The Bureau of Reclamation’s Mt. Elbert Pump Generating Plant is located in Twin Lakes, Colorado. There are two vehicle access gates: The Main Gate and the O&M Gate. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to research the replacement of the vehicle access gates.

The existing gates will be replaced with Hydraulic Vertical Tilt Away Pivot gates. The requirement will involve the removal, disposal, relocation and installation of the Main Gate and removal, disposal, and installation of the O&M Gate.

SUMMARY OF WORK:

Remove, Dispose and Installation of two (2) new hydraulic vertical pivot gates along with electrical components which meet the following minimum requirements:

(1) Tilt-A-Way (or equivalent) hydraulically operated vertical pivot gates.

(2) Designed for cold weather operation.

(3) Constraints of current system: Voltage: 480V-3ph-6 Hz; Full Load Amps: Dependent on specified breaker

(4) Include manufacturer’s standard safety devices.

(5) Both gates will require a new buried conduit to supply power and communication.

(6) Integrate with existing access control systems.

(7) The hydraulic system shall be designed to keep the gate locked in the closed position, keeping any person from lifting the gate open when it is in the closed position.

(8) Both gates will have a camera (furnished by the government) and be controllable from the facility Control Room and the Administrative Assistant’s desk.

Installer Qualifications: Firm approved by manufacturer or with minimum five years successful experience completing vertical pivot gate installation similar to that required.
