Summary of Scope of Work: General: The Lower Granite Trash Shear Boom is a floating structure in the forebay of Lower Granite Dam that was designed to direct floating trash and debris away from the powerhouse turbine intakes. The boom consists of 5 spans held in position by four intermediate floats. Each intermediate float is held in place by two anchors-one on the upstream side and one on the downstream side, with a chain/wire rope/hardware system linking the anchors to the intermediate float. Current Conditions: The condition of the Trash Shear Boom Anchorage System is a concern because some existing wire ropes have broken and had to be replaced temporarily with poly ropes tied off to the existing shore anchors. One of the upstream anchor lines that had broken previously was replaced in the winter of 2006-2007. It is anticipated that anchor and anchor line should be in good condition for another 20 to 25 years. This scope of this contract will be to replace the remaining seven anchors/anchor line systems that are still original equipment or are presently tied off to shore anchors. If the trash boom were to come loose from its anchorage, it could end up lodged in either the Spillway Weir surface passage or the turbine intakes. Construction Contract: Using government furnished property-10,000 to 18,000 pound stockless anchors, wire rope, chain, and miscellaneous hardware-assemble the anchorage lines and set the anchors in the river bottom, and connect anchorage lines to the existing intermediate floats to hold the trash shear boom in place. Additional tasks for this contract include: 1. Using government furnished property, install three upstream and four downstream anchors, anchor lines, and hardware to keep the floating trash shear boom in position in the forebay of Lower Granite Dam. 2. Shorten the first span of longitudinal wire rope cable to approximately 10-20 feet. 3. Remove existing and install new (GFP or contractor provided?) backstrap. 4. Re-install chain from trash shear boom floats to the 2-inch mainline. 5. Inspect boat access and replace wire rope cables from the frame to the floats. 6. Inspect 2-inch main line on entire trash shear boom. The contract activities will require support of a barge mounted crane, a dive tender, and various work boats and/or barges. Shore crews shall assemble the anchorage lines onshore for installation by marine crews. Many of the tasks must be performed or supported by dive crews. Most dives will be in the range from the water surface to depths of 20 feet, but a few deep dives up to 120 foot depths will be required. Construction is restricted to the Snake River in-water work window (January 1 through March 1, 2012) and will most likely take place in inclement weather. Safety will be a concern with crane lifts of heavy items; icy conditions; work over water; and work in the forebay of Lower Granite Dam upstream of turbine intakes, conventional spillway gates, and the Spillway Weir surface passage. Additionally, the contractor will be required to provide a Project Superintendent, Quality Control Manager, and Site Safety and Health Officer. The Project Superintendent will not be allowed to perform the duties of either the Quality Control Manager or the Site Safety and Health Officer. However, one person could perform the duties of both the Quality Control Manager and the Site Safety and Health Officer. The person/persons assigned to those positions must meet the following requirements: Quality Control Manager- 1. A minimum of 5 years experience as a Quality Control Manager on similar projects requiring over-water work. 2. Completion of the "Construction Quality Management for Contractors" course within the last 5 years. Site Safety and Health Officer- 1. A minimum of 5 years safety work experience on similar projects. 2. Completion of the 30-hour OSHA construction safety class or equivalent within the last 5 years. 3. Completion of an average of at least 24 hours of formal safety training each year for the past 5 years. 4. Competent person training as needed
