U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS

MANATEE PROTECTION SYSTEM OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE CONTRACT

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL:

This is a non-personal multiple year service contract to provide maintenance, repair, and upgrades to the Manatee Protection Systems (MPS) at Lock and Dam facilities within the USACE Jacksonville District located through-out Central South Florida. The intent of the MPS is to prevent manatees from becoming trapped or crushed within the lock chamber gates dam/spillway gates. This is accomplished by multiple means (1) MPS electromechanical acoustical transmitting and receiving sensor arrays on toe/nose of the lock gates (2) MPS exclusion screens that exist on the structural steel at the lower section and below the waterline of the lock gates at each lock on all four gates in the interior of the lock chamber, providing preventative measures of a manatees ability to navigate inside the sector gates becoming trapped or being crushed. (3) WP Franklin Spillway is equipped with a MPS PED (Piezoelectric Element Detection) sensor system consisting of fabricated mounting brackets with a polyurethane casting that contains sensors that detect a pre-determined pressure setting transmitting the data through an integrated electronic system that will stop the vertical lift gates from closing, automatically prompting the controls to raise the gate to a safe passage position. These PED sensors are located upstream and downstream of each of the eight spillway gates.

(4) The St. Lucie and Ortona spillways contain structural steel MPS screens that are located on the upstream side of the spillway gates, they consist of independent screens that are installed inside of structural frames. The six Locks and/or Dams are Canaveral Lock, St. Lucie Lock & Dam, Port Mayaca Lock & Dam, Julian Keen Jr. Lock & Dam, Ortona Lock & Dam and W.P. Franklin Lock & Dam. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction:

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and services necessary to perform MPS maintenance, repairs, and upgrades as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2. Background:

The six lock structures are equipped with MPS systems that provide automated gate controls to the gate operation mechanisms to control the gates while they are closing. As the lock gates are closing, acoustical transmitters and receiving arrays are monitoring for the presence of obstructions such as manatees through acoustical signal interruption caused when a manatee passes through the space between gate noses. When the signal is interrupted, the MPS stops the closure of the gate automatically and waits for the signal to be restored, indicating the Manatee has safely passed through the gates. Two of the Dams - St. Lucie & Ortona are equipped with fabricated steel screens and/or fabricated steel frames that are designed to hold fabricated steel screens. W.P. Franklin Dam is equipped with an MPS (PED) sensors (Piezoelectric Element Detection) system that is automated and integrated into the central control lock building. It is designed so during closure of the vertical lift gates, electronic transmitters and signal receiving equipment are monitoring for the presence of manatees through pressure signals. These signals are created when a gate closure is attempted, and a manatee is in the space between the bottom of the gate and the concrete floor. When the signal receives a pre-determined amount of poundage pressure of interference (currently set at sixteen), the MPS stops the closure of the vertical lift gate automatically, raises back to a pre-determined height gap (currently four-foot) and waits for manual intervention of a re-attempted gate closure. This action will indicate and confirm the manatee, or obstruction has safely passed through the vertical lift gates.

The MPS is an electronic, digital, and mechanical system that requires expertise in multiple disciplines to understand the interaction and functionality of all components and to successfully maintain the system. The designed operation and performance of the MPS is dependent on all the components always working together, without interruption. Reliability is key to providing safe manatee passage through the locks and dams when the machinery is in service. Consistency is key to keep the Locks open for Navigational traffic during normal business hours without any disruptions to commercial or recreational vessel traffic also allowing uninterrupted flood control and controlled water releases through the dams/spillways. Any malfunction of the MPS can result in closure of the Locks and/or Dams until the problem is corrected. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the USACE to maintain an effective maintenance and repair contract on all MPS, such that preventive measures are regularly performed, and corrective action is contractually available for timely response.

1.3. Objectives:

The primary objectives of this contract are to properly maintain the MPS at all six Locks and five Spillway/Dams by performing regularly scheduled maintenance, cleaning, calibration, troubleshooting, performance verification, performance alterations, reporting, and repairs. Professional execution of these activities is paramount due to the highly technical nature of the MPS and the need to maintain safe and continuous navigational passage and controlled water releases through these Lock and Dam structures 365 days per year. The objective of this contract is to obtain the services of a qualified contractor that can diagnose problems within a 24-hour response time and perform the repairs in a timely manner.

Scope:

The types of services to be performed include:

• Cleaning

Additionally, the contractor shall provide electronic, digital, and mechanical evaluation of all MPS components to demonstrate 100% compliance with a properly functioning MPS as outlined in the MPS Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual located on site at each Lock and Dam facility.

All modifications and upgrades to the MPS systems will require revisions to the Design Documentation Report that details all the information needed to duplicate the existing system at each lock. Such information shall include, but not be limited to, descriptions of all Design Criteria, Manufacturing Criteria, Parts Specifications, Processes, and Instructions.
