John Day Powerhouse Drainage Gallery Repairs

Powerhouse 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 the identification of corrective measures and implementation of repairs to correct water flow into the John Day Powerhouse Galleries, Generator floor, and flooding of other areas, located at the John Day Dam Project, Sherman County, OR and Klickitat County, WA.

Project Scope: This project consists of the following:

John Day Roof Background: During the construction of the John Day Dam in 1968-1972, the dam foundation was laid in monoliths, or segments, of concrete. Those segments have joints where they meet within the dam. These joints are pressurized and over time have increased in water flow through the seams down to the gallery at the base of the dam.

Scope of Work: Project will consist of reviewing the entire powerhouse drainage system and methods and systems identified to mitigate water flow, collect water, and dispose of the drainage from the powerhouse. Water stop technological advances will be reviewed with recommendations for implementation at the powerhouse. This project will reduce presence of water in work areas, increase worker safety, and protect critical equipment.

Acquisition Strategy: The solicitation will be a Best Value Trade Off (BVTO). The Government will include options. This acquisition will result in a single fixed-price contract.

Magnitude of Construction: The estimated cost of the project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.
