Scope of Work

McNary Lock and Dam (McNary) is located on the Columbia River, near the town of Umatilla, Oregon.  The navigation lock is a critical piece of the infrastructure for river travel on the upper Columbia River and the Snake River.  The McNary navigation lock allows for passage of over 5 million tons of commodities on a yearly basis, raising transiting river traffic an average of 75 feet to Lake Wallula.  The navigation lock has been in service since 1954.

McNary has two pump rooms in the navigation lock (navlock), one at the downstream and one at the upstream ends of the navlock.  Each pump room is designed to handle both unwatering of the lock fill/empty culverts, and drainage from gallery leakage. The proposed project will replace one unwatering pump (approx. 50 HP,  1200 GPM) pump and three drainage pumps (approx. 7.5 HP, 250 GPM), along with re-routing inlet piping and outlet pumping (outlet pipe approx. 300 feet of 10-inch dia steel pipe).  Temporary Power and/or motor control centers maybe required for commissioning the new pumps. The project will also include an elevated structural floor (approx. 2 feet above existing concrete floor, and 250 square feet).  The pump room is located in the lower gallery of the NavLock , elev 241 (the top deck is at elev 361).  Access to the pump room is limited to a stairwell and vertical elevator shaft.  The freight elevator is not functional but the shaft can be used to lower supplies and materials.  Electrical controls and power to the pumps will be done by others and is not part of this contract

All on-site work shall be performed in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1).
