The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a Special Notice on June 16, 2026, for fabrication, painting, and barge delivery of bolted Tainter Gates to Lock and Dam 21 in Quincy, Illinois, with the final solicitation anticipated to post to sam.gov on August 14, 2026.
This is a sources-sought and draft-review notice open to all SAM.gov-registered contractors capable of performing the work.

All gates must be delivered within 900 calendar days after Notice to Proceed. Welded assemblies must meet AWS D1.1 standards with no fracture-critical members. Gates may be assembled and painted at the fabricator's shop or a third-party location subject to specification enclosure requirements.
Bidders must hold current AISC certification (IBR with FCE, ABR with FCE, HYD with FCEH, or HYDA) and paint/coating certifications (Complex Coatings Endorsement or SPFC QP3) with continuous certification for three years or non-continuous for five years within the past ten years. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the original contract price and liquidated damages of $1,500 per calendar day for delivery delays apply.
