the delivered stoplogs and lifting beam are immediately available to the future construction contractor, the stoplogs need to be fit tested in gate slots. The lifting beam and stoplogs are designed for installation with an existing 140-ton gantry crane on Folsom Dam or using a mobile crane. This contract only uses mobile crane(s) for installation.

See Attachment 3 Figures and Photos of site location and site conditions. See Attachment 4

Drawings for Stoplogs storage locations and approved haul routes and contractor staging areas.

The lifting beam and stoplogs will be delivered in sets of three delivery vehicles ranging from 1 to 3 days apart to receive on site. Coordination with occur with the fabricator and the

Contracting Officer with advanced notice for planning purposes. A total of six stoplogs and one lifting beam will be received. Four options can also be awarded: Option 1 perform seal testing of installed bulkhead, Option 2 receive the second set of six stoplogs, Option 3 receive the third set of six stoplogs, and Option 4 prepare field modifications plan and perform repairs to damaged members.

1.3 Objectives. Verify new stoplogs will adequately fit in existing stoplog guides for future construction work.

1.4 Scope. Services include remove existing stoplogs from existing dam-face storage and removal of material offsite, receive new lifting beam and stoplog from fabricator shipments, off-loading fabricator shipment, temporarily store material onsite, and field installation. Options may be awarded for multiple mobilizations and perform stoplog seal testing.

The stoplogs and lifting beam are made of welded built-up steel plate members measuring 49.75 feet long, 10 feet tall, and fit between the existing gate guides. One (1) stoplog assembly (bulkhead) includes six (6) stoplog sections.

Refer to Attachments for figures and photos of existing stoplogs for disposal, newly fabricated stoplog design drawings, specifications for contract administration, materials, and workmanship, and 10-year historical seasonal water surface elevation of Folsom

Reservoir, and required Reclamation’s Central California Area Office (CCAO) Permit to

Work form.

1.5 Period of Performance. Period of performance is 9 months for the base task, up to three

(3) 9 months for option tasks 1-3, and up to 3 months for option task 4. The Performance

Period reads as follows:

Base Task Receive, Unload and Store six (6) Stoplogs and one(1) lifting beam

(Shipment 1)

Option Task 1 Test Leakage on Installed Bulkhead (Shipment 1)

Option Task 2 Receive, Unload and Store six (6) Stoplogs (Shipment 2)

Option Task 3 Receive, Unload and Store six (6) Stoplogs (Shipment 3)

Option Task 4 Field Repair Plan

Estimated duration of the onsite work is 60 calendar days for six (6) stoplog sections and one (1) lifting beam offloading, temporary storage, fit testing, and complete bulkhead installation. The Contractor is not required to work on federal holiday and will notify the

Government 72 hours in advance if on-site holiday work is planned.

2 DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS.

2.1 DEFINITIONS.

2.1.1 BULKHEAD. Bulkhead gates are hydraulic structures intended to hold water back from a specific area. These are often used in dam gate structures, where a single structure is used for dewatering purposes. For this contract, six (6) stoplog sections form one (1) bulkhead. Refer to definition of STOPLOG for additional information of differences.

2.1.2 CONTRACTING OFFICER. A person with authority to enter into, administer, and or terminate contracts, and make related determinations and findings on behalf of the

Government. Note. The only individual who can legally bind the Government.

2.1.3 CONTRACTING OFFICER'S REPRESENTATIVE. An employee of the U.S.

Government appointed by the Contracting Officer to administer the contract. This individual has authority to provide technical direction to the Contractor as long as that direction is within the scope of the contract, does not constitute a change, and has no funding implications. This individual does NOT have authority to change the terms and conditions of the contract.

2.1.4 DELIVERABLE. Anything that can be physically delivered but may include non-manufactured things such as meeting minutes or reports.

2.1.5 QUALITY ASSURANCE. The Government procedures to verify that services being performed by the Contractor are performed according to acceptable standards.

2.1.6 QUALITY CONTROL. All necessary measures taken by the Contractor to assure that the quality of an end product or service must meet contract requirements.

2.1.7 STOPLOG. Stoplogs are a type of bulkhead gate. Stoplogs are used in sets for temporary closure for openings on various types of hydraulic structures. Stoplogs are used when the size of the gate is restricted by weight or high hook limitations, or when the opening is too large for one gate. Each stoplog is installed in vertical guides or slots, with each subsequent stoplog stacked on the previous stoplog. The terms stoplog and bulkhead are often used interchangeably.

2.1.8 TAINTER GATE. A type of radial gate where a curved skin plate is mounted on radial arms that rotate vertically on trunnions anchored to the piers. Spillway flow is regulated by raising or lowering the gate to adjust the discharge under the gate.
