About this file
This is a Design-Bid-Build specification document for a task order under Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC) for the Cannelton Locks and Dam culvert valve replacement project in Cannelton, Indiana. The project is valued between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, with award based on lowest evaluated price. The work scope includes removal of two existing culvert valve assemblies, fabrication and delivery of two new culvert valve assemblies, and installation of the new assemblies on the river wall of the main lock chamber (1200 ft chamber). Each culvert valve assembly comprises a strut arm, bell crank, culvert valve, pins, valve bearing block assemblies, and ancillary items as shown in the plan set. Work activities also encompass unwatering the culvert valve chamber, maintaining the unwatered state throughout installation, and subsequent rewatering. The contractor must perform all demolition, fabrication, and installation work in accordance with the detailed specifications provided, which reference applicable sections for demolition procedures and hydraulic culvert valve installation standards.
The specifications establish comprehensive contract administration requirements including mandatory preconstruction submittals, quality control procedures, as-built documentation standards (both 2D and 3D CAD formats), and a one-year warranty period from final acceptance. Key contractor obligations include maintaining working as-built drawings on a weekly basis with joint review by the Contracting Officer, submitting preliminary as-built drawings six weeks before project completion, and delivering final as-built documents within 14 calendar days of final acceptance. The specifications mandate compliance with EM 385-1-1 safety requirements, hazard communication standards, federal security protocols including background investigations and e-Verify employment verification, antiterrorism training within seven days of site commencement, and veterans employment emphasis. The document references the base MATOC contract (W911WN23D0001 through W911WN23D0007) for additional general requirements, specifies that all costs are included in a lump-sum delivery order price with no separate payments for subsidiary obligations such as project signage or as-built maintenance, and requires contractors to furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and transportation unless otherwise specified in individual delivery orders.

The contractor shall update the CAD working as-built drawings , in accordance with paragraph "Maintenance of Working As-Built Drawings", on a quarterly basis and submit them to the COR for independent Government review. Both paper and electronic documents shall be available at all times and shall be provided promptly to the Contracting Officer's Representatives when requested. The Contractor shall be responsible for backup of electronic files during construction and for controlling release of information.
1.7.2 Withholding
Maintenance of working as-builts is considered part of the value of the facilities being constructed and will not be paid for as a separate line item. All costs in conjunction with periodic as-built maintenance and final preparation shall be considered a subsidiary obligation of the Contractor.
1.7.2.1 Failure to Maintain
If the Contractor fails to maintain the working as-built drawings as specified herein, the Contracting Officer will deduct from the monthly progress payment an amount up to 10% or which, in the Contracting Officer's judgment, represents the estimated cost of bringing the as-built documents up to date. This monthly deduction will continue until an agreement can be reached between the Contracting Officer and the Contractor regarding the accuracy and completeness of working as-built documents. This includes conversion of submittals and other miscellaneous documents.
1.7.2.2 As-Builts Prepared by Contractor
The Contractor is required to prepare and provide final as-built drawings in 2D format and 3D format. The Contractor shall include all native CAD files to produce the 2D drawings and the 3D model.

1.7.3 Maintenance of Working As-Built Drawings
The Contractor shall revise two (2) sets of paper drawings by red-line process to show the as-built conditions during the prosecution of the project. These as-built marked drawings shall be kept current on a weekly basis and available on the jobsite at all times. Changes in the work from the contract or additional information which is uncovered in the course of construction shall be accurately and neatly recorded as they occur by means of details and notes. Changes must be reflected on all sheets that the change affects . The working as-built marked drawings will be jointly reviewed for accuracy and completeness by the Contracting Officer and the Contractor before submission of each monthly pay estimate. The working as-built drawings shall show the following information if applicable to the project, but not be limited thereto:
a. The actual location, kinds and sizes of all sub-surface utility lines. In order that the location of these lines and appurtenances may be determined in the event the surface openings or indicators become covered over or obscured, the as-built drawings shall show, by offset dimensions to two permanently fixed surface features, the end of each run including each change in direction. Valves, splice boxes and similar appurtenances shall be located by dimensioning along the utility run from a reference point. The average depth below the surface of each run shall also be recorded.
b. The location and dimensions of any changes within the culvert valve pit.
c. The correct alignments, typical cross section, structures or utilities if any changes were made from contract plans.
d. Additional as-built information that exceeds the detail shown on the Contract Drawings. These as-built conditions include those that reflect structural details, fabrication, erection, installation plans and placing details, pipe sizes, insulation material, equipment, sizes, mechanical and electrical layouts and other extensions of design, that were not shown in the original contract documents because the exact details were not known until after the time of approved shop drawings. It is recognized that the shop drawing submittals (revised showing as-built conditions) will serve as the as-built record without actual incorporation into the contract drawings. The final as-built construction drawing shall reference the shop drawing file that includes the as-built information. In turn, the shop drawing shall reference the applicable construction as-built drawing. All such shop drawing submittals must include the paper copy and PDF of the drawings.
e. Changes or modifications which result from the final inspection.
