THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY.

The proposed NAICS code for this procurement is 237990 - Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction.

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Portland District is searching for Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction Contractors who can provide construction services for The Dalles Dam. As part of its market research, USACE Portland District, is issuing this Sources Sought to determine if there exists an adequate number of qualified interested contractors capable of providing the requirement. The Government may use the responses to this Sources Sought for information and planning purposes.

The Dalles Dam is a major dam on the Columbia River. The dam contains an ice and trash spillway. During the winter months there is significant icing caused by spray from the spillway on the roadway/bridge below the spillway/chute creating a safety issue. Currently, the project uses tarps and tie-downs to cover the chute to reduce ice build-up, however, this is a temporary measure. The purpose of this acquisition is to provide a permanent solution to reduce the icing on the bridge.

This is a construction project that will include the purchase and installation of concrete panels to “cap” or cover the chute. In addition, there will be minor cutting on the chute walls to ensure both sides are level to ensure a proper fit of the “cap”. This permanent solution, designed by the Small Projects team and the project, will contain the spray, thus preventing icing on the bridge.

The Ice & Trash Sluiceway Spray Control will include to the following items:

• Purchase and install pre-formed concrete panels to cover the sluiceway chute to control spray

• Leveling existing chute walls to ensure the proper fit of the concrete panels

NO AWARD WILL MADE FROM THIS INITIAL NOTICE. THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR BIDS OR REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS.
