- Description
- The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (Corporation) plans to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for upgrading the vertical lift gate operating machinery and controls located at Eisenhower Lock, Massena, New York. Eisenhower Lock is equipped with a vertical lift gate at the upstream end of the lock. This gate is designed to be an emergency closure to stop the flow of the St. Lawrence River through the lock in the event of a miter gate failure. The vertical lift gate weighs approximately 350 tons and is operated by a hydraulic cylinder and power unit on each side of the lock which are synchronized by a selsyn system. This project is for furnishing all plant, labor, equipment and materials for removing and disposing of the existing operating machinery and controls, except for the cylinders, and for replacing the removed machinery and controls with new. This work will require some design, fabrication, shop testing, delivery, installation, adjustment, field testing and startup. The work shall include but not be limited to modifying or replacing the two (2) hydraulic power units including reservoirs, pumps, motors, valves, transducers, switches, filters, etc.; installing a new control system utilizing programmable logic controllers with a new control console; and flushing the system and replacing the hydraulic fluid. The vertical lift gate cannot be taken out of service until the last vessel transits Eisenhower Lock at the close of the 2002 navigation season (approximately December 26, 2002) and the work must be completed prior to the opening of the 2003 navigation season (approximately March 25, 2003). The cost range of this project is $250,000 and $500,000. There is an $80.00 US funds non-refundable fee for specifications and drawings. Send your request for the IFB package along with the above fee to Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, Attn: Contracting Office, PO Box 520, 180 Andrews Street, Massena, New York 13662. Bid opening is scheduled for August 1, 2002. All responsible sources may submit a bid which shall be considered by the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation. This project is subject to the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program and is open to both small and large businesses. NAICS code 234990.
