Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Little Rock District has been tasked to solicit for and award a Spall Repair by the preplaced aggregate methodology at McClellan Kerr River Navigation System, Arkansas. The work includes repair of eroded concrete, in the wet, in the following areas; end sill on the lock wall side, stilling basin near the lock wall, lock wall (river side) from the intersection of the lock wall and end sill and downstream. Due to complex geometries, the only cost efficient concrete repair is accomplished using the placement method of preplaced-aggregate. This includes, but is not limited to, the following processes: existing concrete surfaces to which preplaced-aggregate concrete will bond should be thoroughly cleaned and all deteriorated concrete removed, as well as the removal of any exposed, embedded reinforcement and debris in the void; anchoring and placement of additional reinforcement into sound concrete; placement of coarse aggregate within the eroded area; erection and anchoring of water-tight formwork with adequate grout and vent pipes; design of the grout to be used in the repair; mixing and pumping of grout into the voids of the preplaced coarse aggregate; cure and finish of concrete repair; use of divers and/or acoustical imaging to verify repair results; cleanup of site, and incidental related work.
