About this opportunity

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Tulsa District has published a Special Notice regarding an upcoming design-build project to replace the upstream-most cell (Alignment Cell 3) of the pile structure used to align downstream-bound vessels to the lock wall at the W.D. Mayo Lock and Dam facility. The existing Alignment Cell 3 was destroyed in 2023, and the Tulsa District is exploring the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) in its replacement construction.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide information to industry and invite interested prime contractors or subcontractors to attend a virtual Industry Forum on June 5, 2024 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. The estimated construction price range for this project is between $5,000,000.00 to $10,000,000.00. Specific procurement information will be available in a future solicitation posted on the SAM.gov website, and it is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor the SAM.gov and PIEE websites for any updates. The government will not be maintaining a mailing list, and no proposals will be accepted as a result of this notice.

Update #3 · Latest ·

This additional Special Notice (Updated) to W912BV24SKT01 is to request industry response/comment to the industry questionnaire that’s attached with this Update.  This questionnaire is part of the Virtual Industry Day that was held on June 5, 2024.  As describe below, the upstream-most cell (Alignment Cell 3) was destroyed in 2023, and the Tulsa District is exploring the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) in its replacement construction for a potential upcoming design-build project replacing a pile structure used to align the downstream-bound vessels to the lock wall.  This notice is being issued for additional planning and information purposes only.  This notice is not a solicitation, nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the Government.  The response is voluntary, and the Government will not pay for any effort expended in responding to this notice, nor will the Government accept proposals as a result of this notice.

Project Description: W.D. Mayo Lock and Dam is located on the Arkansas River at navigation mile 319.6. It is in LeFlore and Sequoyah Counties about nine miles southwest of Fort Smith, Arkansas. The lock has a 110-foot by 600-foot chamber with horizontally framed miter gates. It has a 20-foot normal lift and 24-foot maximum lift. The dam consists of an 850-foot-long concrete spillway section in the river channel and a 6700-foot-long left embankment which is designed as an overflow section. The concrete spillway is a low apron and sill surmounted by (12) 60-foot by 21-foot Tainter gates separated by 10-foot piers.

Extending approximately 700 feet upstream of the lock’s upstream guide-wall are a series of three sheet pile structures used to align downstream-bound vessels to the lock wall. The upstream-most cell (Alignment Cell 3) was destroyed in 2023. The replacement structure will be constructed in the same location.

Background information on the demolished Alignment cell 3 includes:

  • Constructed around 1973.
  • 52.5-foot diameter.
  • The exterior wall was driven 46’ PS-28 steel piling driven approximately 14.5 feet to rock.
  • The interior was filled with quarry run stone and capped with concrete.

In accordance with FAR 36.204/DFARS 236.204, the estimated construction price range for this project is between

$5,000,000.00 to $10,000,000.00.

Please provide candid and open comments, suggestions and recommendations, and submit the completed questionnaire listed under the 'Industry RFI – Questionnaire WD Mayo Alignment Cell' to the Contracting Specialist, Kordell Tyler at kordel.m.tyler@usace.army.mil, with your company’s name and point of contact information.  Please include any additional questions and/or suggestions to the plans and specifications that your firm may have. For those firms that submit an 'Industry RFI – Questionnaire WD Mayo Alignment Cell', a one-on-one meeting with the Government Design Team may be scheduled to explain the firm's rationale to the questions and their responses.  Both the questionnaire and any subsequent one-on-one meetings will be safeguarded as procurement sensitive information. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Specific information pertaining to any future procurement will be available within a solicitation and will be posted on the SAM.gov website. It is, and will continue to be, the responsibility of all potential Offerors to monitor the SAM.gov and PIEE websites for any future solicitations, amendments, updates, responses to industry questions/comments, etc.
