USACE owns and operates nine dams on the river, from Menasha to De Pere, Wisconsin, with the Operations Control Center at Appleton, Wisconsin. Recurring services involve maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, supplying parts and integration work for the security system, Industrial Control System (IC System), and the site-wide supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) network system for the river program.
It is intended that the Corps will enter into one or more blanket purchase agreements with companies that are able to provide these services, and that orders will be placed against such agreements on either a competitive or sole-source basis for a period of three years. Each agreement will stipulate that the contractor must be able to mobilize and respond to emergency situations at the dam and control sites with a 2-hour response time.
The solicitation will be issued in the second half of September 2018, and it is intended that agreements will be established with successful contractors by the end of October 2018. Specific dates will be included in the solicitation. Documents will be available only via this Federal Business Opportunities website, www.fbo.gov.
