A presolicitation was previosly posted on 10 January 2018 under the old solicitation number W9127N18R0014. This presolicitation is to update the magnitude of construction and scope of project.

Synopsis: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) Portland District intends to solicit construction firms who are interested in submitting a competitive firm-fixed price proposal for this project. This announcement is for Gate rehabilitation including all components of the Tainter gate system of the Detroit Dam located at Detroit, OR.

Project Scope: USACE seeks a contractor to Structurally, Mechanically, and Electrically rehabilitate the systems for all six gates at Detroit Dam to address safety, functionality, and reliability of the system. The existing system includes six spillway Tainter gates, mechanical hoist machinery, and electrical controls for operating the gates. Specific project features include:

1. Strengthening hydraulic steel structures by adding cover plates and stiffeners on selected ribs of the Tainter gates.
2. Replace trunnion bearings, wire ropes and their gate connection assemblies, thrust washers, seals and components as necessary.
3. Replace hoist equipment, install load limiting devices, and redesign the brake system to be either redundant or rated for continuous duty.
4. Replace electrical gate control equipment.
5. Update gate operation warning system and signage in accordance with EC-1110-2-6071. Include installation of camera(s) and connection to security system.
6. Repair/replace all damaged or missing hand rails, guard rails and fall protection equipment to bring up to current EM385-1-1 standards.
7. Install secondary oil containment systems around all oil or grease containing equipment that is near water or can drain into the dam sump. (Including trunnion bearings, intermediate shaft bearings, parallel gearboxes, worm drives, etc.)
8. The intake switchgear will also be replaced to increase the reliability of the power system including all the breakers, any contactors, transformers, PT's and CT's. A load shedding scheme and/or soft starts should be considered to prevent strain and tripping the diesel.
9. Replace/upgrade local indication at the gates and install staff gauges on all gates as backup to the local indication per EM 1110-2-6071.
10. Replace limit switches to improve reliability.
