Kentucky Lock Site, Demolitions, and Utilities Construction

PURPOSE: The Nashville District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issues an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation to construct various site modifications, utility relocations, and selective demolition of existing structures located at Kentucky Lock and Dam in western Kentucky.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: USACE Nashville District will award one firm-fixed price construction contract as the result of this sealed bid solicitation.

Major components of the anticipated Site, Demolition, and Utilities contract include:
1) Construction of approximately 700 linear feet of a cantilevered, galvanized steel catwalk and pipe support system attached to be attached to existing concrete lock wall.

2) Construction of two, approximately 4' minimum width utility bridges with spans of 110' and approximately 80'.

3) Relocation of approximately 5,000 linear feet of pressurized 2" diameter PVC sanitary sewer pipe with associated connections to the existing lock operations building and with insulation and a heat traced system for the segments of exposed pipe.

4) Construction of a new sanitary lift station and lift station electrical controls for the 2" relocated sanitary sewer pipe. This will be an open air lift station located on a concrete ledge of the existing lock wall. Wet tank shall have double walls and shall be provided with heat trace.

5) Relocation of an existing piping system. These new pipes will either be surfaced mounted to concrete and steel structures or will be located on the catwalk system.

6) Partial demolition of approximately 1,000 square feet of a single story, pre-cast concrete siding building and associated restoration of the building after demolition.

7) Demolition and new installation of approximately 1,000 LF of control cables for each of the 37 circuits associated with the operation of the lock. This will be a phased relocation effort from manhole to manhole with limited outage of circuits to minimize disruptions to the operation of the existing lock.

8) Demolition and new installation of approximately 1,200 LF of two 3-phase 15 kV shielded electrical power conductors (6 total).

9) Modifications to an abandoned two lane highway bridge to accommodate relocated utilities.
