17. Description: The general description of the work of this contract consists of furnishing all materials, equipment, labor, layouts of work features, and supervision needed to accomplish work related to lifting two (2) leaves of a new miter gate, moving them and installing them in the main chamber upper miter gate recesses at Meldahl Locks and Dam located at approximately mile marker 436 on the Ohio River. There is one (1) right leaf and one (1) left leaf. Each leaf is approximately 66-foot tall by 62-foot wide by 7-foot deep and weighs approximately 245 tons.

Both new miter gate leaves are currently stored in a horizontal position (lying flat). The right leaf is on the esplanade/grass approximately 400-foot downstream of the upper auxiliary chamber miter gate and no closer than 55-foot from the face of the lock wall. The left leaf is on a Government barge moored off in the harbor area behind the upper guide wall. Each of the new leaves have both a set of two (2) lifting lugs on the top (G-1) for lifting the leaves vertically and a set of four (4) lifting lugs on the downstream (open) side for lifting the leaves horizontally. These lugs were designed and installed by the fabrication contractor.

Each of the miter gate leaves will need to be rotated from the horizontal (flat) position to a vertical position with girder G-1 on top. The Contractor shall develop a plan for handling the turning the leaves. The Government has four (4) turning shoes, two of which can be mounted to the bottom horizontal girder at the intermediate diaphragms of each gate leaf to assist with rotating the leaves.

If the Contractor wishes to utilize these turning shoes they shall notify the Government thirty (30) days in advance of when they will be needed. The Contractor shall be responsible for installing on and removing the turning shoes from the miter gate leaves.

The miter gate leaves shall be placed in their respective recesses "in the dry". To accomplish this the Government will: (1) set the downstream emergency gate to hold back the upper pool; (2) place a stack of maintenance bulkhead units downstream of the miter gate recesses; (3) pump out the water between the emergency gate and maintenance bulkheads and (4) maintain the pumped out condition as long as river levels permit or the work is complete. This will create a dewatered area at the location where the miter gate leaves will be set on the pintles. The water elevation upstream of the dewatered area will be at upper pool and the water elevation downstream of the dewatered area will be at lower pool. The Contractor will need to lift the miter gate leaves either over the emergency gate on the upstream end or over the maintenance bulkhead units on the downstream end. While placing the gate leaves on the pintles, there will be no submerging of the gate leaves.

Once a miter gate leaf has been set on the pintle ball in the chamber, the Contractor shall hold the leaf in place to permit the Government to install the top miter gate anchorage. It may be necessary for the Contractor to make small adjustments to the location/alignment of the top of the gate leaf to assists in the installation of the miter gate top anchorage. After the miter gate top anchorage has been installed, the Contractor shall remove the lifting rigging from the leaf.
