Description
This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS ANNOUNCEMENT. This is a Sources Sought Synopsis announcement; market survey for information only, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this synopsis. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT SHALL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. 1. Purpose. The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the spillway gates at Harlan County Lake's Dam. It is anticipated that no more than 2 to 3 gates will be rehabilitated in a contract. 2.Dam Location and Description. Harlan County Dam is located on the Republican River in south-central Nebraska near Alma, NE. The dam was built in the early 1950's as part of a flood control/irrigation project. The dam is combined earth-rolled embankment and concrete gravity dam. The concrete section includes a controlled spillway regulated by 18 Tainter Gates, 9 sluice gates and two irrigation outlets. The Tainter gates are 40 feet wide and 30 feet high and located between piers located 48 feet on center. The existing piers are constructed of an 8 feet wide section above the spillway weir. The piers resist forces imposed by the water and Tainter gates under various water levels and gate configurations. The piers also carry loads from the bridge that spans between the piers. The reinforcing in the piers is typically spaced at 12 inches on center vertically and horizontally, with 4 quote mark concrete cover. The spillway bridge above the Tainter Gates is simple span with 18 spans. The cast-in-place deck and sidewalks are supported by steel girders, floorbeams and stringers. The steel members are non-composite with the deck. 3. Project Description. The work in this project will consist of strengthening structural steel components of the gate, replacing the existing trunnion and bearing with new components, replace tainter gate chain, repair or replace electrical systems, and blast and paint the gate. Challenging components to the contract are access to the gate, shoring of the gate, and installation of major mechanical and structural components. 4.Access. The ogee of the spillway at Harlan County is steep. The reservoir will be regulated by the sluice gates during gate modifications, indicating an appreciable tailwater will be present. The bridge across the dam cannot be permanently closed during construction and has limited capacity (see paragraph 5). It is anticipated that shoring the tainter gate and replacing the trunnion will occur from accessing the downstream side. Partially filling the stilling basin with gravel for crane access may be acceptable. Other means submitted by the Contractor will be considered. 5.Bridge. As part of the work plan that shall be approved prior to starting work, the contractor shall provide the pattern and magnitude of loads imposed by the specific crane they plan to use for all expected lifting conditions required for the work and permit load rating calculations in accordance with AASHTO MBE to ensure they do not exceed the capacity of the bridge. The minimum recommended permit live load factor is 1.4, the minimum impact factor is 1.0, and the capacity of the bridge shall account for the bottom flange width reduction of 1-inch as noted in the calculations. The loading configurations and calculations are required to be submitted for USACE approval to ensure overloading the bridge does not occur. THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT AND/OR REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI). This Sources Sought/RFI is for information and planning purposes only as defined by FAR 15.201.
