Lakeside Vessel Barrier Gate Repair at Hoover Dam

The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation is soliciting quotations for construction services to repair and install critical waterborne vessel barrier systems at Hoover Dam. The project encompasses two primary work items: repair and certification of the existing lakeside (upstream) water barrier boomline and installation of a government-owned vessel exclusion barrier gate. Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of three years of field experience in assembly, installation, and verification of Worthington Products and must provide proof of ASTM Standard F2766-11 certification for any vessel exclusion barrier proposed. Award will be made to the responsible offeror submitting the lowest priced quotation, with all proposals evaluated for price reasonableness and unbalanced pricing. Key deadlines include a question submission deadline of April 20, 2026, and a quotation due date of May 14, 2026 at 1600 hours local time, with the government allowing at least 30 calendar days for acceptance after the offer due date.

This solicitation includes no small business set-aside designation. The estimated contract value falls between $25,000 and $100,000, with performance bonds required if the contract exceeds $150,000. The contractor must commence work within 14 calendar days of notice of award and complete all work within 60 calendar days, with a performance period scheduled from May 25, 2026 through July 24, 2026. All contractor employees performing installation work must be paid in accordance with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates, with applicable wage determinations provided for both Nevada and Arizona locations. The work will be performed at Hoover Dam with materials delivered to the Hoover Dam Central Warehouse in Boulder City, Nevada, and the project is subject to critical infrastructure security requirements given Hoover Dam's National Critical Infrastructure designation.
