Specifications to replace metal doors with installation of fiberglass doors
at the three Sluice Gate Towers at Canton Dam,
Canton Lake, Blaine County, Canton, Oklahoma.
5 Oct 2015
The contractor will furnish manpower, supplies, and equipment to replace old deteriorated metal doors with customized heavy duty fiberglass doors. The metal doors to be replaced are at the three sluice gate towers at Canton Dam. The three sluice gate towers are incorporated into the Canton Dam spillway bridge that is located on Oklahoma State Hwy 58A north of Canton, OK.

There will be 6 new heavy duty fiberglass doors, or 3 pairs, that should be custom sized for the three openings at the three gate tower locations. The three door openings are approximately 36 inches wide by 80 inches tall. (See attached as built drawings) There shall be two doors installed for each opening with both doors being of approximate equal size. Each pair of doors shall include one inactive door and one door with handle and IC Core lock. The existing doors and jams were installed in 1948. The existing metal door jams will not be replaced (no new door framing), but do exhibit some deterioration which may affect mounting of the new doors. Some minor repair of the door jams may be required. Door thresholds will have to be replaced. Required hardware to be installed includes heavy duty butt hinges, door pull handles, cylindrical locksets for IC Core locks, spring loaded top and bottom latches to secure inactive doors to door frames when closed, fold down door stops mounted at the bottom of each door and surface flush bolts. All hardware will be solid brass.
The fiberglass doors shall be heavy duty commercial doors (not residential). The color shall be Bronze.
Removal of the existing metal doors shall coincide with installation of the new doors so they can be locked to keep operations at the dam secure. The door openings shall not be left open and unattended at any time.
