About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Chicago is seeking a Load Handling Equipment (LHE) rental service for bulkhead relocation at the Thomas J. O'Brien Lock and Dam. The solicitation (W912P625QA001) requires a contractor to provide specialized equipment including rigging, spreader beams, and operators to load eleven bulkheads and one lifting beam onto two Corps-supplied deck barges. Critical contract requirements include providing a lift supervisor, ensuring all equipment certifications are current, and submitting comprehensive safety documentation such as a Health and Safety Plan and Activity Hazard Analysis. The solicitation's response deadline is June 6, 2025, at 1:00 PM CT, with contractors required to submit completed documentation to Stephanie Boyd via email. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on technical capability, safety compliance, equipment qualifications, and the contractor's ability to meet precise lifting and logistical specifications.
The contract is set aside specifically for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) with a size standard of $19,000,000, and will be a firm fixed-price contract. The total contract period spans 180 days, with only one anticipated day of on-site performance during normal working hours. The bulkheads weigh approximately 70,000 lbs each, with six green bulkheads at 5 ft tall and five black bulkheads at 6 ft tall, plus a lifting beam weighing around 25,000 lbs. Recent amendments have expanded the scope to include loading/unloading twelve concrete blocks weighing 11 tons each, requiring the contractor to supply additional lifting lugs. The place of performance is Chicago, IL 60604, with the contract period running from April 18, 2025, to October 15, 2025. The project falls under NAICS category 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and PSC category W036 (Lease or Rental of Equipment - Special Industry Machinery).
