STATEMENT OF WORK

C000 GENERAL

C001 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has issued this solicitation, for the procurement and installation of a new barge hauling winch and foundation, and relocation of the existing winch, and incorporate modifications to the winch foundation to include modifications to the winch foundations. The new winch will be used to position a wicket lifter barge across the face of a wicket dam servicing Lock and Dam 52 on the Ohio River system, in USACE Louisville District.

C002 PRE-PROPOSAL INSPECTION

Two pre-proposal inspections will be held to allow all prospective offerors an opportunity to inspect the barge.

While attendance at an inspection is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended that prospective offerors inspect the winch and barge during one of these two sessions.

The pre-proposal inspections will be held on Tuesday, November 17 and Wednesday, November 18, 2015 at 9:00 AM CDT in Brookport, Illinois. Representatives of prospective offerors wishing to attend should contact Brian Holcomb at (502) 315-6702 for the specifics of the exact location and the on-site point of contact.

During the pre-proposal inspection, offerors will be allowed unencumbered access to the barge. Representatives of the Government will be available, but only to the extent necessary to escort offerors and assist with access to the barge. Government Representatives will not discuss the scope of the work or make any technical clarifications or interpretations.

After the inspection, offerors shall submit all questions on items discovered via e-mail to the contract specialist listed as the primary point of contract in the solicitation. The Government will prepare answers to all questions received. These answers will be posted as an amendment to the solicitation to allow all offerors an opportunity to review the questions received and any associated revisions to the solicitation.

C003 DESIGN STANDARDS

The winch, winch foundations, controls, and associated equipment shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the latest edition and interpretations of the rules, regulations, requirements and standards of the Legislation, Regulatory Agencies and technical organizations listed below. The contractor is required to incorporate into the barge any revisions to the rules and regulations listed below as well as those stipulated in the respective specification clauses.

B. GENERAL

Suitable foundations for the new and existing winches shall be furnished and installed to distribute the loads to the structure, and to avoid undue stresses and vibrations in the hull. The contractor shall provide all labor, material, and equipment to remove the existing foundation for the existing winch. Additionally, the contractor shall furnish all labor, material, and equipment to install the new foundations.

The reference drawings in paragraph A above provide details for the existing foundation and also identify the general area for the installation of the new foundations.

The contractor is not responsible for developing the design of the foundations for the new and relocated winches.

Following contract award, and receipt of all technical documents from the contractor, the Government will develop a detailed foundation design and provide it to the contractor.

For bidding purposes, because the foundation design relies on the new winch procured and thus cannot be designed before the winch is selected, the contractor shall assume for bidding purposes, that the two new foundations will be of similar design to the current foundation for the existing winch. After completion of the design, any changes in scope will be handled through contract modification.

C. EXISTING FOUNDATION

The contractor shall be responsible for removing and scrapping the existing foundation for the current winch (Wintech Model DP25000-50).

D. NEW FOUNDATIONS

The contractor shall be responsible for fabricating and installing two (2) new steel foundations. The first foundation shall be installed at the existing foundation location for installation of the new winch. The second foundation shall be installed at a forward location of the barge specified by the Government, for relocation of the current winch (Wintech Model DP25000-50).

All equipment and machinery shall be leveled with chock-fast and bolted to foundations to facilitate ease of removal for repair. Winch gears shall be aligned in accordance with winch manufacturer’s specifications. Welding of equipment or machinery to foundations is not acceptable.

Foundation members shall be lightened and openings provided to permit access to all parts of the foundation for inspection, drainage, and maintenance. All corners shall be ground smooth.
