- Description
- Questions and Answers #2 dated 7/9/12 The St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (Corporation) plans to issue an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for a contractor to construct/install an ice flushing system at Snell lock in Massena, New York. Snell Lock is a navigation lock that is 80 feet wide and 860 feet long from gate to gate and raises and lowers vessels approximately 43 feet. Snell Lock is in service from late March until late December each year. Typically during the opening and closing periods, ice needs to be flushed from the lock to make room for transiting vessels. The project includes installation of seven (7) steel pipes approximately 50 feet in length having approximate cross-sectional areas of 12 square feet with cross sections varying from rectangular to round. These pipes shall be embedded in the upstream concrete miter gate sill with intakes upstream of the miter gate and outlets in the downstream face of the sill. Each pipe will be fitted with two (2) knife gate valves having openings 5 feet - 7 inches wide and 2 feet - 3 inches high with one (1) valve being electrically operated and the other manually operated. The work will require removal of approximately 1,800 cubic yards of concrete and placement of approximately 1,000 cubic yards of steel reinforced concrete to install the steel pipes and to enlarge a concrete gallery through the miter gate sill at the lock. The work will also include connecting the knife gate actuators to an existing power source, integrating the controls for the new valves with the existing lock operating controls and installing a new access stairway. The work to be performed inside the lock will need to be completed during the 2013 winter shutdown period beginning in January 2013 during an approximate ten (10) week period when the lock is dewatered. Work in the gallery through the miter gate sill that will not interfere with navigation shall be accomplished during the 2013 Navigation Season which begins in late March 3013. Cost range for this project will be between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. The anticipated release date for the IFB is May 18, 2012 with a bid opening date of July 16, 2012. An anticipated firm, fixed price contract will be awarded on or about July 13, 2012. One or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and Free Trade Agreements. The specifications and drawings shall be provided on CD at a non-refundable cost of $25.00 US Funds. Payment may be made by check payable to the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, 180 Andrews Street, Massena, NY 13662 or electronically using a debit or credit card at www.pay.gov. Applicable NAICS code - 237990, Size Standard - $33.5M. This is an unrestricted procurement. All responsible sources may submit a bid which shall be considered by the Saint Lawrence Seaway. Prospective offerors must be registered on the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database at www.ccr.gov to be eligible for award. Attention: The Department of Transportation (DOT) Short Term Lending Program (STLP) offers financial assistance to eligible disadvantaged, HubZone, or service disabled veteran owned businesses. Maximum line of credit is $750,000.00 with a variable interest rate tied to the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal.
