130-Ton Crane Rentals

The Bureau of Reclamation's Grand Coulee Power Office is seeking to rent two 130-ton mobile rough terrain (RT) cranes and two 1050' wire ropes for the refurbishment of the Washington Power Plant Tailrace Crane. The cranes must be identical models, such as the Linkbelt RTC 80130 series II or an equivalent, and include environmental cabs capable of operating on paved and gravel roadbeds. Specific technical requirements include a minimum 80-ton hook block, 7/8" wire rope with 22,880 lb load capacity, and boom capabilities ranging from 40'-90' length with a 10'-80' radius. The technical evaluation will focus on the delivery timeline and whether both cranes are the same make and model. Proposals were originally due by February 7, 2025, but have been extended to February 12, 2025, through Amendment 0002.

This solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 532412, with a $40 million size standard for the Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing category. The rental period is scheduled from February 24, 2025, to June 23, 2025, with an option to extend for up to 4 additional weeks.

The equipment must meet specific technical specifications, including the ability to place stoplogs with a boom tip elevation 50' above the tailrace to a full placement position 150' below, and demonstrate adequate winch torque for lifting, rotating, and positioning loads. No specific incumbent or current contractor is mentioned in the solicitation documents.
