About this file

This is a contractor response template for a Sources Sought notice related to utility feed transformer replacement at the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) Fish Dispersal Barrier facility in Lockport, Illinois. The template is designed to gather information from interested contractors to assist the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Chicago District, in conducting market research and developing an appropriate acquisition strategy, including consideration of a small business set-aside.

The proposed project consists of turnkey removal and replacement of two existing utility feed transformers at the CSSC facility, which operates continuously to protect the Great Lakes from invasive species. The contractor will be responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, transportation, rigging, and incidental services necessary to safely remove and dispose of existing transformers and furnish, install, test, and commission two new operational replacement transformers. As a template document, it does not contain specific response dates, award dates, or pricing terms, but rather provides a framework for interested contractors to demonstrate their qualifications and capability to perform this specialized work.
